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 illustration demonstrates the process of turning

sugar

cane into

sugar

.

Overall

, the process is broken down into seven steps that can be categorized into four main categories. Planting, harvesting, crushing, and processing.

To begin

with, the

sugar

cane is grown for around 12-18 months. After that, the second step is to harvest the

sugar

cane which can be done manually by the farmers or with the help of a machine. After the

sugar

canes are harvested, the farmers put it into a machine specialized to crush it in order to extract the liquid. After that, we start to process the liquid using the help of machines. In the fourth step, it is put through a limestone filter to purify the juice. From

this

, the extracted juice is put into an evaporator over heat, to turn the liquid into syrup. It is

then

put into a centrifuge to separate the

sugar

crystals from the syrup.

Lastly

, the

sugar

is dried and cooled in the seventh step.
