A method for centrifugally dehydrating a workpiece with a substantially rectangular plane, comprising steps of:
- holding said workpiece on one diagonal line of the substantially rectangular plane of said workpiece;
- and
- rotating said workpiece substantially in a state where the diagonal line is substantially aligned with an axis of rotation, thereby removing a liquid adhered to said workpiece.
An apparatus for centrifugally dehydrating a workpiece with a substantially rectangular plane, comprising:
- a pair of holders for respectively holding a pair of corner portions of said work piece on a diagonal line of the substantially rectangular plane of said workpiece;
- and
- a rotator for rotating said pair of holders together with said workpiece,
- wherein said workpiece is rotated while being held by said pair of holders such that the diagonal line of said workpiece is substantially aligned with an axis of rotation, thereby removing a liquid adhered to said workpiece.
