The bottoms are left so it can keep growing. Sugar Cane can grow up to 20 feet tall. ]]> 2018-10-14 12:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292524766 22etaylor https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292526583 Next the sugar cane is taken to the factory where it is first washed and then cut into shreds. Next the sugar is rolled by dollars, it crushes the cane. Then what is left is sent down to the separator, this is where they separate the fibers and the liquid. The liquid is then sent to the evaporator. ]]> 2018-10-14 12:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292526583 22etaylor https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292527020 The evaporator is heated by the dry sugar cane, this heat is heating the liquid. They do this to thicken the liquid. Boiling it separates the water left on it. Next this mixture is crystalized. The syrup mixture gets a little bit of already made sugar to kick start the process of crystallization. Then it is moved to a centrifuge where all of the remaining liquid is pushed out. ]]> 2018-10-14 12:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292527020 22etaylor https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292528154 These screens are sized to make different kinds of sugar. Turbinado sugar is sugar that was only partially refined. Brown sugar has some liquid, malaise, still in it. Last is granulated sugar, which has no liquid in it, and it is refined.  There are more types of sugar (watch video below)]]> 2018-10-14 13:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292528154 22etaylor https://padlet.com/22etaylor/7467vozt6wz4/wish/292528213 Then we are left with dry sugar crystals. Then they are put through a granulator and several sized screens. Then it is moved to a centrifuge where all of the remaining liquid is pushed out. Then we are left with dry sugar crystals.
