It passes slowly down the central passageway,turns at the bottom, where its speed is materially slackened,and goes out through a pipe line connected to the side of thetank just below the upper edge. There are several other methods in general use, but in all ofthem the principle of settling, upon which the separation orcleaning depends, is the difference in specific gravity betweenthe juice and the dirt. A high and even temperature should bemaintained by preventing radiation, as lowering the tempera-ture would increase the specific gravity and viscosity of thejuice without increasing that of the dirt in equal
