Although the two terms are used interchangeably, it’s important to understand that cement and concrete are not the same thing. Rather, cement, also called Portland cement, is one of the many raw materials included in concrete.
Concrete forms when you combine aggregates of sand, gravel or crushed stone, along with a paste. That paste is usually made of water and cement.
So, what we call a “cement mixer” or a “cement truck” is actually called a “concrete mixer” within the construction industry. These trucks come in a wide variety of sizes, types, and configurations capable of handling a variety of needs.
