Will cement harden in the cement truck if it is not rotating?
Actually, the rotation is mainly to keep the concrete well mixed and homogeneous during transport, thereby insuring the sand, gravel, water, and cement is well mixed. The concrete itself will set up or harden at approximately the same rate of time, regardless, whether it is rotating or not. Typical concrete mixes show noticeable hardening/stiffening after approx 2 hours, depending on temperature and other factors.**Note: The correct term is concrete. Cement is actually the dry gray powder, that when hydrated with water, bonds the rock and sand together to make concrete.
