They used a Waring blender to violently disturb the infected bacteria, causing the protein shells to detach from their hosts.  Then, using a centrifuge, they separated the bacterium from the phages and protein.

In the simplest terms a blender blends and a centrifuge separates.  A centrifuge is an apparatus that rotates at high speed and by centrifugal force separates substances of different densities, as milk and cream.
