You guys are not going to believe what works the best and 100 times faster. I thought about this for a long time and finally today I ran the test. I looked all over you tube and nothing notta squat. This is mine. I made wood table 3 feet high with a plywood top. I cut 4 inch hole in the plywood and mounted a garbage disposal. Add cement chunks and out comes powder. It works awesome!!!
Hi@@SpongeHu just wanted to say thanks loads, worked a treat. I have had bags sitting in the barn for a few years so they are pretty hard. I spun it for about 30mins, probably a bit more than needed, but it didn't. However, I would suggest using somewhat bigger rocks/stones, this makes it easier to identify those pieces of cement that didn't quite crush down. All-in-all great tip.
@@DRockit72 Unfortunately, it is not a good solution if the entire bag of cement is set and cannot be broken into pieces. This method is only recommended if the cement can still be used but there are a lot of pieces in it. The cement will be gravelly from the steam and can then be used. If the cement gets water and hardens completely, it is no longer recommended Thanks :)
@@SpongeHu I did indeed initially break the cement up with my scheppach aero spade into smaller pieces and then put it into the mixer. To be honest I will ever only use this cement now to erect posts and small areas of hard standing as I understand the quality of it has more than likely diminished for anything more substantial.

Hi, just wondering how long you turned it for and how much of the bag did you put in if not the entire bag?
Hi, you don't have to rotate for a long time, 5 minutes is enough. I didn't put the whole bag in, but about half of it, 12-13 kg.
