I will start by saying I don't want to buy an old cream separator.
My kids and I have been making Ginger Beer the last couple of years and while we have the juicing, recipe, carbonation all ironed out, we want to clarify the juice right after juicing.
I have a large number of surplus servo motors and drives and am thinking I would like to build a centrifuge to separate the fines. Is anyone aware of a simple centrifuge design that will allow processing of small amounts (< 1 quart) of high viscosity fruit juice?
I have tried filter presses and the like, we waste too much juice and the fines are small enough to pass through even the finest filter press materials I have tried (< 5um).
Thoughts?
