Next, the resulting slurry is poured into the separator compartment, in which the pulp is disconnected from nectar. Devices of this type have several speeds for grinding components of greater and lesser rigidity. The advantage of centrifugal devices is that the juice obtained through their use is transparent and does not contain pulp.
