It also produces a good yield from the item being crushed. The Juicer produces good quality juice, which is often pulp free.

Some models allow for continuous juicing so fruit and vegetables can be continually added to the machine without shutting down to remove pulp from holding compartments or containers. The higher RPM's of the centrifugal Juicers causes more heat and more oxidation (foaming action) to the food being crushed, which decreases the nutrients in the food. The typical horsepower (HP) will range from 1/4 to 3/4 HP, providing from 3,600 to over 20,000 revolutions per minute (RPM's). Molded into the circular shape is a food chute that may be crescent or rectangular shaped. The centrifugal juicers are built of stainless steel or plastic with round containers placed over a rotating motor that drives the rotating blade.

Typically, automatic juice extractors are categorized into centrifugal juicers or masticating juicers. There are a wide variety of automatic Juicers, also known as Juicing Machines, with numerous features to consider.

#THE JUICE SQUEEZER MANUAL#

Hand or manual Juicers may also be made that look like a potato ricer with a holding container into which the half of a fruit or a whole tomato is placed and then a top plate attached to a lever is pressed down into the container that has a companion lever so the two levers are brought together as the fruit is squeezed and the juice flows out small holes around the bottom and sides of the container.

The lever is pulled down so the press meets the fruit in the container, crushing it to extract the juice so it falls into a glass or some type of container below. A hand lever mechanism with a cone shaped 'hat-like' press or a flat surfaced press is positioned at the top of this utensil. In addition to the small manual Juicers there is a larger vertical juicing press that has a holding container midway up the main structure of this device into which the fruit is placed. Some larger manually operated Juicers revolve the fruit or vegetable as the pulp is crushed while the liquid flows to a bowl or holding platter below. The manual Juicers known as hand juicing presses, are typically built with a solid ribbed cone or cup that presses down on half of an orange, lime, lemon, tomato or other similar food to extract the juice. Juicing Funnels or Trumpets as they are also known, are inserted into the whole fruit and then a gentle squeeze on the fruit is required to begin the flow of the juice. The Juicer Squeezers which function as a juice press, use a procedure to either press against the flesh of half the fruit to extract the juice or press against the rind to turn the rind and flesh inside out for extracting. Other varieties of hand-held utensils include Juicing Squeezers or Presses, Juicing Funnels, or Bowl Juicers. Each serves to accomplish the task of breaking apart the flesh and providing juice. There are several different shapes to the head that are produced ranging from stout and round to narrow and more pointed. The simplest Juicers consist of Juicer Reamers made of wood or metal that have cone-shaped heads with gear-like protrusions built to be pressed against the meat of a fruit half in order to extract the juice. There are a wide variety of products made for this purpose that range from simple hand tools to automated and electic models that juice a larger quantity of fruits and vegetables. A kitchen tool that extracts juice from citrus fruits and vegetables by shredding the flesh of the food item.
