The picture diagram illustrates the phases involved producing sugar from sugar cane.
Generally speaking, sugar production includes seven main stages that start with growing the sugar cane on farms and culminates in drying and cooling the crystal syrup to form sugar which is ready to be consumed.
At the first stage, the sugar cane plants are harvested from the farmland when they are about a year to eighteen months old. The harvesting of sugar cane plants is done either manually or with the help of agricultural machinery. After that, the sugar cane stalks are crushed in a grinder, resulting in the formation of sugar cane juice. At the next step, the sugar cane stalks are crushed in a grinder, resulting in the formation of sugar cane juice. The juice is then prepared using a limestone filter. Then the juice is heated in the evaporator. During this stage, the evaporated water creates syrup, which is then poured into a centrifuge to separate the sugar from the syrup. In the final step, the resulting sugar crystals are dried and cooled to create the final sugar.
