Abstract
A centrifuge for separating food and beverage products can include a base and an outer housing connected to the top end of the base. The outer housing can include an outlet through which liquid may be dispensed. A rotor may be positioned within the outer housing and can include an annular rotor wall an opened top end, and a closed bottom end defining a lower end of the annular rotor wall. A motor can be operably connected to the rotor and configured to rotate the rotor about an axis of rotation at oscillating rotational speeds. The annular rotor wall can extend upward and radially outward with respect to the axis of rotation from the lower end of the annular rotor wall. The annular rotor wall can extend downward and radially outward with respect to the axis of rotation from the upper end of the annular rotor wall.
