Liquids or ingredients containing natural juices are filtered to clarify them, and separate the liquid from the solid elements. A sauce is strained through a chinois, a cucumber juice through a coffee filter and a consomme through a fine cloth. Or even tomato pulp wrapped in cheese cloth hanging in the cooler over night to get all the juices in the morning.
You substantially reduce the filtration time using a Bushnell funnel with a vacuum pump attached to it. This system also lets you use a finer filter for a clearer finished product. The funnel is ceramic, with holes that lays over a receiving flask. A gasket between the funnel and flask allows the vacuum to pull out all the juice. Of course when the filter clogs it becomes a painful process because the entire apparatus needs to be taken apart and cleaned, but like every else it is all about preventing the problem before it happens.
