The picture shows how carbonated beverages are produced.
Overall, the process comprises a number of stages, starting with cleaning raw water, through different mixing stages, and ending with the finished products being distributed to supermarkets.
At the beginning of the process, raw water stored in large warehouses is pumped through a pipe into a room to be filtered, after which water softener and some chemicals are added in order to purify the water. Subsequently, it is pumped into a large chamber to be heated by means of electric heaters. Once the water vaporizes, the steam has to go through a long pipe in order for it to condense before entering a large tank where an influx of carbon dioxide constantly flows into the tank under high pressure from another pipe to make carbonated water.
The process continues with the carbonated water being directed to a mixing tank, at which point syrup and substances creating colors and flavors are added according to the desired types of drinks. After this mixture is filtered to ensure that it is safe for consumption, it is pumped into plastic bottles and cans are then packaged in large cardboard boxes, which are then shipped to the supermarket by trucks.
