Types of Juicers
Different types of juicers
are required to produce different types
of juices. While a fruit juicer, for example,
is most efficient at extracting juice
from soft fruits like oranges and lemons,
it lacks the power needed to extract juice
from the tougher cell walls found in vegetables
and wheat grass. And by the same token
juicers that can juice hardier foodstuffs
simply make a mess of fruit and produce
an inefficient juice-yield.
· Centrifugal: A spinning
bowl extracts juice while the pulp is
forced against the sides; pulp-ejecting
models are slanted so that the pulp slides
to the ejection chute.
· Masticating: The materials
are “chewed”, then squeezed for their
juices; this slower, quieter juicer works
well on vegetables and adds less air to
the juice.
· Twin Gear Juicer: A
pair of interlocking, rotating gears shred
whatever comes between them; the best
choice for vegetables & wheat grass,
but it’s hard to clean.
· Citrus/Grapefruit Juicer:
They’re perfect for soft fruits and useless
for everything else.
· Manual Citrus Fruit
Juicer: This hand juicer works like a
press, and works quite well.
· Wheat Grass Juicer:
These squeeze and press like a ringer;
electric models are notably slow and a
bit more expensive than other types of
electric juicers.
