The diagram illustrates the phases involved in producing sugar from sugar cane plants.
Generally speaking, sugar production involves seven main stages that start with growing sugar cane plants on farms and culminate in drying and cooling the to form sugar - the final product.
As the process diagram suggests, in the first step, the sugar cane plants are grown in the fields for , and then harvested manually or with the help of agricultural machinery. After that, the sugar cane stalks are crushed in a grinder, resulting in the formation of sugar cane juice. Afterwards, this juice is purified with the use of a limestone filter. Subsequently, the juice is heated in an evaporator device. During this step, the vaporization of water creates the syrup, which is then poured into a centrifuge machine sugar crystals from the syrup. In the final stage, the created crystals are dried and cooled to manufacture the final product - which is sugar.
