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. Write at least 150 words.

The diagram illustrates several steps of

sugar

making starting from the pre-production, production, to the post-production stage from

sugar

cane.

First,

in the pre-production stage, the

sugar

canes are planted for about 12 to 18 months until they are ready to be harvested. Later, they can be harvested by using a truck or simply cut by hand. After that, the raw

sugar

canes are put into a machine to be crushed to produce juice.

Next,

it is purified through a limestone filter and is evaporated in order to make it into

syrup

.

Subsequently

, the

syrup

will enter the evaporation process where it is heated with a high heat to let the water evaporate leaving only the pure

syrup

. After the evaporation process, it is put into a centrifuge to separate

sugar

crystals from

syrup

.

Lastly

, the

sugar

crystals are dried and cooled to form the end product,

sugar

.

To sum up

, in order to manufacture

sugar

, it takes several complex steps including growing, harvesting, crushing, purifying, evaporating, and separating which are done in both labour and capital-intensive ways.
