名詞

centrifugal (plural centrifugals)

1. A rotating machine used to separate massecuite into sugar crystals and molasses.
   • 1993, James C. P. Chen, Chung Chi Chou, Cane Sugar Handbook:

     Where the sequencing of the centrifugals is accomplished by the triggering of a function in the process cycle, a buffer zone (nonproductive time) has to be inserted in the cycle time prior to this action.

     Modern practice favours warming the massecuite in pug mills, placed above the centrifugals.
