The provided illustration outlines the sequential stages involved in the production of sugar from sugar canes.
Overall, the process encompasses the growth of sugar canes over a period of 12-18 months, the harvesting and extraction of juice, purification of the juice using a limestone filter, evaporation to form syrup, and the final separation of sugar crystals using a centrifuge, following which the juice undergoes drying and cooling.
The initial phase of the process involves the cultivation of sugar canes for approximately 12 to 18 months, and subsequently, they are harvested either through automated means or manually. The harvested canes undergo juicing using a specialized machine to extract the juice. The extraction process yields cane juice, which is then subjected to purification through a limestone filter to remove impurities.
Further in the process, the purified juice is transferred into an evaporator to remove excess water, transforming it into a syrup-like consistency. This syrup then undergoes separation in a centrifuge, resulting in the extraction of sugar crystals. The final steps involve the drying and cooling of the sugar, after which the finished sugar crystals are ready for packaging and distribution.
