The manufacturing of sugar is a systematic industrial process that begins with the extraction of juice from shredded sugarcane stalks using high-pressure rollers. This raw juice undergoes clarification, where lime and heat are applied to neutralize acidity and remove impurities through sedimentation. The purified liquid is then concentrated into a thick syrup via multiple-effect evaporation under a vacuum to prevent scorching.

During crystallization, the syrup is seeded with tiny sugar grains to encourage crystal growth, creating a dense mixture called massecuite. Finally, a centrifuge spins the massecuite at high speeds to separate the solid sugar crystals from the liquid molasses, followed by a drying and grading phase to produce the final granulated product.
