Centrifugal Juicer
The Centrifugal juicer is the most common and oldest juicer designs. It
is usually the most affordable juicer and is great for someone just
starting out.
The Centrifugal juicer spins at high speeds and through
the action of the shredder disc separates the juice from the pulp and
pushes the juice out through the strainer basket into your glass
container.
This type of juicer is good at juicing most fruits and vegetables
(carrots, beets, cucumber, and celery, as well as fruits apples,
pineapple, mango, and pears).
The centrifugal juicer is not
the best choice for efficiently extracting juice from wheatgrass, leafy
greens,
or herbs.
Some of the models do have an attachment (sold separately) for juicing
citrus fruits; lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines, without having to
peel them. The Omega
1000 and the Omega
9000 are good examples.
The centrifugal juicer is usually quick to assemble and disassemble and
with fewer parts compared to the masticating or twin gear juicer types.
The higher quality centrifugal juicer parts are dishwasher safe,
another advantage for people with a busy lifestyle. Check
with manufacturers instructions on cleaning.

Masticating Juicer
The masticating
juicer or
single gear juicer extracts juice from vegetables and
fruits
through the efficient action of a single auger. The augur breaks down
the walls
of the plant cells through a grinding motion then squeezes the juice by
crushing the produce against a screen.
Due to their lower speeds
(80 -100 rpms),
the single gear juicer operates quietly, limits oxidation and foam, and
releases the nutrients and phyto-chemicals that are so important to
healthy
diet.
The single gear masticating
juicer
has a longer operating life than the
centrifugal juicer due to its relatively slow speed; it creates larger
amounts
of juice from the same quantity of produce, and produces a healthier
product
then the higher-rpm juicers.
Finally, a
single-gear masticating
juicer is able to extract juice from hard-to-juice
produce such as wheat grass, lettuce, spinach, parsley, and herbs.
|
- Mid range price ranging from $170 - $360
- Low-speed juicer ( 80 -120 RPMs) compared to
centrifugal
juicers. So there is less foam and heat. Less oxidation. More
nutrition. Longer shelf
life.
- Can juice fruits & vegetables as well as
your
wheatgrass & leafy greens, pine needles, &
herbs.
- More versatile as many can homogenize food and make
baby foods, pates, sauces, nut butters, ice creams and sorbets. Some
even have attachments to make pasta, bread sticks and rice cakes.
- Quieter than your centrifugal juicer.

Twin Gear Juicer
The twin
gear juicer or
sometimes called a triturating juicer use two augers or gears to
extract the
juice from fruits and vegetables. This juicer triturates (crushes,
grinds, and pounds) the produce between two interlocking augers that
release more phyto-chemicals, nutrients, and enzymes.
The
twin gear juicer operates
at low rpms (80 -110) and, along with their twin gears, it's the most
efficient juicer available. The Twin gear juicer is capable of quietly
extracting more juice from fruits, vegetables, wheat grass, spinach,
and herbs than other type of juicer. The pulp produced by a twin gear
juicer is the driest of all.
The twin
gear juicer can
also make baby food, nut butters, fruit sorbets, and have the
capability, with the included attachments, to make pasta, bread sticks,
and rice cakes.

Citrus
Juicer
Citrus juicers
have
the
ability to make fresh juice from oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines,
and grapefruit. Citrus juicers can
either be powered manually or electrically.
Manual citrus juicers
remove the citrus juice in two ways. The first uses leverage to squeeze
the citrus between two handles, which forces the juice from the fruit.
The second type uses a hard press or reamer to squish the
fruit
into a mesh filter separating the juice from the pulp.
Electric juicers
separate the juice quickly and efficiently from the fruit using the
simple steps of the manual citrus juicer (as above) or in the manner of
the more complex centrifugal ejection, single gear or twin gear
vegetable
juicer.
|
- Dedicated citrus juicers designed for juicing citrus
fruits.
- Available in both manual as a citrus press or
electric.
- The Manual citrus press juicer is relatively simple
in design,
and is easy to clean.
- The electric citrus juicers are more efficient and
quicker at juicing your citrus and less messy to use.
