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 flowchart illustrates the procedure for producing

sugar

from one specific type of crop.

It is clear that

there are seven steps in the production of

sugar

from its starting materials.

This

process begins with cultivating

sugar

cane and concludes with the removal of moisture and cooling of the

sugar

. In the first stage,

sugar

canes are grown, and after 12 to 18 months, they are harvested either by hand or by machine. The collected crops are transferred to a specialised piece of equipment where they are crushed into juice. In the following stage, the crushed liquid is transported to a limestone filter; after which it is purified using

this

device. Once the juice is processed, the purified liquid is transported to an evaporator where moisture is removed from the juice through heating, converting it into syrup.

Subsequently

, the syrup is moved to a centrifuge where

sugar

crystals are separated. In the

last

step, the separated crystals are dried and cooled to produce the final product, which is

sugar

.
