The process for manufacturing sugar crystals from sugar beets is indicated in the chart. Overall, the process contains nine steps, beginning with shipping the beets to a factory, and culminating in producing crystallized sugar.
To begin, the beets are delivered to a factory by trucks and unloaded. After this, the beets are shaken in order to remove soil or rocks. Following this, they are conveyed to a beet washer, where they are completely cleaned. Next, the beets are cut into small pieces before being added to containers of water. Here, the water is heated to 70 degrees Celsius, which produces sugar juice.
The process continues when milk of lime is added to the sugar juice to ensure it is free from contaminants. Subsequently, the mixture is filtered, resulting in a completely pure liquid. It is then heated repeatedly so as to evaporate the water before being piped to a centrifuge. The utilization of centrifugal force produces sugar crystals that are ready to be packaged and transported for consumption by the general public.
