Writing Task 1: The manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane

The diagram below shows the manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane.

The diagram below shows the manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane.

The diagram illustrates how sugar is manufactured from sugar cane. Overall, the sugar production requires four main stages including farming, extracting, processing and drying. 

 

Looking at the farming and extracting stages, it starts by planting sugar canes and growing them in 12 to 18 months. Then, they are harvested either by agricultural vehicles or by hand. At the third stage, sugar canes are passed into a crusher machine and juice is extracted. Next, the juice is introduced into a limestone filler to eliminate bad substances and become pure juice. 

 

Turning to the other stages, the pure juice is boiled at high temperature in an evaporator to remove water and condenses into syrup. In the next stage, the syrup is poured into a centrifuge and spun at high speed to detach sugar crystals from it. At the final stage, the crystals are dried and cooled in a large container to produce finished sugar.

Sample Answer 2

The picture diagram illustrates the phases involved in producing sugar from sugar cane plants.

Generally speaking, sugar production involves seven main stages that start with growing the sugar cane on farms and culminates in drying and cooling the crystal syrup to form sugar which is ready to be consumed.

As the process diagram suggests, in the first step, the sugar cane plants are harvested from the farmland when they are about a year to eighteen months old. The harvesting of sugar cane plants is done either manually or with the help of agricultural machinery. After that, the sugar cane stalks are crushed in a grinder, resulting in the formation of sugar cane juice. Afterwards, this juice is purified with the use of a limestone filter. Subsequently, the juice is heated in an evaporator device. During this step, the vaporization of water creates the syrup, which is then poured into a centrifuge machine where it separates sugar crystals from the syrup. In the final stage, the created crystals are dried and cooled to manufacture the final product- which is sugar.
