The best-known use of cement is the production of concrete for civil engineering structures or gray, white or colored architectural concrete. This material consists of water, cement and aggregates. This product is essential in the seismic reinforcement of building foundations and structures.
Abundant, close to consumption centers, generating employment and versatile in its use, concrete is fully recyclable after its long-life cycle.
Due to its high use, low cost and ease of manufacture, this material has no alternative competitor allowing the construction of development structures essential to human dignity.
The concrete manufacturing process consists of mixing cement, aggregates and water. These raw materials are transported by truck to the factory and after rigorous quality control are stored in different silos which, in the case of aggregates, are classified according to their type and granulometry.
After weighing the cement and aggregates in the proper proportions, these materials can be mixed in two ways.
The first puts the material in a mixer with water until a homogeneous mass is obtained. After this phase, the concrete is unloaded in concrete mixer trucks and transported to the place where it will be applied.
Another way is to put the material directly into the concrete mixer truck, where the components are mixed during transport.
The dosing system is automatic. The proportions vary depending on the program chosen, to ensure the smooth operation of the entire concrete manufacturing process.
