What is good professional juicer

Household appliance manufacturers offer various types and models of juicers: electric, manual,for hard fruits and vegetables, for soft vegetables and berries, universal, for home usefor production purposes. Which is more practical: electrical or mechanical? Which models are considered the best? What requirements must meet the juicer, called professional?

Characteristics and properties

Professional juicers are considered to be distinguished by high power, performance, and reliability. They are applied everywhere, where it is required to produce juice in large quantities: in children's institutions, hospitals, in public catering points.

Professional juicers have:

• durable metal, often steel case;
• powerful engine;
• a large set of knives and blades;
• large volume juice collector.

Properties of devices:

1. All components are made of durable materials that can withstand a large production load.
2. Disassembled parts of the apparatus - easy to clean.
3. There is a motor blocking mechanism that automatically triggers when the motor overheats or when the cover is opened.

Types of professional juicers

From the point of view of the principle of operation of the mechanism, there are 3 types: centrifugal, for citrus and auger.

Centrifugal - These are traditional, all well-known aggregates, in which the raw materials are first crushed into a mush. Then, when the centrifuge is rotated at high speed, the juice is separated from the oilcake.

Advantages:

• high speed;
• low price - accessibility for everyone;
• ease of use.

Disadvantages:

• in the process of cooking, the juice loses its beneficial properties due to heating and is oxidized upon contact with air;
• short shelf life;
• As a result of not quite high-quality pressing, there is a high consumption of products.

Citrus Juicers - These are devices in which whole oranges or grapefruits are poured.Citrus fruits are automatically cut in half, and each half falls under the pressure of a spherical press.

Advantages:

• high speed;
• silent work.

Disadvantages:

• can produce only citrus juice;
• in the finished juice may contain pulp.

Screw juicers - Samples of the new type, working on the principle of the grinder. The fruits are ground, and then under pressure from the press, the juice is squeezed through a fine sieve.

Advantages:

1. Versatility. The raw materials are any fruits and vegetables: hard and soft, and even such problematic ones as grenades, tomatoescitrus fruits This is the primary difference from the centrifugal juicer.
2. High quality products. Thanks to the cold-pressed technology, useful properties are preserved.
3. Effective spin, high yield - up to 85%.
4. Convenience in operation.
5. Simple care of the unit.
6. Silent operation of the mechanism.
7. The high-strength mechanism and the completing elements.

Disadvantages:

1. The resulting juice contains pulp. When processing some soft, over-ripe fruit, mash is obtained instead of juice.
2. High cost - unavailability of the device for many.

How to choose

First of all, the choice should be guided by the following parameters:

1. The volume of production (individually).
2. Power. In professional models, it ranges from 200 to 1500 watts per hour.
3. The volume of the juice collector bowl - the more, the better, although small capacity will be enough for home use.
4. Interval of continuous operation of the unit.

It is necessary to give preference to well-known brands in Russia and purchase equipment from official distributors in order to avoid counterfeiting. Famous manufacturers provide a warranty period for their products and services in their service centers.
