The diagram below shows the manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram gives information on the entire

sugar

production process from the starting point, namely the

sugar

cane

, to the final product.

It is clear that

sugar

manufacturing comprises a total of seven steps. The main manufacturing stages begin once the

sugar

cane

has grown and is ready for harvesting. In order to make

sugar

,

firstly

the

sugar

cane

needs to be planted and allowed to grow for 12 to 18 months.

Then

people can harvest mature plants with the help of modern machines

such

as tractors or some primitive tools like scythes. The main process starts with the crushing of the

sugar

cane

so that we can obtain the juice from it.

Following

this

, the juice is purified with a limestone filter and

then

taken into an evaporator. As the temperature continues to rise, the juice is turned into syrup. By using the technique of centrifuges, the

sugar

crystals can be separated from the syrup. And when the crystals have been dried and cooled, we gain the final product,

sugar

.
