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 picture diagram illustrates the phases involved in producing

sugar

from

sugar

cane plants.

Overall

, there are seven distinct stages of

this

process

which starts with planting

sugar

canes and culminates in drying and cooling the crystal syrup to form

sugar

which is ready to be consumed. In the first stage of

this

process

, the

sugar

cane plants are grown from one to one and a half years before being harvested by farmers and machines. After that,

sugar

canes are put into a crushing machine where they are pressed hard enough to produce juice.

Subsequently

, the liquid goes through a limestone filter to eliminate all of the impurities. The

process

continues as the purified juice is taken into an evaporator using high temperature to transform the juice into syrup.

This

is followed by the use of a centrifuge to separate

sugar

crystal from syrup before it is left dried and cooled to get the finished product -

sugar

in the

last

stage of

this

process
