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 illustrates the

process

of

sugar

manufacture from

sugar

cane

plants.

It is clear that

there are 7 stages in the production of

sugar

. The

process

begins with planting

sugar

cane

and ends with dry and cool processing before being distributed to other industries. Looking at

sugar

production in detail,

sugar

cane

is ready to be harvested after it is 12 to 18 months old. There are two methods of harvesting, using harvester machines or slashing manually by farmers. Following that, the

sugar

cane

stalks are crushed to extract the juice.

Then

, the extract needs to be filtered to produce pure essence through a limestone filter. At the fifth stage in the

process

, the juice extract is heated in a big tube, and the resulting evaporate is syrup.

Next,

the syrup is separated through a centrifugation

process

to get

sugar

crystals.

Finally

, these crystals are dried and cooled before

sugar

can be consumed.
