INSTRUCTIONS AND PROPHECIES OF THE Blessed MOTHER ALIPIA GOLOSEEVSKY, Kyiv...
A juicer for hard vegetables and fruits is needed in the house, because with its help you can get a large number of different healthy and nutritious drinks. We offer you to get acquainted with this kitchen device in order to correctly and 100% use its rich potential.
Most housewives are sure that juicers for hard vegetables or fruits may be needed only once a year to process excess crops from the dacha. All the rest of the time, this device gathers dust in the pantry, as if it were unnecessary.
This opinion is wrong. Anyone who adheres to it harms their health and the health of their entire family members. Because there is no more useful device than a juicer for hard fruits and vegetables. Its main difference from other models is that it processes whole fruits. To do this, an apple or carrot is lowered into the receiving hole. The fruit enters the grinder, which turns it into a homogeneous mass. Even such seemingly unnecessary parts as bones and peel, everything is recycled.
After grinding, the juicer separates the mixture. The rapid rotation of the centrifuge causes the liquid to separate from the pulp. The high speed pushes the juice out, forcing it to drain into a special container. And the waste remains in the separator.
Manufacturers offer housewives two types of models, in which the separator can be:
- cylindrical;
- conical.
The first type has a higher productivity (the amount of squeezed juice is up to 95% of the fruit weight). The second type is interesting in that, under the action of centrifugal force, the cake moves along the walls of the separator and itself is collected in a waste container. But this technology reduces efficiency - the volume of juice obtained is only 60-70% of the mass of the entire fruit.
Other positive and negative aspects of a juicer for hard vegetables and fruits will be considered further.
Cons and pros of hard fruit juicers
The main disadvantage of many housewives is the inconsistency of actions with the result. A juicer for hard vegetables needs to be taken out, assembled, connected, and after work, disassembled, washed, dried ... And all for the sake of one glass of juice!
In fact, the device of modern juicers is such that the hostess will have to make a minimum of effort to operate and maintain the machine.
For example, the receiving opening is made in such a way that whole fruits and vegetables can be put into it. They do not need to be cut into pieces, remove bones and cores. Thanks to the chopper, all parts go into action, and the extraction efficiency increases.
Models have several operating modes, which allows you to process both hard and soft fruits in one machine. This saves the hostess from buying two types of juicers.
Another plus is the security system. It blocks the start of the juicer if its parts are loose or fit together.
And modern devices for squeezing fruit and vegetable juices are equipped with a noise absorption system. Thanks to it, the juicer for hard vegetables and fruits works silently, without creating discomfort in the house.
The body and parts of the devices are made of stainless steel, which successfully resists the acids contained in the fruit juice. The metal is not affected by corrosion processes that occur when working with liquids. And the carbon added to the steel increases wear resistance, so that the device will last much longer.
Secrets of buying a juicer
The first rule of a successful purchase: the hostess must clearly know why she is buying the device. If she only needs one glass of juice a day, then you should not spend money on purchasing a powerful professional juicer.
But if freshly squeezed juices are an integral part of the daily diet of all family members, and everyone drinks them during the day, then it is better to invest in a high-performance plant. And if the hostess is also an avid summer resident, then a professional apparatus is necessary.
Depending on the power of the device, its price is set. The more functions the juicer has and the higher its performance, the more money you will have to pay when buying.
Above, we talked about the fact that there are two types of separators, cylindrical and cone-shaped. This also needs to be taken into account, because the form affects productivity.
When buying, you also need to pay attention to such indicators as:
- power and performance;
- working hours;
- centrifuge speed.
The amount of drink and the amount of time that will have to be spent on receiving it depend on the power of the device. And also with high power, you can process whole fruits, including carrots and turnips. This indicator also affects the quality of the extraction, the more the centrifuge rotates, the more juice can be obtained from the pulp.
Operating time is an important indicator, because a powerful engine heats up quickly and can fail. To avoid this, you have to take breaks in work so that the juicer motor cools down.
In principle, such pauses can be used to clear the container from the cake. So even such a disadvantage can be considered as a virtue.
Centrifuge rotation speed is a separate indicator, which affects not only the performance of the machine. The higher it is, the cleaner the resulting juice will be. The average for professional juicers processing hard vegetables and fruits is 7-8 thousand revolutions per minute. Some manufacturers bring it up to 10 thousand revolutions per minute.
But how justified are such high speeds? After all, the price of the device depends on it. The fact is that most fruits can be processed efficiently at lower speeds. So don't chase too many zeros. In addition, manufacturers produce models of juicers with several speeds. Thanks to this, it is possible to process products of different densities in different modes, which will save energy.
It should be noted that for different purposes (for example:
A convenient feature is the automatic supply of raw materials to the grinder. Thanks to this, the hostess does not need to constantly stand at the machine and serve the fruits one by one, waiting until the apple or orange is sufficiently crushed.
The built-in foam cutter will also be useful. Those who make apple juice know how much it can be. The device allows you to get rid of flakes and increase the amount of juice obtained. After all, the foam falls to the bottom in the form of sediment and clouding the resulting liquid. The defoamer keeps the juice clean and at the same time increases the productivity of the machine.
The suction cups will also come in handy. They will securely fix the juicer on the surface of the table, will not let it fall during operation due to vibration.

Juice is made only from oranges, lemons, grapefruits, limes and tangerines. The fruit should be cut in half and placed, flesh side down, on a ribbed cone. When pressing on the fruit, juice is formed from above and flows into the reservoir.
- Advantages. Compact and easy to use. Cheaper than centrifugal and screw.
- Flaws. Not universal, suitable only for citrus fruits. Juice cannot be stored for future use.
How to choose
Citrus juicers are manual, mechanical and electric.
Manual ones are the cheapest, but ineffective: with them, you will need more fruit for one glass of juice.
Mechanical ones work due to the lever, which allows you to apply less physical effort and get more juice.
Electric juicers allow you to squeeze the maximum juice. Their power is usually 20-80 watts. The more powerful the device, the faster the juice will turn out.
Pay attention to whether the kit includes a lever that holds the fruit during the spin cycle, and nozzles of different sizes. You need at least three of them: a small nozzle for lime and lemon, a medium one for an orange, a large one for a grapefruit.
Another useful feature is the presence of a reverse. When it is, the motor rotates the juicer nozzle not in one, but in both directions, and more juice is obtained from the fruit. Expensive models have a pulp control function. It can be adjusted to make the juice thicker or vice versa.
The capacity of such juicers usually does not exceed 1–1.2 liters, because citrus juice quickly oxidizes and loses its beneficial properties. It should be drunk fresh, within 5-10 minutes after preparation. If you only make a glass of juice at a time, choose a smaller capacity juicer. If you are preparing juice for the whole family, take it with a larger container.
Suitable for juicing hard fruits and vegetables. Fruits are loaded into the neck, the disc grater inside grinds them into small particles, after which they fall on the centrifuge-separator, where juice is extracted from the resulting slurry.
- Advantages. The main advantage of a centrifugal juicer is its performance. It works quickly and copes with large volumes of fruits and vegetables. Juice can be made with a margin - for example, for the winter.
- Flaws. Works loudly, not suitable for soft fruits (banana, apricot, mango, papaya). The juice is obtained with foam, and it contains less vitamins than in whole vegetables and fruits, because due to the high speed of extraction, it heats up, interacts more with oxygen and oxidizes faster
How to choose
There are two types of centrifugal juicers: with a cylindrical and conical separator. The cylindrical one gives more juice, but during operation it must be stopped and cleaned of cake (remnants of fruits and vegetables). In new models, manufacturers are increasingly abandoning this design in favor of a conical one.
The conical separator extracts juice a little worse, but it works non-stop: the pulp is automatically removed into a special container. Washing such a juicer is still difficult: you need to disassemble it, wash all the removable parts, and then reassemble it. There are exceptions - for example, the SC-JE50S45 juicer with a self-cleaning function. After use, you need to switch it to Clean mode, and a special scraper will clean the filter itself.
Pay attention to the power, volume of containers and dimensions of the juicer. The more juice you plan to make, the higher these parameters will be. Don't go after performance, and assess your needs sensibly: you may be overpaying for too much power that you don't need.
If you need to process 30 kg of apples every summer, take a juicer with a power of 1,500-2,000 watts, and if you just like to drink a glass of juice in the morning, you can get by with a power of up to 200-500 watts.
But with the size of the neck of the juicer, everything is clear: the larger it is, the better. You can load whole fruits into a neck 7-8 cm in diameter and do not waste time slicing.
Suitable for all fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and germinated cereals. According to the principle of operation, they are similar to a meat grinder: fruits and vegetables are crushed using an auger - a mechanism similar to a screw. Under pressure, juice is formed, after which it is separated from the cake and fed into the container.
- Advantages. They make cold pressed juice. It does not heat up or oxidize during cooking and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. It is richer, sweeter and contains more pulp.
- Flaws. Less powerful than centrifugal and slower. They are quite difficult to disassemble and wash, the neck in most models is narrow.
How to choose
Auger juicers differ in body materials, power, volume of containers for juice and cake, and additional functions.
The stainless steel case is more reliable and durable than plastic.
The minimum size of containers for juice and cake is 350 ml. Power ranges from 200 to 400 watts. If you make juice for the whole family, take 400 W models with a 0.8–1 liter container and a liter juice tank, like Scarlett SC-JE50S43. If one glass of juice in the morning is enough for you, the compact Scarlett SC-JE50S39 juicer with a 350 ml container and a power of 200 watts is suitable.
Look for models with a wide neck: they are easier to use. For example, the Scarlett SC-JE50S44 juicer has a neck diameter of 7.5 cm, while the Scarlett SC-JE50S40 has a 8 cm mouth.
To wash the auger juicer, you need to get all the removable parts and rinse them under water. Included is a special brush for cleaning. For convenience, some models are equipped with an easy disassembly system - when parts are removed not one at a time, but simultaneously. This allows you to do everything in the sink and not dirty the kitchen.
Some auger juicers make not only juices and smoothies, but also sorbets. In the Scarlett SC-JE50S41 juicer, sorbet is made in the same way as juice: you pour frozen fruit into the mouth, and you get a healthy dessert at the end.
Short
- Auger juicers are the most functional and make the most useful juice. They are suitable for any fruits, vegetables, herbs and nuts, but are expensive.
- Centrifugal juicers are the most powerful and are suitable to cope with a country harvest. But they consume a lot of energy, work loudly, do not retain all the vitamins, and are only suitable for hard fruits and vegetables.
- Citrus juicers are the most inexpensive and compact, but not suitable for all fruits.

Every person, regardless of gender and age, wants to look good and be healthy. That is why more and more people around the world choose the right healthy diet. Recently, it has become fashionable to drink freshly squeezed juice in the morning. In order to easily prepare it at home, you absolutely need to purchase a juicer.
Juice can be squeezed not only from fruits and berries, but also from vegetables, as well as preparing herbal detox cocktails, nut or soy milk. Not every juicer can handle this, but only the one that is designed to work with hard vegetables and fruits.
Kinds
Centrifugal. The preparation of juice using such machines is as follows: fruits (fruits, vegetables, berries) are placed in the bowl located on top of the machine; the juicer grinds them with disc-shaped knives, after which the juice flows into a special container, and the remaining waste enters the separator. With this procedure, the temperature inside the device rises, as a result of which the products heat up and the juice slightly oxidizes and foams. Because of this, some of the vitamins are destroyed and the drink becomes less useful.
Also, the disadvantage of a centrifugal juicer is the impossibility of using it to squeeze juice from herbs for making “green” detox cocktails. In addition, this type of juicer is quite noisy, making it difficult to use in the morning. However, do not rush to be disappointed in devices of this type: such a juicer does not care about a large amount of work, with its help you can process a large number of gifts of nature and it is great for daily use;
Screw. The principle of operation of such juicers lies in the gentle grinding of products using a spiral screw (like a meat grinder). Further, the processed mass passes through a fine sieve, which separates the cake from the liquid. With such an extraction, the temperature does not rise and the juice does not lose vitamins due to forced heat treatment.
A screw juicer is capable of processing not only fruits, vegetables and berries, but also various nuts, healthy herbs, coffee beans, therefore screw juice extractors are the most suitable for processing solid foods.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any household appliance, a screw juicer has advantages and disadvantages. Her strengths:
- No heating during operation and, as a result, the preservation of all useful vitamins contained in the original products. The juice obtained with its help can be stored for up to two days and will not lose its taste and quality;
- Silent operation. Morning cocktail preparation will not be accompanied by a headache and intrusive noise;
- The device of the auger juicer is perfectly adapted for daily use: many models have a self-cleaning function, rubberized feet hold the device on the surface and do not allow it to slip, contamination of the workplace is excluded during operation;
- And, of course, the biggest plus: the ability to process any hard fruits and vegetables into beautiful clear juice. Use it to extract juice from carrots, beets, pumpkins, zucchini and apples; prepare nut and soy milk.
The disadvantages of screw models include:
- If the inlet of the device is narrow, preliminary grinding of large products will be required;
- After 30 minutes of work, you must take a break, otherwise the juicer may become unusable;
- The speed of the screw mechanism is much lower than the centrifugal one, so you will need more time to make juice;
- Not suitable for citrus. So if you want an occasional glass of orange juice but don't want to spend money on two different devices, get a manual mini version of the citrus juicer.
Rating of popular models
Consumers named the three best auger juicers in terms of "price-quality-set of options":
- Model MOULINEX ZU-5008. This is practically a professional vertical auger juicer. It processes any fruit, is very easy to operate and maintain, with its help you can prepare not only juice, but also smoothies. Also, this machine is quite silent and small in size. The amount of juice dispensed at a time is about 1100 ml. Its great advantage is the processing of cake to a dry state, which is beyond the power of any centrifugal model;
- An option for those who like to save money (but not on quality!) - ORION ORJ-031. It has a durable metal case, is equipped with protection against switching on when assembled incorrectly and an automatic cleaning function. The engine of this machine is equipped with a grill, which contributes to its cooling during operation and, as a result, increases its resource. One-time issuance of finished juice - about 800 ml;
- Another great model suitable for processing hard fruits and vegetables is the ZELMER JP-1500. It has all the qualities of the previous model, but at the same time, the production of juice is higher - about 1200 ml at a time. However, its cost is also higher.
