What is useful twin screw juicer
Auger juicer, unlike conventional (centrifugal), does not squeeze, but grinds the product. Such devices are electric and tame. The screw shaft in both types is fixed either horizontally or vertically. Have vertical models always one auger as well horizontal can be either single screw or twin screw juicer.
Content
Device
Two cylindrical augers with spiral grooves, located with a gap of 0.1 mm, crush the products at a speed of about 110 rpm, turning them into a slurry. With the continuous rotation of the augers, the pressure rises, the furrows become less deep (for more details on the scheme of action -device and principle of operation of a modern juicer).
Much juice is produced from gruel, because the screws destroy the cell membranes of green products.Dry cake is sent to waste, and the juice is discharged into an appropriate container.
Functions
Twin-screw juicers are able to process with the cold press-spin method practically everything, including:
- wheat germ;
- carrot;
- beetroot;
- radish;
- cabbage;
- potatoes;
- green pine needles, leaves, any herbs;
- ginger;
- celery;
- Garnet;
- grapes
In addition, the twin screw twin shaft squeezer performs the functions of a universal combine:
- mixes desserts;
- makes pasta and noodles;
- produces infant formula and cereals;
- finely grinds nuts, spices, cereals;
- prepares tofu and soy milk;
- forms candy;
- produces fruit ice and ice cream;
- makes dough.
Models
The Russian consumer knows several models of the device.
Angel
Most often in online stores you can buy horizontal electric juicers company Angel. They are voluminous and weigh up to 12 kg. Their metal elements are durable, but long-term interaction with the metal affects the taste of the juice. The cake comes out dry, and the juice is thick, with an abundance of pulp. Have Angel Juicers record time of continuous work (up to 60 minutes), which will allow to use them in herbal bars and restaurants for preparing large volumes of juice.
Angel models are the most expensive of the widely known.
Prices for Angel Juicer Angelia range from 103 to 158 thousand rubles, depending on the model.
Green Power Fito Juice Extractor
Electric cold press juicer Green Power Kempo from the USA, known in Russia as Green Power Fito Juice Extractor, is smaller and lighter than the previous specimen.
Its augers are cast from medical steel, covered with bioceramics, and calculated for 12 years operation. Into the core of each screw are inserted neodymium magnets rotated by opposite poles (system Clean Gear). The rotation of the screws causes the magnets to produce active ions that preserve enzymes, vitamins and trace elements and remove up to 90% of chemicals and heavy metals contained in vegetables and fruits. This juice does not oxidize and is stored for 2 to 3 days.
During operation, the Green power Kempo augers do not touch each other, so that there is no excessive pressure on the mesh. Through it, according to the cylindrical principle, the juice is separated, extracted at a speed of 160 rpm due to the pressure between the screws.
Unlike conical models, Green Power Fito Juice does not require cleaning in the middle of the process.
The device can continuously work up to half an hour, and during this period more 3 liters of juice. He has a large capacity for liquid and cake. Suitable for both soft and for solid vegetables and fruits.
The noise level of Green power Kempo does not exceed 60 dB, and the warranty is 10 years. The design of this juicer is represented by the following elements:
- Bowl spout for juice (removes foam).
- Loading chute cover (protects against dust).
- Rewind button (facilitates washing the device and eliminates the issue of overload).
- Two pestle pusher (made of wood and plastic with a special limiter).
The price of products of this company is lower than the previous one. For example, Green power Kempo KP-E1304 can be bought for 39,330 p.
Green star elite
The most environmentally safe brand of twin screw juicers is Green Star Elite. It is produced by the American firm Tribest Life, which has established itself as a manufacturer of cheese products. Green Star Elite 1000 can be bought for 40 710 p., And Green Star Elite 3000 for 42 090 p.
Green Star Elite juice squeezing speed is not high, but the efficiency is impressive. The remaining herbal cake is so dry that it smokes when ignited. With all this it is worth remembering that this juicer is not intended for berries and fruits with stones (grapes, currants or gooseberries). In addition, for American models, a voltage of 110 W is required and they have another plug.
The most inexpensive solution is a manual juicer. Its augers are not spiral-shaped, but in the form of a cone. Prices for the device start at 12,730 p.
Advantages and disadvantages
AT centrifugal juicers due to the high speed (from 9000 to 37000 rpm), the juice is heated, and due to the interaction with metal surfaces and air - is oxidized. This is not the case with screw juicers. They have other positive points:
- The volume of liquid produced from juicy fruits and vegetables will be 85-95%, which is 10-50% more than that of centrifugal.
- Attached brush for cleaning, scraper, and at horizontal - a lot of nozzles, sometimes even for the manufacture of mashed potatoes.
- Easier to wash than centrifugal models.
The efficiency of extracting juice from soft and fibrous products in horizontal juicers is lower than in vertical ones. The loading throat of the first devices is narrower than the latter. Hence, a smaller cut is required.
Each customer has the opportunity to independently choose the optimal device for him, depending on what is most important for him: low price, high speed, long non-stop operation time, low weight, environmental safety, stylish design, etc.
