Beet Preparation washing and slicing - The beets are carried into the factory in a water flume. Rocks and weeds are removed prior to the beets being washed. The roots of the washed beets are then sliced into thin noodle-like strips called cossettes, which are sent to the extraction system.

Sugar Extraction diffusion - The cossetes are soaked with hot water to remove the sugar syrup. The syrup is then heated, and exposed to lime and carbon dioxide to remove remaining impurities.

Sugar refinery (purification & crystallization& drying) - the purified juice is filtered, concentrated through evaporation, crystallized, and dried. It is then stored in silos until packaged for shipping.
