The diagram illustrates the step-by-step process of how fruit is processed and canned.
Overall, the process consists of 14 main stages, starting with picking fresh fruit by hand and ending with transporting the final canned products to customers.
To begin with, fresh fruit is picked by hand from trees and transported to the processing facility by large trucks. Next, the fruit is washed thoroughly with water and goes through a quality check, where bad pieces are removed. After that, the selected fruit is kept in cold storage.
In the second phase, the fruit is weighed and graded according to its quality. Following this, the skin is removed during the peeling step, and the fruit is cored and sliced into smaller pieces. Next, the sliced pieces are put into tin cans.
In the final stages, the cans are sealed tightly to prevent air from entering. They are then cooked and sterilized at high temperatures to kill bacteria. After cooling down, labels are placed on the cans. Finally, the finished canned goods are stored in a warehouse before being dispatched for delivery.
