All juicers for vegetables and fruits (non-citrus) can be divided into two constructive types: screw and centrifugal. Of these, centrifugal is traditionally used to handle a large number of fruits. They are simple in design and inferior in some parameters of screw juicers - for example, they are stronger at work, they cannot be pressed with red currant juice and some other fruits with a large number of small bones. But but the best samples of centrifugal juicers are characterized by high performance, which is especially pleasant when the fruit is a lot. That is why the August article we dedicate centrifugal juicers.

Details of construction
The spin of the juice is made as follows. The flesh of fruits is served on a rapidly rotating separator (centrifuge), the speed of rotation of which is tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. The lower part of the centrifuge is equipped with sharp cutting teeth (they instantly crushed the flesh), and the side walls (conical or cylindrical species) are a mesh with small (millimeter shares) by holes. The pulp under the action of centrifugal force is discarded on the grid, the juice passes through the holes and enters the glass for juice, and the cake is discarded into the container for its collection.

Interesting Facts
- Juicers, probably, are the most ancient representatives of household appliances. Primitive devices for squeezing juice appeared with the development of winemaking - it is difficult to say exactly when it is, however, the wine-making presses have been widely used in ancient Greece.
- Pressed cake is a valuable food product that can be used to use it in the case. For example, tomato residues are used as a refueling to vegetable soups, magnificent pancakes are obtained from apple cake, and a carrot cake can be prepared from carrot. It turns out and delicious, and useful.
- Juice is not always useful. The components of vegetable juices can irritate the stomach, intestines. Therefore, vegetable juices should be used with caution. Grape juice contains a lot of sugar, and it is not recommended for diabetics.

The diameter of the neck
For greater speed, the capacity of the capacity for the juice and container for the cake is important, but most importantly the diameter of the loading hole (usually from 4 to 8 cm in household models). What he is more, the less you have to mess with the pre-grinding of large fruits. And this procedure sometimes occupies a lion part of the time.Number of spin speeds
In most models, there are one or two of them, but there are also multi-speed. It is believed that two-speed models are more efficiently pressing juice from fruits of different consistency. For example, for soft and juicy tomatoes, a low spin speed (5-7 thousand rpm) is better, and for solid and low-speed carrots, a high speed is needed (10-12 thousand rpm).
Dappenter (Function "Drop-Stop")
It prevents the flow of juice drops on the worktop when we remove the container with juice. There may be no inexpensive models.Removable plastic parts. The design should be easily assembled and dealt and being easy to clean, it should not be secluded places where the cake can accumulate.

Consumer test
Apples were chosen for the dough - probably the main domestic source of fresh juice. In the leaders in the velocity of the spin, the Bosch and Scarlett models were, which was not surprisingly, the neck played his role, all the apples went through it without any problems (we took unrigible apples, the bones were not separated, but with larger diameter fruits, the difference would not be so noticeable, since cut them for all juicers). A slightly suspended the Philips juicer, but it turned out to be better in terms of performance. Test results are reduced to the table.
