What is a Centrifugal Juicer?

Centrifugal means “moving or tending to move away from a center.” According to Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary.

I am sure you have the experience of a bus or taxi journey. You might use them regularly.

Sometimes you may have a speedy journey experience. Mark it while it is turning left/right. A force tries to push you away from the center. That is the system almost centrifugal juicers work.

There is a motor in it. It spins at an incredible speed & that is the reason it is called centrifugal.

As it works faster than most other juicers, many people call it’s a fast juicer.

Working Method of Centrifugal Juicers

You will often find a tray at the upper part of a centrifugal juice extractor & there you will find a Linn/ chute. It is the opening through which you have to push your fruits and vegetables in your juicer.

Normally almost every centrifugal juicer has a pusher to push your fruits and vegetables in its juicing process.

There is a spinning disc including a sharp cheese grater at the bottom. When you push fruits or vegetables in it, it gets cut into small pieces by falling on the spinning disc. The disc has a net with tiny holes in it. All the seeds are trapped into the net & ejected while the juice is passing through.

Finally, the juice comes like a jet into your glass. This is the process of your juice being made by a centrifugal juicer.

Better Ingredients for Centrifugal Juicers

A centrifugal juicer may not produce the highest juice yield. Because it is a fast juicer. But it is capable of giving you a great deal of juice from your fruits or vegetables.

You have to choose the right fruits & vegetables. As it works better for hard vegetables like celery, cucumber, carrots & other rooted vegetables.

You can get the very last drop of it while juicing. But you can store it for 24 hours only. After that, the juice will spoil. But we are pretty sure you need not store it for so long.

One more thing, a centrifugal juicer needs very little time to clean.
