centrifuge; centrifuging
[SIHN-truh-fyooj]
A high-speed, rotating apparatus that separates substances of varying densities through centrifugal force. Centrifuging is used in winemaking to remove yeast cells from a wine before it completes the FERMENTATION process. It’s also used instead of other processes (such as FILTERING) to remove particles from wine.
