The given picture illustrates the way in which carbonated drinks are manufactured for commercial purposes.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that the carbonated drink is a man-made linear process that requires various machineries. Additionally, there are 5 main stages involved in that process, beginning with cleaning water and culminating in the finish of the final product.
In the first stage, the raw water is pumped from a factory through a filter to remove any impurities. After which, the water is treated with a special water softener and chemicals to make the water safe for consumption. Then, the treated water is pumped through a pipe and into an electric heater to vaporise the water. After that, the vapour is turned into normal water again through a cooling pipe and into a chamber where it is mixed with carbon dioxide for those fizzing sounds and the taste later on.
In the 3rd step, the mixture of water and carbon dioxide is poured into a mixing machine, where it is stirred with the drink’s colouring, syrup, and some signature flavours. Having been mixed throughout, the liquid passed through another filter to ensure that there are no clumps or impurities from the mixing stage. Once this has been done, the drink is then filled into small containers, either using bottles or aluminium cans. The process ends when the products are fully packaged and packed on a truck to take them to supermarkets.
