0:57refine using heavy construction equipment
1:01the raw materials are brought to the plant where they are stored prior to

1:10numeric reference system the raw materials are mixed in specific
1:15proportions by weight
1:18the specified mixture is achieved by varying the speed of the conveyors that
1:23feed a master conveyor the conveyor dumps the mixture of raw materials into
1:30a storage tank
1:31the mixture is then fed into a series of mixing tanks with water and ceramic
