Juicer Machines
Perhaps, the biggest benefit of owning a juicer machine is that, the users are assured of having juice, in which, all the vital nutrients are very much there. This is not the case when buying readymade juice in a store, for it does not include most of the nutrients. Another major advantage of a juicer machine is attributable to the fact that, plenty of antioxidants are released during the process of juice extraction. In fact, this is a direct result of the chewing up of fibers, by the juicer. The following are the three main kinds of juicer machines currently available in the marketplace: (10)
- Triturating juicer machine: The triturating juicer machine completes the process of juice extraction in two levels. In the first level, the vegetables and fruits are crushed and in the second one, the juice is actually extracted. This juicer, which has a RPM lesser than many of the other machines, ensures that the vital nutrients are not eliminated from the foods. This pattern is also termed as twin-gear juicer machine, and it denotes as being an excellent choice when the food items in question are root vegetables, leafy greens and sprouts, etc. (1)
- Centrifugal juicer machine: The first step in the functioning of a centrifugal juicer machine involves grinding of food stuffs, and this is succeeded by extraction of juice at a brisk RPM. In fact, this variety is rated as being the one having the highest RPM, when all the three kinds of machines are compared. However, it has been seen that the quantity of juice produced by this machine is on the lower side. Here, it has to be stated that a major chunk of juicers presently sold in the markets belong to this very category. (1)
- Masticating juicer machine: This juicer machine has only one gear. This juicer, by means of a rotating movement, chews the food items for extracting juice of good quality. As a matter of fact, owing to the slow RPM, the juicer machine gives a juice that is rich in all the essential nutrients. (1)
Apart from the above-mentioned three categories, juicer machines can be classified also in the ensuing manner:
- Orange juicers: Juicing of an orange is the simplest form of having quality juice that is homemade. Orange juicing machines are available in two types: manual juicers and, electric juicers with a higher price tag. If the quantity of juice to be extracted per day is on the higher side, then electric ones are most convenient. On the other hand, if only two or three fruits are processed daily, the manual juicer would be enough. In fact, the orange juicer is also called as the citrus juicer, and it can be used even for extracting juice of pomegranate.
(2) & (3)
- Sugarcane juicers: Presently, there are varying types of sugarcane juicers, and consumers are free to choose the one that is best for their given requirements. There are juicers with the capacity of carrying out processing of more than 170 canes in sixty minutes. Also, there are patterns with much lesser capacity, and which are ideal to be used in homes. Obviously, the prices range from about $200 to $3000, depending on the number of canes that can be processed in a specific timeframe. (4)
- Lemon juicer machine: Lemon juicers come in three varieties. The first type has a press design where, half lemon is put into the juicer and squeezed till the entire juice is extracted. The second pattern of juicer has a reamer, on which half piece of lemon is put and is then pressed hard in the downward direction till the extraction is completed. And the third category is the electric lemon juicer, which is of fairly recent origin. Even this has a reamer that turns by means of an electric motor, and half piece of lemon has to be just kept on it. Obviously, here the users do not experience any sort of strain on the hands and fingers. (5)
Push design lemon juicer
- Apple juicer machine: The most effective way of extracting juice from an apple is by using a steam juicer. In fact, there are now plenty of outlets where this juicer is available. Before extracting, this juicer first heats the fruit, and then directs the juice towards a reservoir, from where the entire quantity can be collected. Even electric juicers can be used for the purpose, but here it is necessary that the apple is cut into small pieces, prior to putting in into the juicer. (6)
