The flow chart depicts the process of manufacturing sugar from the sugar cane plant.
The process commences with the cultivation of sugar cane, which requires a growth period of 12 to 18 months. It continues with their harvesting, which can be done either manually or through the use of machines. Thirdly, a different device is used to crush the sugar canes and squeeze out their fresh sweet juice.
In the next step, freshly squeezed juice is purified in a filter, which consists of limestone and some construction material. Subsequently, a large pot called the evaporator is used to heat up the juice until it becomes syrup. After being evaporated, a substance is divided into two parts in a centrifuge: sugar crystals and syrup. Finally, natural sugar is obtained after drying and cooling the crystals.
In general, there are seven primary steps in the manufacturing of sugar, which begin with the cultivation of sugar cane on farms and end with the drying and chilling of crystal syrup to create sugar that is suitable for consumption.
