The power of a centrifuge is seen in dryness of the cake. A more powerful centrifuge will give a harder dry cake against the wall. A soft, soupy cake is found in lower power centrifuge.

Hi Steve,

The centrifuge seems to work great, pulling crud from WVO that has already been filtered to 5 micron, nice!
