- The cane is weighed while still on the lorries and tractors.
- It is off loaded and put in large water tanks when it is washed.
- It is passed through a machine which cuts it into pieces.
- The pieces are then passed between rollers which crash the cane and squeeze out the juice the
juice is put in a clarifier, where the fine matter is suspension and the soluble non-sugars are
precipitated forming a dark coloured mud which is separated from the juice.
- The juice is put into boilers called evaporators where it is boiled with lime under reduced
pressure until it turns into thick syrup.
