Description
Separates solids from liquids by centrifugal force.
Technical
High-speed rotation creates a gradient where denser particles migrate outward. This separates solids from liquids by density. The clarified liquid is extracted from the center.
Culinary Significance
Produces crystal-clear juices and stocks by removing solids. This enhances flavor concentration and visual presentation.
