At the mill, the cane is washed to remove loose dirt and cut into small pieces to facilitate extraction of juice. The pieces are passed through a series of mills that extract the juice from the stalks. After the first milling, a small amount of water is added to facilitate the following extraction of the juice. The solid residue, called bagasse, is often recycled as fuel.
The cane juice (guarapo, "vesou" in French), green color, is filtered to remove debris cane and then clarified to remove suspended solids. Then it is heated and passed to evaporator to remove excess water.
