Excerpt from The American Sugar Manual, 1870: Circular of the American Cane Machinery

The primitive way Of draining the sugar, after granulation takes place, is to put it into hogsheads, in the bottoms Of which are holes, in which are inserted pieces of cane which reach ~above the contents. As the granulation proceeds a contraction takes place, which leaves an Opening about the canes, by which the molasses draines to the bottom, and the canes being loosely inserted, it flows through the holes into a receptacle below. But the most perfect and approved method Of draining is by means Of the Centrifugals now in common use. The centrifugal is simply a cylindrical screen, revolving at high velocity, and surrounded by an outer case. The molasses is thrown out by centrifugal force, and caught in the outer case and carried Off by a spout.
