What’s difference between Compare Masticating and Centrifugal Juicers?

Equipping a juicer for the family is the desire of many housewives. But should choose a Masticating or Centrifugal Juicers is what makes many people confused because it is not possible to compare all about the price, quality or advantages and disadvantages of these two types of juicers. Today’s article will introduce you to what’s difference between Compare Masticating and Centrifugal Juicers.

Why should we need a juicer in my house?

Fruit juice provides a variety of vitamins, enzymes, and nutrients in an easily absorbed liquid form to the human body. Drinking at least 2 glasses of fruit juice in the diet every day is a great secret to help prevent disease naturally, limit the aging process, and a great way to support the beauty of women.

Using a juicer, housewives will reduce ½ the cost of supplementing the family’s nutrition source from fruit juices. If it costs $8.00 – $10.00 for a glass of juice to buy from outside, then with that money we will probably have 2 glasses of juice quality if you do it yourself at home when there is a juicer.

Therefore, if calculating the long-term details and equipping a juicer will be much more beneficial.

Differences between Centrifugal and Masticating Juicers

• Technology and operational principles

The centrifugal juicer is usually composed of the main parts: high-speed motor, grinding wheel with a variety of small blades, lid refreshing fresh vegetables and fruits, juice and pulp containers.

The principle of operation of this machine is that when the fruit is put in, the tray will run at very high speed (nearly 2,400 rpm) to help the fruit to be ground and separate the water from the pulp thanks to centrifugal pressure.

Also because of this principle, when operating the machine makes a big noise and it also can not operate continuously for a long time because it will cause heat and motor damage.

The masticating juicer with 2 main parts is a gear motor and special auger that help juice vegetable and fruit with a speed of only about 85 rpm. The principle of operation is that when the fruit is put in, the spiral auger will slowly pull the material into the screen with almost no centrifugal force and friction on the pressing mixture, a pulp separator.

will push the residue out and the juice will naturally flow out. Thereby the machine minimizes noise when operating, does not affect the surroundings and the machine can also be used continuously for longer periods (maximum of about 25 – 45 minutes depending on the machine).

• Quality of juice

Compared to the factors perceived by the senses, the juice from the slow juicer (masticating juicer) has the color usually darker and more beautiful, the taste more intense and closer to the fruity taste than the conventional juicer (centrifugal juicer).

The juice from a slow press does not precipitate or separate as in conventional press; The slow juicer produces low foaming water, which doesn’t have as many small residues as the regular press.

Compared to the internal factors that need to be analyzed by studies, it has been proved that the juice of finished products from the masticating juicer retains much more vitamins, minerals,  nutrients and the sour, sweet or specific flavor of vegetables and fruits also are more authentical than the centrifugal juicer.

Compared to the amount of juice and the amount of pulp: the conventional juicer produces more juice with the drier fiber than centrifugal one.

The main reason for the difference is the principle of operation of the two types of machines. The centrifugal force of a press typically produces heat up to 70 degrees Celsius (so we can feel the juice can be slightly warmed).

That is enough to break most vitamins and nutrients available in pressed fruits and vegetables. Moreover, when nutrients break down the structure, the air becomes oxidized more easily, creating a layering phenomenon in the final juice cup.

Moreover, pressing with an ordinary pressing machine does not separate all the water in the mixture under the centrifugal force. With a slow press under the pressure of the auger, the material is crushed and pressed to extract almost all the water available in fruits and vegetables.

• Way to clean

If a conventional juicer needs to be disassembled and meticulously cleaned after use to clean, store, or grind another type of material, the masticating juicer is much easier in cleaning.

After use, the slow juicer is capable of self-cleaning, you just need to fill the water and the machine will clean basically, you just need to disassemble the parts and wash through under the tap to store. Parts and components of this machine are also simple in structure and easier to clean than the centrifugal juicer.

Should buy Masticating or Centrifugal Juicers

By comparison, we have to recognize that the masticating juicer takes more advantage than the centrifugal juicer about juice quality, warranty, smooth use, and hygiene… The speed of juicing of two types of juicers is similar. However, when using a slow juicer, you also often have to spend time cutting raw material to better squeeze and avoid material jams.

And especially about the cost, to get a masticating juicer, you have to spend 10% – 30% more (and sometimes more) than buying a centrifugal juicer.

The masticating or centrifugal juicers usually have their own advantages and disadvantages, but both are useful for users to make delicious, nutritious and healthy juice glasses

If you have better financial resources, think that you should also boldly invest in a slow juicer. However, an ordinary juicer with affordable prices for the majority of users is also quite good for you to prepare for your family kitchen.
