How Cement Is Made? (Mega Factories Video)

- A cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel (aggregate) together. Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel, produces concrete. Concrete is the most widely used material in existence and is behind only water as the planet's most-consumed resource.
Cement manufacturing is a complex process that begins with mining and then grinding raw materials that include limestone and clay, to a fine powder, called raw meal, which is then heated to a sintering temperature as high as 1450 °C in a cement kiln. In this process, the chemical bonds of the raw materials are broken down and then they are recombined into new compounds. The result is called clinker, which are rounded nodules between 1mm and 25mm across. The clinker is ground to a fine powder in a cement mill and mixed with gypsum to create cement. The powdered cement is then mixed with water and aggregates to form concrete that is used in construction.
Clinker quality depends on raw material composition, which has to be closely monitored to ensure the quality of the cement. Excess free lime, for example, results in undesirable effects such as volume expansion, increased setting time or reduced strength. Several laboratory and online systems can be employed to ensure process control in each step of the cement manufacturing process, including clinker formation.

Well good documentry. Now latest technology is more efficient by using vertical grinding mills on raw materials and cement side. Hot escpae gases are capture to produce electricity.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Which process you liked the most?
Ok
Please some key words about exploitation of hot escape gases to produce electrical energy

New Technology features Robo Lab for sample testing, and a Cross Belt Analyser (CBA) that test samples directly from the mines.
This was a good documentary, it brought back memory of my time at the cement plant in Jamaica where I was a pump operator.
Where’s jamaica?
@@SurajInd89 It's an island country in Central America.
Hi! I'm making a documentary about cement factory workers. I would love to hear about your years working there 👋
thanks to explain whole senario of cement product without steping up:)
Ohorongo cement in Namibia. I went there in 2nd year of Engineering on a school trip. Glad its featured here.
Excellent documentary. Well explained steps.
This video explains the process really well
I was just about to say this is Ohorongo cement in otavi, Namibia, southern Africa when I saw the staff uniform and company logo, keep up the good work guys
Really got me there man,for years not even the workers could explain thumbs up 💘💘 💘💘

Napakagandang dokumentaryo 👍
My favorite part of the manufacturing process was just looking at pictures of the quarry. Thank you for your time
my dad works at a quarry. going down in the pit as a kid was always my favorite :)
Gosh I love crushers and mining equipment. My favorite line of work.
And it all started with a bang !!! The metaphor
Giant beasts with noble quests
Nice vedio. Well explained
I worked at the coal fired power plant before, the coal that was burned & turned into ashes became cement
True. Herein they not tell how they do. May be secret?
Awesome!
Very Informative, Thanks for Sharing
Is on line XRay used in cement analysis?
i live a few minutes from a cement manufacturer.....looks like cape canaveral.interesting insight into the methods used and scale of equipment used in the process.
Very good thanks for sharing.
This process should be taught in school
That would be amazing!
Thanks,there great peoples in the industries ,once apon a time I made concrete , concrete pipes ,highways,airport runway,dams,infrastructure for plants,ports for ships,bridges,this country's need more works to be done,brothers just keep it going to have a clean water .
Does Rubble from buildings turn back into cement?
Rubble from buildings, which typically consists of concrete, bricks, and other construction materials, does not naturally turn back into cement. Cement is a specific binding agent that is used to make concrete by mixing it with aggregates like sand and gravel.
I hope we answered your query.
Excellent documentary.
Thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation. What part of the manufacturing process you liked the most?
hello how are you doing
Super information.
Take my hat off to the guy or girl that discovered it. Without him or her, I won't be able to do my concrete garden posts 😊
I believe it was the Ancient Roman Republic near 2000 years ago which created the first mixes of Cement and Concrete using lime and volcanic ash
Great video!
Thank you for your feedback :)
Which process you liked the most?

Where is the speaker from ??????
Thank you for the information
Interested to know how much power (energy) is needed to produce 1 tonne of cement and where will it come from in future??
Where can I get the machine for making cement powder
Question: I get the mix that goes into making concrete. However, why can't a driver add water when they get to the construction site ?? This would end any trucks ending up with a load of solid mix in their mixer. Is this a problem ??
They can and they do but more water reduces compressive strength.
It's really an amazing science but the sidewalk in front of your house doesn't have to maintain the same level of criticality as the Hoover Dam or the launch pad at Spacex.
It's more than just water (slump), it's mix design and Time from batch to pour, air...etc.
Adding water at the construction site can compromise concrete quality and strength. It's best to ensure proper mixing at the batching plant.
Great Engineering division
Thank you for your feedback :)

How I wished, there could be a cement factory in my Town, we have plenty of Lime materials in out Town at, Candoni, Negros Occidental, Philippines.
But, we don't have interested investors in here.
Largest cement manufacturing plant in the world is in Missouri, USA.
I swear this looks like the Portland mill right down the road here in Florence CO.
one humble suggestion: during calcification of cement along with using coal, methane gas, plastic wrapers, plastic wastes along with oxidizer for environmental ecosystem and cleaning may be used. cement industry can contribute in elimination of waste plastic with good supply of oxygen for clean earth.
*Weird Fact:* A guy named Charles Laleman has a patent for *"Use of blood in the cement, mortar and concrete industry for obtaining a lightened material."*
That specific process was suggested for creating concrete on missions off-planet. Since there will be extremely limited access to water, they suggested using urine and human blood from the very astronauts manufacturing it.
Luckily for those future space-people, it's been discovered that potato starch is almost twice as effective as a binding/strengthening agent.
So blood is off the table, except in an emergency situation. But let's face it, draining astronaut blood to build bricks, therefore rapidly weakening and dehydrating them, would drastically reduce their chances of survival.
@@Dubtee that sounds super metal, but im happy my favourite food is being used in space exploration
Are you bloody sure???
@@mrsamsung8184ya I don’t believe this guy, need some concrete evidence to support his claim
Ancient or Roman concrete had blood...human blood. One of the reasons it's superior to modern stuff.🍻
"grinded" is incorrect in this context.
This is compelling, keep it coming
I've been ther in 3 years holcim batangas, ka gabok ahh😂😂as a security
Looking for hydrogen-based green cement.., where transportation to grinding & clinkerisation, all done by Green Hydrogen energy..!!
How much does it cost to build a cement plant, we plan to build a cement plant in Indonesia.
One of the main ingredients is spelled MARL. I thought he was saying marrow.
Never forget about safety. Use Softgle Comfort
Other cement works use blast furnace slag most likely to be silicates
Well done bro
we all should thank FRED FLINTSTONE for inventing cement
If you built a kiln in your backyard and cooked limestone for a month you might have enough for a 10x10 patio. and your lungs would probably be cashed.
The kiln would be the hard part 😂. I laid brick in cement and lime kilns and the are huge. Takes alot of power to run them.
Thanks,I am the industry ,I am just keeping up the pace .
I'm confused, the bags are 50kg each. How does a person lift them on a regular basis without injuring themselves? The bags in my country are 20kg each to help avoid injury.
Way too many shortcuts in this vid
What your country? In my country 1 bag is 50 kg
@@sushiimotto , Australia.
By not being a little b1tch...
They used to be 44kg here in Canada in recent years the changed to 20kg
And then, according to the _American Truck Drivers_ channel, they over estimate the carrying capacity of a flatbed. And break it in half with too many bags.
Unbelievable. Incredible!!!!!!
The narrative isn't clear. Some words are incomprehensible.
Very nice sir ....
I love Exploreing..
I am from India.. Can you tell me.. Where I can get this kind of video..
On CZcams
Coal mill missing
So you meant concrete… cement is an ingredient in concrete.
Not made to highest quality possible... made to meet the approved standard
It looks very ORGANIC lol In my country, they put lots of trashes in cement.
We have a rock rock quarry and I think I wanna do this
7 to 10 % of world wide energy usage goes into cement/concrete
👏👏👏
grinded eh !!!

very expensive to make cement
“Grinded” is not a word.
Ok mr spelling bee dictionary
I did not ground a railing on my skateboard. I grinded it.😂🍻
Grinded by a doofus….

Whatever you're smoking I'd like some a that
Sorry but what is mirl or what sounded like that and if we don't already know the mill types telling us what it isn't doesn't help. This assumes we already know the process and equipment.
Marl is the name they give to dirt or rock of specific characteristics. Hardened mud (clay) which contains a high percentage of calcium carbonate is “marl.” It’s found all over the world with differing chemical properties.
@@richardbryanesq Thanks I really appreciate that. thanks for making the effort to let me know.
Shut yer yapper
Were they talking about cement or concrete? Cement acts as a glue.
What a flood hits the factory. That would be messed up
South West Africa has a low rainfall.
Fact: ur showing how massive cement is made... not HOW ITS MADE! BOOOOO...
I can taste that carcinogenic dust, making me cough😮💨🍻
Skip the loud music.
wow
It's great see young black men in the laboratory making easy money forming real raw rocks into concrete.🙏
Forming rocks instead of pushing them?
@@Dynamatrix1973 it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out 🤣
Whats wrong with u
Why do they not use the heat used to make electricity,,,,,all that resources used on one task ,can't the government have electric plants be built using the waste heat needed ,,,,why no one ever talks of this
And there it is cool
klinker lol
It's CONCRETE! Cement is an ingredient of concrete! I've poured concrete for 20yrs and it drives me nuts when people call concrete cement! 😂😂
Pretty sure this is cement he’s talking about mate, concrete is a mix of cement and aggregate and there is no aggregate mentioned in this vid (unless it does mention it and I just wasn’t listening)
Yeah mate just rewatched and the stuff he’s packing off is defo cement haha, maybe you’ve just called it concrete but the guy in the vid is defo right lol
Agreed this is specifically about cement.
Q but the point remains, people use the terms interchangeably.
Bro it's cement he's talking about. Concrete is a mix of cement sand & stone😂😂
is everyone that makes cement black?
Of course not
Get rid of that annoying background noise
SEE-MAYINT
Is this in africa?
How'd u guess
Africa is not a country genius!
🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Dude those sounds effects are horrible, lower their level plzzz
Thank you for your feedback, it helps us to improve.
Carbon footprint is BS
How does limestone reduce the carbon footprint can some liberal tree hugger explain this to me
Trumptard huh?
eh
All Stores 100,000 Please Lower the price of all Brands of Military Equipment and Local for All Brands of Cement Products and Production Cost Now 100,000 That's Too Much $$ 100,000 Now The Whole World 100,000 Now 🙏 🙏 🙏
how cement is made ? let me give you the stats of every machine on the factory .bro nobody want to listen that silo can store 7000 tones of powder . just state only state the facts of the proccess
🧐
This is in Africa.
Really?
South West Africa.
Africa is not a country. Are you people from Europe, North America or Asia making dumb statement.
Vrm
Way too many shortcuts and assumptions
Troll.
I thought, what an amazing channel UNTIL you said something about carbon footprint and realized this is another propaganda channel pushing carbine footprint bullshit.
