Ready mixed concrete facility revisited

 
Some more photos were taken from the ready mixed concrete facility also shown in 'Concrete' in the 2014-2 Photos section.

This factory is utilized for mixing cement, sand or gravel, and other ingredients with water. The mixture is transported to a work site with trucks equipped with a rotating drum (photo 1) where it is deposited in prefabricated forms. After hardening we get the concrete as we know it.

In the photos below the conveyer belt is followed from left to right ending up at the filling station for the trucks.
