Manual Juicer

Eating fresh juices is delicious and very useful! There is a wide selection of both electric and manual juicers. To choose a model for your kitchen, it is worth figuring out which fruits you plan to process into juice and in what quantities.

Electric models are good because they produce a large amount of juice in a short period of time, but they are bulky, plug into the network and, in most cases, are affected by acid from berries, vegetables and fruits. Another unpleasant moment is that the product heats up a little when grinding, losing some of the nutrients. And many users complain that many droplets of juice fly away from the electric juicers in the process of work and have to spend time wiping the surfaces on which they fell.

The mechanical juicer will become your indispensable helper in home cooking, it uses cold extraction, which saves a maximum of vitamins. It is easy to take with you on a trip, if you can not imagine your day without fresh.

Non-electrical products have several advantages:

• very compact;
• easy to use;
• easy to disassemble and wash;
• do not create excess noise;
• do not heat up during spinning;
• have a long service life;
• does not require a source of electricity, that is, are autonomous;
• mobile.

Also, due to the lack of an electric drive, mechanical models are much cheaper.

According to the principle of operation, these types of juicers are distinguished:

• for citrus;
• press;
• auger.

The first type is the simplest. It consists of a cone-shaped filter nozzle and a juice bowl. It is enough to cut the fruit, press the half to the cone and slightly scroll. For a glass of drink you need two medium fruit. Convenient in everyday use, simple design, does not take up much space.

Suitable for obtaining juice from oranges, lemons or limes.

The mechanical model of press spin has a lever that is fixed on the frame. Half of the fruit is placed between two cones. With the help of a lever, the press is activated and begins to squeeze the fruit, the juice enters the bowl through the holes in the lower cone.You get the juice without much effort.

• good option for citrus and pomegranates. With its help, a useful pomegranate juice without a bitter taste is obtained, because with such a spin the partitions between the cores are not damaged.

Another type of press juice extractor consists of two plates, between which fruit slices are placed. The mechanism is set in motion by turning the screw. Through the holes in the bottom plate, the juice enters a special tank. This modification allows you to process more fruits in the same time, and is suitable not only for citruses, but also for apples, berries, tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits.

A prominent representative of the citrus juicer press (tangerines, lemons, oranges, limes, grapefruits) is a product of the brand Leopold. Such products are made in Germany. These presses are distinguished by excellent design and high-quality assembly.

This is facilitated by a special coating of the case, which is not afraid of caustic fruit acids, rubberized grip, which makes the grip of the hand tight, and a stable base with rubber inserts.

Such a juicer on the principle of operation is similar to a meat grinder. The pulp in it is ground with the help of a rotating auger, the liquid is separated by a mesh and flows into the bowl, and the cake comes out through another hole and is collected in a container. The thickness of the juice is adjusted manually. Copes with any kinds of fruits and berries.

Auger juice extractor is particularly popular due to the fact that with its help it turns out very good juice from fruits of red color and not only, as well as tomatoes. Using other types of juicers produces a less suitable consistency.

With great advantages, mechanical juicers have some disadvantages. It is worth noting that obtaining juice will require you to use physical force. If you are using a model with a lever, then you need to make an effort to press the lever, especially when choosing a grenade.

When choosing an inexpensive press models a high probability that the material will be fragile. They will need to be applied with extreme caution.For ripe citruses, this option will be suitable, but the product may break from harder products.

Some users in reviews say that using auger model is very tedious if you have more than one kilogram of tomatoes. Imagine how many times you need to turn the handle to recycle all this raw material?

Regardless of the type of adaptation, the selection criteria are common for everyone:

• The material must be durable, better if it is cast iron or stainless steel.
• Pay attention to the grid: its cells should be as small as possible. The size of the holes depends on the amount of pulp.
• The disassembly process should not be too complicated. The easier the device is to disassemble and wash, the more often it will be used in everyday life.
• If space has already been allocated for a future purchase, then the dimensions will be significant.

When buying a mechanical juicer it should be borne in mind that the material from which it is made should be good, because the weak will not stand the pressure on the product. The product must also have good stability. All units of the unit must be of high quality.

The work system, lath or lever, is also taken into account, each of which has sufficient convenience. But the first one is more common, as it is necessary to press it more smoothly, but it takes a few turns of the handle. The lever handle is simply pressed down from the top, and it lowers, while the force is applied rather seriously.
