Features of work

The principle of operation of screw juicers is similar to the principle of operation of the meat grinder. Through the neck products go inside. There, with the help of a rotating shaft - auger, the products are crushed and juice is squeezed out of them. Under pressure of the screw several times the crushed products pass through the filter. Then the resulting drink enters the co-receiver, and the remains are discharged through a special opening.

Kinds

Manual - essentially like a meat grinder.Sometimes the meat grinder and juicer can be combined in one device by adding special attachments. Ideal when there is no connection to the mains.

Electric The devices are equipped with a motor with which the chopper for food rotates. The cake in this case is displayed in one hole, and the juice - in another. Choosing this device will save you time and energy.

Horizontal looks like an ordinary meat grinder. Slightly different from her body and the pitch of the rotating shaft. Products are first crushed, then pushed forward. Passing through the filter, the juice flows into one hole, the cake is displayed in another. The disadvantage of these types of juicers is the need to constantly push fruits and vegetables with a pusher. From tender products with the help of such a device, it will be more likely to make a gruel than a juice.

Vertical It has a vertical body and is suitable for working with tender berries, fruits and vegetables, as it squeezes the juice very delicately. Such devices, as a rule, come with a wide neck, which eliminates the need to finely cut products before pressing.

Single screw models have respectively one screw.It has a lower productivity compared with the twin-screw model. But the device has rather compact dimensions and relatively low cost.

Squeeze juice in twin screw The instrument is driven by two rotating augers. This device allows you to get 95% of fresh juice. Juicer is very popular, because with its help you can get a drink from a large number of fruits, vegetables, berries, plants. However, such a device has a fairly high price.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of screw juicers are:

  1. Auger juicers can be used to make juice from products with small stones. Not all devices cope with this task.
  2. When using high-speed juicers, bubbles form with the air, which leads to oxidation of the beverage. In screw devices, this is excluded, as is the heating of the product.
  3. High practicality of the device. The output of the drink is up to 95% in this production.
  4. Less consumption of electricity, as it is low-revving machines.
  5. Silent operation of the device. Especially true if you need to produce a large amount of juice at a time. If squeezed will be too noisy, it will lead to quick fatigue.
  6. High wear resistance of the device is provided by the slow operation of the screw shaft, which does not overload the engine.
  7. With the help of additional nozzles, you can make not only juice, but also sauce, cocktail, mashed potatoes.
  8. Simple instrument cleaning. Most models are cleaned by filling the juicer with tap water and turning on the device.

Everything has its pros and cons. The main disadvantage of devices of this type is the high price. The second disadvantage is that many models have a narrow neck. This circumstance requires pre-grinding of fruits and vegetables.

Materials

Aluminum is considered not the best material for juicers, because it is poisonous.

Perhaps the best material for a juicer is cast iron and steel. They are environmentally friendly materials and are highly wear resistant.

Currently, for the production of juicers often use high-strength plastic, which is also a good option.

Tips for choosing

  1. If you are a smoothie lover, then a horizontal type juicer will suit you best;
  2. If you are the owner of a small-sized kitchen and you need a compact handy juicer, you may want to look at vertical models.
  3. If you need a multifunctional juicer, take a look at twin-screw models.
