The chart shows the steps involved in producing sugar from sugarcane. Overall, there are a total of seven relatively simple stages in this process, and they are carried out in two locations: the field and the factory.
Growing sugarcanes takes from 12 to 18 months. After this period, they are harvested. There are two ways of harvesting: by hand and using special tractors. On the next stage, sugar canes are taken to the factory.
The first step in the factory is extracting juice from sugarcanes by crushing them in a special mill. The juice is then purified with the help of limestone filter. The next step is evaporating, where the juice is heated until it becomes syrup. One of the last steps of the process is called centrifuge, in which sugar crystals are separated from the syrup. After drying and cooling, sugar is ready to be consumed.
