The image illustrates the way in which sugar is made from sugar cane.
Generally, there are seven distinct steps involved in the production of sugar from sugar cane, commencing with growing and culminating with drying and cooling. It is also apparent that human labor as well as complex machinery are required in the manufacturing of sugar.
Looking at the picture in more detail, at the first stage of the process, sugar canes are grown about 12 to 18 months before being harvested either by a combiner machine or humans using a sickle. Having been cultivated, they should go through a process of crushing where sugar canes are crushed by a special machine so as to extract juice.
In the subsequent stage, juice is purified in a limestone filter before sending it to a so-called ‘’evaporator’’ where heat is applied in order to make syrup out of juice. Once juice is evaporated, it is supposed to undergo another process using a centrifuge which helps to separate sugar crystals from syrup. Finally, sugar should be dried and cooled before delivering it to the consumption.
