The diagram illustrates how orange juice is manufactured in a contunious cycle. Overall, the process involves 6 key stages, where only a certain type of orange go through the whole stream, while the others are distributed to different facilities.
In the initial stage, fresh oranges are harvested and collected before delivered to the factory, where these fruits undergo the cleaning, peeling and shaping process. Next, a conveyer belt was used to delivered the fruit into an extractor, which turn the orange into waste solid and fresh juice, suiting different uses. Notably, the diagram reveals a critical divergence at this point: while the solid waste being transfered to farms for livestock’s diets, the fresh liquid experience two distincts process: instant packpaging and a more detailed canning process, creating a high-quality refreshment for cosumers.
Regarding the canning process, the fresh orange juice has to be transported into a specialized plant, where these liquid are put under a heating machine in order to extract water and extraneous matter, resulting in a concentrate juice. Follow this crucial phase, the pure juice are canned before moved to a warehouse, which was used to store the liquid. Then, more liquid are mixed with the canned juice in the factory. Subsequently, the perfected orange juices are delivered to the retail shops after go through a packanging process, completing the orange juice production cycle. Meanwhile, the fresh juice in the extracting stage experience a more leaned process, including packaging and distributing into shops process, finishing the manufacturing cycle.
