Freshly squeezed juice contains just a huge amount of vitamins and, of course, is much more beneficial for the body than purchased. You can make such a drink at home, including from solid vegetables and fruits, using a juicer.
The range of juicers in specialized stores today is quite wide. When buying such a device, you should first pay attention to its power. For solid fruits and vegetables, you should choose a juicer in which this parameter reaches at least 5-8, or even better 10 thousand rpm.
Types of devices
The industry today produces two main types of juicers: designed for citrus fruits and universal. For the manufacture of juice from solid vegetables and fruits, of course, you need to choose a device of the latest variety. The first type of juicer can be used exclusively for processing oranges, tangerines, grapefruits and some other soft fruits.
Universal devices, in turn, are divided into:
- auger;
- centrifugal.
Both of these types of juicers for solid fruits and vegetables fit very well.
Screw models
Such juicers, in turn, are vertical and horizontal. Rotating augers, similar to those used in meat grinders, are responsible for processing vegetables and fruits in them. If desired, for the home, you can purchase both electric and manual models of this type.
The main advantage of the devices of this variety is that the fruits and vegetables in them do not heat when pressed. Thanks to this, using these models it is possible to prepare a real natural juice in which absolutely all useful substances are stored.
Doctors, for example, consider such a product even medicinal. At least, the benefits of such juice for the human body are undeniable.
Also the advantages of devices of this type are:
- silent work;
- the possibility of squeezing juice, including from very hard vegetables and fruits, or even greens;
- high degree of productivity - up to 50 kg of products per hour;
- high yield of the finished product - up to 95%.
Some of the drawbacks of this type of juicers is considered to be the high cost and the need for a fairly small preliminary slicing.
