How do we produce cement?
First, we quarry the raw materials (limestone and clay). After some processing and chemical tests, the raw materials are transferred to a furnace where the temperature reaches about 1,600 degrees Celsius.
Inside the furnace, the natural raw materials are transformed into a new mineral called clinker. The clinker is ground into a fine gray powder, and mixed with gypsum and minerals to create cement.
Cement is the main raw material in concrete production, and it is the material that gives concrete its strength. The cement is kept in bulk storage tanks (silos) or in bags.
