Synonym of:  Centrifugal cleaner
Context:  As indicated in the diagram, a conventional centrifugal cleaner (CC, centricleaner, forward flow cleaner, free vortex cleaner) is approximately the shape of a narrow cyclone (ie: an inverted cone), with the stock entering at a tangent in the top. A whirlpool-like vortex is formed, so that high density contraries move to the bottom of the cone from where they are rejected. The accepted stock goes to the top of the cone from where it passes upstream.
