Based on cost I would go with the sediment/settling tank. A centrifuge is after all just a sediment/settling tank that works quite a bit faster. I used to have the graphics that demonstrate this concept from when I did the cetrifuge training years ago. Metal settles pretty fast and a centrifuge that can cope with bits of that size would be special.
I was talking to one of the guys rebuilding our centrifuge at work. He was telling me about one he had been involved in working on in a brewery. They left with it working ok but were asked to return due to a problem. When they got back the fuge had decided to have a second childhood. It had morphed into the spinning top I have mentioned. Apparently there was quite a mess. Heard a story about someone from Australia visiting the factory back in Germany. Testing room with massive walls and glass for viewing from out side. Inside a technician was running up a fuge with the hood off and the top clamping part of the rotational section off for some reason. The top plate (disk) lifted off and went flying. Would have pleased the French revolutionaries so I heard. A bit messy inside, and outside the room I would have thought.
We always joke about what we would do if something goes wrong at work. Bit scary standing next to one with the claxon going off and it has just shut itself down because it is out of balance and is trying to jump off it mounts. Which way will it go? Got used to it now. Computer controlled emergency shutdown so there is nothing to do but watch. Sometimes you can hit the Big Red before the computer does. All part of a days work.
