The picture details the process of making bottled and canned fizy drinks. Overall, the procudure consists of eleven steps, which can be grouped into five droad stages: beginning with cleaning the water, followed by processing involving heating, mixing and filtering, and culminating in delivering final product to supermarkets. Notably, most stages rely on specialized equipment, with human input required at certain points.
