Content

Freshly squeezed juices are of great value for the human body, because they contain a large amount of vitamins. To make such a product yourself, you will need an auger juicer, the manual Korean or German version of which is not that expensive, and the operating principle is not very different from other similar devices. The juices obtained using this miracle machine are many times healthier than products produced using other devices of this type. Please note that not all types of fruits are suitable for it.

What is an auger juicer

Before you buy an auger juicer in an online store with mail delivery, read its description and distinctive features. This functional device is a completely new type of press juicer, in which juice is extracted completely automatically (not counting manual ones). Thanks to this, you can get a product with the maximum amount of nutrients preserved.

What is the difference between a screw juicer and a centrifugal juicer?

The difference between a screw juicer and a centrifugal juicer is that with its help you can get more juice from some products. This is due to the principle of operation of screw devices, which consists of grinding and extrusion. Thanks to its special design, every piece of fruit or vegetable is processed: it is a bit like a meat grinder. In addition, centrifugal juicers, unlike auger juicers, cannot extract liquid from herbs and berries. Using a screw shaft technique, in most cases it is possible to obtain a foam-free product.

Operating principle of auger juicer

When planning to buy an auger juicer in Moscow, St. Petersburg or another city in the country, familiarize yourself with the principle of its operation. An electric juicer with a screw or screw shaft is an automated pressing mechanism. The principle of operation is similar to a meat grinder: berries, hard vegetables, citrus fruits, etc. are fed into the loading hole, after which a single or double auger grabs the products and “chews” them. Cold pressed. The finished composition, separated from the cake, can be in the form of puree or juice with pulp.

Kinds

First of all, there are electric and manual auger juicers. The former are more functional and convenient, the latter are relatively cheap. Hand-held devices can handle hard fruits and vegetables, various types of greens, sprouted wheat grains, and nuts. In addition, there are horizontal and vertical devices. The first ones are single- and double-screw. Unlike devices with a vertical auger, they have to work with a pusher. There are also budget and premium juicers, household and industrial.

Manufacturers rating

When choosing suitable products, you need to pay attention not only to the material of the screw, housing, reliability of the design, hole diameter, but also to the brand. South Korean manufacturers are very famous, offering a wide range of devices to choose from with different spin speeds, several operating modes and even the presence of special attachments.

How to choose an auger juicer

If you need a compact and practical technique for making juice that will be convenient to use at home, then choose a vertical device. The horizontal analogue is great if you are looking for a universal technique for different purposes, especially for extracting juices from greens. If you're on a budget or looking for a simple, unplugged device, a hand-held device is the ideal choice. In addition, please note:

  • Size, weight. The more compact the equipment, the more likely it is that it will not gather dust somewhere.
  • Mechanism power. It practically does not affect the quality of the resulting product, but the productivity and speed of work depend on this parameter.
  • Neck diameter. The larger it is, the less you will have to cut fruits and vegetables.
  • Material. It is desirable that all parts in contact with products be made of stainless steel.
  • Screw rotation speed. This parameter is relatively low in almost all devices.

To understand which juicer is better - auger or centrifugal, you need to understand the operating principle of each. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each type, as well as its features, you can make the right choice for yourself and your family, but first things first.

Depending on the principle of operation, the following types of juicers are divided:

  • screw;
  • centrifugal.

If we compare them, we can note that each type has its own characteristics and characteristics.

Centrifugal juicers

The operating principle of this type of juicer is based on the use of a centrifuge. Preparing juice in such devices consists of several main steps:

  1. The fruits go inside and are ground with a disc grater into puree.
  2. The resulting mass enters a separator based on the principle of a centrifuge.
  3. Due to the centrifugal force, when rotating at high speeds, the ground pulp is pressed against the filter, where the juice is separated from the pulp.

You can extract juice from hard and soft fruits and vegetables using a centrifugal juicer. This device does not cope well with processing tomatoes and is not suitable for squeezing juice from greens and herbs. Even small seeds from fruits and berries must be removed, as they can clog the filter or damage the device.


A centrifugal juicer allows you to obtain a transparent drink without pulp. Due to the strong rotation, the juice is broken into fractions and mixed with oxygen. For this reason, foam forms on the surface of the juice and there may be layering. This drink can be drunk only in the first 10-20 minutes, since due to oxidation and heating it loses not only its benefits, but also its taste and color.

Auger juicers

If you are wondering how a screw juicer differs from a centrifugal one, the main difference lies in the operating principle. The operation of an auger juicer is based on a spiral-shaped shaft called an auger. Externally, such a device is similar to a conventional manual meat grinder. Screw devices are low-speed - only 50-80 revolutions per minute compared to several thousand revolutions of centrifugal juicers.

The auger has a dual role:

  • chops fruits and vegetables;
  • moves them towards the filter.

A metal mesh separates the juice from the pulp. The juice in a screw juicer is obtained by pressure, so it does not exfoliate and retains all the vitamins, but it contains a lot of pulp. When processing soft and overripe fruits, you may end up with puree instead of juice.


Juice in an auger juicer can be obtained from any fruits and vegetables, as well as herbs and nuts. In some models, including those from the manufacturer Hurom, auger juicers have additional attachments that can be used for preparing pasta, sausages or chopping meat.

Advantages and disadvantages of centrifugal juicers

Among the main advantages of centrifugal juicers, the following should be noted:

  1. The juice turns out clean and transparent.
  2. High speed of drink preparation due to high speed.
  3. Affordable prices and a huge selection of models from various manufacturers will allow you to choose the right option.
  4. Ease of use is due to the operating principle. All you need to do is load the fruits and wait for the device to make juice.
  5. The wide loading opening allows you to reduce preparatory work to a minimum.

During the process of juicing in a centrifugal juicer, the drink is heated and mixed with air, resulting in an oxidation process.

This drink contains significantly fewer vitamins and cannot be stored for a long time.


Other disadvantages of such devices include:

  • great noise. Due to the high speeds, the design is very noisy, so it will not be possible to prepare a healthy drink early in the morning without waking up your household;
  • low performance. To prepare a glass of juice, you will need a lot of fruits or vegetables, since a lot of liquid remains in the pulp;
  • presence of foam. It spoils the appearance and taste, but some models have automatic foam removal.

The centrifugal type device cannot be used for preparing juice from herbs and greens. A juicer cannot squeeze juice from fruits with seeds, so you will have to refuse fresh juice from grapes, raspberries, strawberries and other berries.

Advantages and disadvantages of auger juicers

To decide which juicer to choose, pay attention to the advantages of auger devices:

  • high performance. Up to 85-90% juice can be obtained from the fruits;
  • preservation of vitamins and nutrients. The drink does not lend itself to heating and oxidation, therefore it retains all useful substances;
  • no foam. The juice does not have foam and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days without losing its beneficial properties and taste;
  • low noise. Due to the low number of revolutions, the devices operate almost silently, so juice can be squeezed out at any time of the day;
  • multifunctionality. Used for making juices and purees, pates, minced meat, pasta and sausages.


Auger juicers are universal, as they help extract juice from hard and soft fruits and vegetables, herbs and nuts. Such devices are great for storing juice for future use. They do an excellent job of processing tomatoes and other fruits, as well as fruits and berries with seeds.

If we talk about the disadvantages of auger juicers, it should be noted that when processing soft fruits, it is more likely to turn out to be puree, so additional filtering through a sieve is required to obtain juice. The range of screw models on the market is smaller, but still there is enough choice. The cost of such devices is on average two times higher than centrifugal ones.

How to make a choice

There is a huge difference between an auger juicer and a centrifugal juicer, so the choice is not easy. To decide on the type of device, first decide for what purpose you will use it and what output product you want to receive.

If you like clear, pure juice, then choose a centrifuge model, and if you like a drink with pulp, buy a screw juicer. If you want to get a universal device that will help you obtain juice from any fruit, nuts and herbs, with many functions, then your choice is a screw model.

Also, be sure to consider whether you will use the device for preparing preparations (a screw model is better) or just preparing fresh juices in the morning (choose a centrifugal juicer that will quickly prepare a healthy drink).

When choosing, be guided by personal preferences and financial capabilities. Knowing the features, advantages and disadvantages of each type, you can make the right choice for yourself.

Screw juicer for home: how to choose which model is better

Takes ~5 minutes to read

The squeezing action in standard centrifugal juicers is inefficient. After all, units of this type first grind vegetables and fruits on an existing grater, and then, using a centrifuge mechanism, separate the juice from the pulp. The process takes place at high speeds, which leads to an increase in the temperature of the product. As a result, the most valuable vitamins and minerals are lost.

How to achieve a high-quality and healthy drink? The centrifugal unit is replaced by an innovative screw juicer. This machine differs from a centrifuge machine by introducing high-quality cold-pressed fresh juice technology into its creation.

What is an auger juicer?

What does the definition of auger juicer mean and on what principle does it work? The internal design of such a unique cold-pressing unit is a screw rod that squeezes out the juice from the products that have been ground into a fine state through a fine-grained sieve. The entire operation is performed at low speed. As a result, the juice does not heat up and does not oxidize, producing a natural and healthy drink. The product exceeds the juice obtained from a centric-type electric juicer in terms of vitamins and nutrients – by as much as 5 times.

Screw juicer samples have the following advantages:

  • Low speed revolutions of the device prevent oxidation of products, preserving all high-quality and useful elements;
  • The resulting juice from screw units retains all its properties for 52 hours;
  • Key mechanisms and elements of devices are not subject to centrifugal force, making it possible to increase operating time without exposing it to the risk of failure;
  • Reduced noise level;
  • Extraction of wort and juice even from high-density products such as grains, legumes and nuts.

The difference between a screw juicer and a centrifugal juicer

Despite their fairly high-speed operation and ease of operation, electric centrifugal units have a number of disadvantages in comparison with unique juicers with a screw rod. Because:

  1. The yield of juice from products placed in a centrifugal apparatus is 40-50% less than when placed in a screw apparatus.
  2. During the process of serving the finished juice, it heats up. This action leads to the loss of all essential vitamins, macro- and microelements.
  3. Storing prepared juice in a centrifugal device is unacceptable after 25 minutes.
  4. During spinning, the product comes into close contact with oxygen. Because of this, the juice oxidizes in the centrifuge device and comes out with foam.
  5. Increased product consumption.

Types of auger juicers

All auger models of juicers are divided into several types.

Manual

Mechanical units that are ordinary and universal juicers. Compact and quite comfortable devices that squeeze out fresh juices and wort from any vegetables, grains and legumes. This auger is indispensable for juice lovers who love to travel or summer residents. Does not depend on the power grid.


    Save

Horizontal single screw

These devices are similar to standard meat grinders. Universal meat grinders that perform the functions of: crusher, press, manufacturer of homemade noodles and sausages. A unit with a horizontal single auger works best for squeezing herbs. Multifunctional devices, characterized by a low price, operate from the network.


    Save

Horizontal twin screw

The “big sister” of the single-screw horizontal juicer, which has two parallel screw rods. A powerful unit that squeezes must and juices from all vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and pine needles. Special tips that come with these devices make it possible to make: amazing purees, nut and pine butter, and sherbet. Twin-screw units grind coffee and spices, prepare noodles and sausages. They are quite effective devices that produce a large yield of juice, wort and oil from products.


    Save

Vertical

Vertical screw devices are compact devices with the ability to squeeze out the largest proportion of wort and juice from all types of vegetable, grain and legume products. The only exception is grass. Under the pressure of gravity, the ingredients themselves fall under the auger, which greatly speeds up the spin action. And thanks to the silicone brush located inside the vertical auger juicer, the pulp from the mesh is constantly cleaned. As a result, the ratio of juice to pulp increases significantly. The method of pressing these aggregates ensures the preservation of the cellular structure of the loaded products.

Specifications

The key technical parameters of auger-type juicers include:

  • Capacity, for different models, from 0.4 to 1.2 liters;
  • RPM speed indicators: from 65 to 1000 in 1 minute;
  • Spin function: horizontal or vertical;
  • Number of screw rods: single screw or twin screw;
  • Intensity having indicators: from 150 W to 1 kW;
  • Neck calibration;
  • The presence of reverse motion, which increases productivity;
  • Calibration of grid cells. The smallest diameter of the mesh opening makes the juice output better.

These characteristics are the main ones when choosing the best auger juicer for your home. A review of the screw juicers that are most popular among consumers will help you decide on the right choice of unit.

The health benefits of freshly squeezed juices are undeniable, as they contain a large amount of mineral micro- and macroelements, vitamins necessary for any person. If you take juices regularly and in small quantities, they can cleanse your body, you will become more alert and active, calm your nerves and strengthen your immune system. To get all this, you can't do without a juicer.

The main purpose of a juicer is to extract juice from fruits, vegetables and berries. The fruits are placed in a special neck either whole or cut into several parts, depending on the model of the device used. The resulting juice is poured through a special hole into a separate glass, and the pulp ends up in a container. In various devices, the cake can be removed manually or automatically.

Basic principles of operation of a juicer

Before choosing a specific model, you need to decide what products you will use: soft berries or fruits, hard fruits and vegetables, or maybe all of the above. With a huge selection of existing models, juicers are divided into two main groups:

  • For citrus fruits;
  • Universal.

In this case, the operating principle of the juicer may be different. There are 2 main types:

  • Centrifugal (works on the principle of a centrifuge);
  • Screw (fruits or vegetables are first crushed according to a principle similar to a meat grinder, and then, when compressed, juice is produced).

There are devices that operate in manual and mechanical mode, but if you plan on daily use, we still recommend giving preference to electrical devices. Let's understand the nuances of the operation of the listed devices.

This is a simple device whose name speaks for itself. It is intended only for citrus fruits: oranges, lemons, tangerines. It works like this: half a fruit is placed on a cone, pressed with your hand, the engine starts and the juice flows into the container.

You can also find an electric version, so that you do not need to hold the fruit with your hands; pressure is applied using a special handle.

This universal device allows you to extract juice from all varieties of fruits and vegetables. For hard fruits, it is recommended to choose a device with a power of 200 to 250 W. The weaker one will not be able to handle apples and beets, the stronger one will consume more electricity.

The operation of this device is based on centrifugal force. Inside there is a knife, which, rotating quickly, first chops the fruit. Under the influence of centrifugal force, pieces of fruit are pressed against the walls, juice is separated from the fibers and flows into a glass, and the cake into a waste container.

Important! Fruits and vegetables must first be peeled and seeded so that they do not get stuck in the filter. The main advantage of these devices is their speed. Centrifugal juicers are suitable for extracting large amounts of juice! Moreover, almost all models have 2 speeds: for hard and soft fruits.

Auger devices work like this: fruits are placed in a chamber, and they can be loaded whole, without first cutting them into small pieces. First, they fall onto a rotating shaft (auger), which crushes them, and then enter the squeezing unit. When passing along the screw, the fruit pieces are compressed and juice is released from them.

For example, an auger juicer is definitely suitable for stone fruits; it includes a special fork designed for separating the seeds. Another plus is the good quality of juice extraction. There are also a couple of technical advantages - less noisy operation and economical energy consumption.

Errors when working with the device

To ensure that your juicer serves you for many years, we recommend avoiding the following mistakes:

  1. Parts of the device must not be washed in hot water. At high water temperatures, they can become deformed, and magnetic sensors and seals can also be damaged.
  2. Do not use a knife, fork or other utensils not included with the juicer as a pusher. They can get stuck and damage the housing, or jam the auger.
  3. Do not overload the device in order to speed up operation. Pushing fruits with excessive force into a full neck can cause problems with the operation of the device. The juice will begin to flow through the gasket into the engine.
  4. Avoid poor cleaning. A poorly washed or dried juicer may break. Dried residues of juice or fruit can impair the permeability of the sieve, which, in turn, can lead to breakdown of individual elements or to complete failure of the device.

We have looked at various options for juicers and the principles of their operation; all you have to do is choose which specific device will satisfy your needs and wishes.
