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 following diagram illustrates the process of producing edible

sugar

from the

sugar

canes.

Overall

, the process consists of three significant subprocesses: farming, harvesting, and mechanical extraction and filtration. The first step involves the farming of the crop; it takes around 1 to 1.8 years to fully mature and grow.

Then

, these crops are either harvested by groups of agricultural tractors and trollies or they are chopped down by the farmers themselves. When the harvesting is done,

then

these

sugar

crops are crushed using a circular crushing engine. These engines compress the

sugar

canes with immense pressure, which results in the extraction of a sugary fluid.

This

fluid is

then

filtered using a limestone filter, and

then

it is sent for boiling. The evaporation boils it up to the point where its water content is completely evaporated.

Then

it is sent to the mixer, where it is constantly stirred until the crystal separates from the mixture. These crystals are

then

dried and cooled in order to be consumed later.
