I just use a bucket of etoh and throw it in the next batch I’m winterizing
Only takes a day or 2 to get clean from soaking
The centrifuge would be an immediate clean.
My method was to just disconnect them with a bucket beneath, drain them, deal with the inevitable spill.
I always intended to find some sort of appropriately rated quick disconnect with shutoff functionality, and put it inline. Or a set of mini ball valves. Never got around to it though.

Centrifuge?
We do use our CUP-30 to wash our dirty socks….
The device shown above is an enclosed buchner/filtration unit. I added “jets” using 3/8 pex (works with 1/2” swagelok fittings), a spray ball, and a recirculation pump.

Have you tried the siphon method?
Jokes aside, you can set up a drain valve in the future if the equipment doesn’t already have one.

Thank you all for the input, it actually went very smooth. First I drained the bath, then I did the return line 1st, then I disconnected the other hose. I did all the hoses on a step ladder so I could hold them up if I needed to.
At first the jacket didn’t want to drain and I did get it to siphon out by jerkin the empty return line. @Ganjineer710
A lot more Gatorade in there than I expected glad I went to the bucket store.
