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

The given diagram illustrates the production cycle of

sugar

out of

sugar

cane.

Overall

, it can be seen that the whole procedure constitutes seven steps from growing

sugar

cane and harvesting it to drying the

sugar

and cooling it

at the end

.

Firstly

, the cultivation of

sugar

cane is a lengthy and time-consuming procedure which takes up to 18 months, the minimum being 12 months. Afterwards, either human labour or mechanised tractors harvest the crops before it is transferred to be crushed in the third stage utilising a wheeled mechanical machine to produce juice out of the yields.

Secondly

, the juice goes through a purifying process passing through a limestone filter and

then

it turns into syrup during the evaporation stage inside a heated cylinder. After that,

sugar

crystals become separated from syrup

while

spinning in a centrifuge.

Finally

,

sugar

is the outcome of all these sophisticated industrial processes,

then

the manufactured good is dried and cooled before being packaged and transported to the markets.
