Central sugar beet factory

A central sugar beet factory processes harvested sugar beets to produce refined sugar. The beets are delivered to the factory, where they are washed, sliced, and crushed to extract the juice. The juice is then purified to remove impurities and heated to concentrate it. Crystallization occurs as the sugar forms solid crystals, which are separated from the remaining liquid (molasses). The crystals are dried and packaged as sweetened sugar, while the molasses is processed further or used for other products. The factory operates efficiently to convert raw beets into a key ingredient used worldwide in food and beverages.
