Centrifugal Juicer: overview of the features, the best model

Operating principle

The fruits are loaded into the hopper through the separator tank opening. To push the fruit using a pusher. Pulley transmits the rotation from the motor to the basket. The centrifuge spins at a high frequency and generates a centrifugal force. Fruits are breaking on the trowel blades, dispenser is pressed against the walls of the basket, squeezed liquid flows through the overflow opening in the outer container. Depending on the design cake is expelled automatically or manually removed.

Pros rotor models

According to the majority of fans of a healthy diet, rotary screw machines are inferior counterparts in many respects. However, they have the advantage that in some cases outweigh the disadvantages. These include:

• relatively low cost;
• high speed processing;
• pure pulp without squeezing;
• a long time work with a minimum of operator;
• the possibility of recycling of solid fruit;
• simplicity and ease of maintenance.

centrifuges cons

But to save the entire vitamin B complex in the starting material, this type of centrifuges is of little use.

In operation, the apparatus is heated and destroys vitamin "C". In the same way the product acts on the high rotational speed, which destroys the vitamin and mineral components.

But the list of shortcomings is not exhaustive:

• contact with air during processing leads to excess foam, which is necessary to eliminate penootsekatel either manually extract;
• this factor also leads to rapid oxidation product;
• Juice is not stored for a long time, after the first 10 - 20 minutes, he loses not only useful properties, but the quality and taste;
• not all units have a high extraction efficiency, especially wet cake obtained by the accumulation in the basket;
• at maximum speed and at full load centrifuge dangerous to vibrate and can lose stability;
• lack of ability to process soft foods;
• anxiety can deliver noisiness unit posed rotating elements during rapid rotation.

design Features

Despite belonging to the same species juicers from different manufacturers and models may be different structural nuances. In addition to appearance, they differ:

• Engine power
• housing material
• Centrifuge form
• the presence of additional options.

Engine power

This characteristic determines the speed of processing of fruits and productivity. Most domestic models have a capacity of no more than 500 watts. Such units capable of issuing several liters, can be used to prepare semi-finished products for a small quantity of spins, different low noise level of functioning.

More powerful juicers are semi-professional devices. They surpass domestic analogues in performance. On responses able to generate several tens of liters per hour.

Housing: plastic, aluminum, stainless steel

Cheap devices usually collected in a plastic case.

Despite the shock resistance plastics susceptible to damage by careless use. When interacting with the juice and pulp it can be painted in the appropriate color. Apparatuses with aluminum body firmer, but promote the oxidation product upon contact.

Housing made of stainless steel increases its weight and its value, but lacks the above drawbacks associated with:

• damage to the body,
• loss of color,
• negative influence on the structure and taste of the product.

The form of the separator

The separator is a key element of the centrifugal juicer. On it depends the quality of the extraction and performance of the device. For the reasons mentioned above the preferred material for its manufacture is stainless steel. The product still be oxidized by virtue of the principle of the device, but the stainless steel to reduce this negative effect. The shape of the basket separators are divided into cylindrical and conical.

cylindrical centrifuge

The separator is of cylindrical shape better cope with the wringer, pressing up to 95% liquid. But the cake is placed inside a centrifuge and requires periodic shutdown and cleaning by hand. This complicates the processing of large volumes of frequent interruptions to clean up.

conical basket

The separator of this form is less productive. The percentage of extraction of juice often does not exceed 70, and the wet cake can be recycled again. The advantage of such a separator centrifuge cake ability to remove the outer container through a separate port. This extends the operating time of the device without stopping.

Additional options

Some models can be equipped with additional options that compensate for the shortcomings inherent in the design, improve usability, enhance functionality. Among them are:

• forced reset cake;
• choice of speed;
• system "Stop drop";
• Shredding function.

Reset lever pomace

Commonly used on devices with cylindrical centrifuge. With the accumulation of the cake in the basket can be a series of turns to release the lever from the waste separator. This eliminates the need to interrupt the operation of the device for cleaning, speeds up processing.

Two and three-speed devices

Single speed centrifuge machines are limited to processing of solid fruit. Soft products come in the form of puree. Choice of high-speed mode can partially eliminate this problem.

Stop drop

Protects the table surface from contamination remains of juice and pulp discharged through the drain hole.

During operation and after stopping the unit, the juice does not fall on the table. The presence function reduces cleaning time after the treatment, protects the surface of the white tops of the appearance of spots.

shredding mode

In addition to juicing, some units can shred carrots, cabbage, beets, and other vegetables. They are equipped with additional nozzles, which are installed in a basket instead of float. They can be used to prepare semi salad or vegetable spins.

Popular models

Household juicer, in which the design is based on a centrifuge, is one popular devices with high demand. On the market there are a large number of models, mainly by foreign brands. Among the best of these reviews include:

• Panasonic MJ-DJ01,
• Philips HR 1869
• Bosch MES20A0.

Panasonic MJ-DJ01

It is recommended as a tool of a big family. It has versatile features, the processed products of different densities. Juice of good quality, with a small amount of foam. Among other advantages are noted:

• the ability to boot without pre-cutting;
• the absence of excessive vibration;
• protection against accidental activation;
• prevention system drops.

Panasonic is not without drawbacks, the most obvious of these is:

• the complexity of the service;
• noise;
• wastes from sticking to the cover.

Philips HR 1869

Two-speed apparatus with high power and system stop drop. It refers to household devices with a capacity of 2.5 liters. Other advantages include:

• a drain;
• direct access to the spin results;
• level indicator;
• penootsekatelya presence;
• improved filter for easy maintenance.

Device adapted faultless quality and well-designed, defects in the review are not marked.

bosch MES20A0

High-speed machine, the spin process is very fast. It is capable of processing the fruits of different hardness. The diameter of the hole bunker allows you to download the whole fruit. List of positive characteristics can be extended:

• low noise levels;
• System Stop drop;
• stability;
• easy disassembly and maintenance.

In contrast to the extensive list of disadvantages lack of dignity.

Despite the long list of disadvantages of centrifugal juicers such as fully functional devices that are able to meet the needs of the family in the fresh-squeezed juice. Especially the continuous improvement of technology can compensate for many design flaws.
