Juicer

Juicer is a tool used to extract juice from fruits, herbs, leafy greens and other types of vegetables in a process called juicing. It crushes, grinds, and/or squeezes the juice out of the pulp.

Types

Some types of juicers can also function as a food processor. Most of the twin gear and horizontal masticating juicers have attachments for crushing herbs and spices, extruding pasta, noodles or bread sticks, making baby food and nut butter, grinding coffee, making nut milk, etc.

Centrifugal juicers

Centrifugal juicers are by far the most common and most popular type of home juicer. These machines are easy to use, relatively easy to clean, and quite affordable. They work by using a cutting blade to first chop up the produce and then spin the produce at a very high speed, similar to how a washing machine wrings out the water from wet clothes.

Masticating juicers

Masticating juicers aka slow juicers or cold press juicers, have a single screw-shaped gear that rotates slowly and crushes the fruit against the wall of the juicer while also pushing the juice out of the pulp.

Triturating juicers

Triturating juicers aka twin gear juicers or double auger juicers, have two gears that rotate inwards with very tiny clearance between the gears. The produce is crushed and ground into pulp and juice is squeezed out.

Juicing press

Juicing press, such as a fruit press or wine press, is a larger scale press that is used by wineries, cider mills and fruit juice companies.

Steam juice extractor

Steam juice extractor is a household or industrial appliance that heats the fruit, causing the juice to be extracted by the heat and then collected.
