There are four types of juicers:
- Centrifugal
- Masticating
- Twin gear (triturating)
- Cold press juicer
The first two work in a similar way but at a different speed – centrifugal with 6,000-15,000 rotations per minute while masticating juicer is slower with 80-100 RPM. Triturating juicer contains two gears that shred the ingredients while cold press juicer extracts juice by pressing them under high pressure.
Once the ingredients are in, a high-speed spinning process starts. A sharp blade or gears chop up fruits and vegetables separating the fiber and leaving smooth juice. The juice is directly pushed through a sharp screen or pressed (using a cold press juicer, so any excess pulp could be removed) and poured into a glass or a cup. The remaining pulp is discarded.
