Part 2: Centrifugal Juicers – uses a grater or shredder disk to spin out the juice and a strainer basket to hold pulp in the machine. This is the oldest type of juicer available. A newer version of this machine is the Centrifugal Ejection Juicer.
The pulp is ejected out of the machine, usually into a collection bin or basket, instead of holding it in. This design is better because there is no need to stop the juicer and empty it out.
This is the fastest juicer available. This juicer is great for juicing both fruits and vegetables, but it doesn’t do leafy greens or grasses very well.
The main advantage of centrifugal juicers is the speed at which a juicing job can be done, especially when juicing with a wide mouth juicer.
You will probably not have to cut up your produce. Things like apples and cucumbers can be put into the juicer whole. There are several disadvantages to this type of juicer as well. In addition to the fact that Centrifugal juicers cannot juice leafy greens and grasses, they aren’t as efficient as other types of juicers, like masticating juicers.
The pulp generated by a centrifugal juicer is still relatively wet, meaning that some of the juice goes to waste. Single gear juicers and twin gear juicers have much higher yields (drier pulp) than centrifugal juicers.
Another disadvantage is the shelf life of the juice from a centrifugal juicer. As a result, the juice from a centrifugal juicer should be consumed right away and can’t be effectively stored for any length of time without loss of nutritional value. Examples of this type of juicer include Breville Juice Fountain Professional, Omega 1000/4000/9000, L’Equip 110.5/215 XL, and Jack LaLane Power Juicer.
Next post, I will be talking about the Single Gear/Single Auger (Masticating) Juicers.
