The centrifugal force separates the heavier phase (material) and forces it towards the periphery. The feed material is poured into the rotating basket (bowl). The first material discharged will be the purified light phase. After this the heavier phase (if liquid) can be drained in the same fashion by continuing the rotation of the tube. After a couple of minutes a pitot type discharge tube is manually rotated into the spinning liquid which thereby is drained from the bowl. Alternatively, with more viscous materials and solids, the machine is stopped and the bowl quickly removed for cleaning.
