Nutrition also plays an important role, so even various restaurants and cafes are beginning to open, specializing only in proper and healthy nutrition. One of the components of this regimen is freshly squeezed juice, which can be made from a variety of health-promoting foods. At the moment, there are various types of juicers that allow you to make such a drink at home.
For example, the screw type of this device is popular. We will tell you more about this juicer in this review so that consumers can understand what kind of device it is, how it works and the functions it performs, and, perhaps, the choice will be made in its favor.
Device and principle of operation
The device of the screw juicer is as follows: a pair of cylindrical augers with spiral grooves, which are located with gaps of 0.1 millimeter, crush vegetables and fruits in a bowl at a speed of 110 rpm, thus turning them into gruel. If the augers rotate without interruption, then the pressure increases, the furrows become not so deep.
A large amount of juice is released from the resulting gruel. The resulting dry cake is sent to waste, and the juice is drained into a special container. The design of the screw units is very similar to meat grinders. They are of two types:
- Electric - work due to the engine.
- Mechanical - work is done manually.
In addition, these devices are divided into single-screw and twin-screw, horizontal and vertical.
