The diagram below shows the manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane.

The diagram displays the stepwise process of producing

sugar

from

sugar

cane.

Overall

, the process of making

sugar

contains 7 steps

such

as growing, harvesting, making

juice

, purifying, making

syrup

, centrifuging, and the

last

drying and cooling.

The first step is

to grow

sugar

cane, which takes 12-18 months. After growing it, a harvesting process may take place, there are two ways to harvest - manually or mechanically. If it is mechanically, a combined machine collects

sugar

cane,

while

manually, people harvest them by hand, using some tools.

Next,

harvested sugarcanes experience crushing, when they convert into

juice

.

Then

, the

juice

is purified through a limestone filter to start evaporating it. In order to make

syrup

, purified

sugar

juice

heats up in a special container. Afterwards, hot

syrup

centrifuges,

as a result

, the

syrup

separates from

sugar

crystals.

Finally

, the

sugar

crystals need to dry and cool, so the final product is

sugar

.
