The diagram illustrates how orange juice is manufactured in a continuous cycle. Overall, the process involves six 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 before delivered to the factory, where these fruits undergo the cleaning, peeling, and converting phase. Next, a conveyor belt is used to carry the fruit into an extractor machine, which turns the oranges into waste solids and fresh juice, serving different purposes. Notably, the diagram reveals a critical divergence at this point: while the fruit waste being transfered to farms for livestock’s diets, the fresh liquid faces two distinct stages, including instant packaging and a more detailed canning process, creating a high-quality refreshment for consumers.
Regarding the canning process, the bare juice has to be transported to a specialized plant, where this liquid is put under a heating machine in order to extract water and extraneous matter, resulting in a concentrate juice. Following this crucial phase, the pure juice are canned before moved to a warehouse, which is used for storing. Then, more pure water are added in the each can in the factory. Subsequently, the perfected orange juice are delivered to the retail shops after going through a packaging process, completing the production cycle. Meanwhile, the fresh juice in the extracting stage go through a more leaned process, including wrapping and distributing to shops, finishing the manufacturing stream
