Band 6+: Task 1: The diagram below shows the manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The illustration sheds step-by-step phases involved in producing sugar from sugar cane.

Overall, this operation has seven individual steps which begins with growing the sugarcane and gaining sucrose as the end product.

In the initial stage the sugarcane is cultivated which takes about 12 to 18 months until maturity. After this when the sugarcane is ready to be cut off then they are harvested either mechanically using tractor or manually by the farmers.

Afterwards, the sugarcane is then taken to a processing plant where it is crushed to extract the juice. This liquid is then purified by using the limestone filter which removes impurities. Next, the purified juice is boiled in an evaporator to remove H2O. which concentrates it to make syrup.

Additionally, the syrup is then poured into a centrifuge where the syrup spins at a high speed to separate the sugar crystals from the liquid. Finally, the crystals are dried and cooled in a large pot and at last sugar is produced.
