Masticating juicer procedure and benefits
Fruits or vegetables are inserted into a chamber and contacts a screw or auger type mechanism that breaks down the plant material and then presses it against the housing, straining screen or crushes it between warm and screen. The slowly rotating mechanism of juicer machines creates great pressing force on the fruit and vegetable matter and forces the juice out of this plant matter leaving a very dry pulp material that is automatically eject.
This slow rotating mastication juicer minimizes heat and oxidation of the juice to preserve nutrient value. This method tends to provide a more pulpy and fibrous juice. Use requires reasonable force to insert hard fruits and vegetables into the feed chute and press against the auger or screw mechanism. Large fruits and vegetables must be cutting up into smaller chunks. Attachments make machines more versatile in preparing nut butters, pureed foods and pastas. Quieter operation than centrifugal juicers. A screw type single auger moves the pulp along the auger to press the pulp against a straining screen or housing. Soft fruits should be combining with harder fruits and vegetables, as the auger needs plant fiber to move the material along the length of the auger. Works well with leafy vegetables such as parsley, spinach and wheat grass. Low 80-100 rpm speed is quiet and produces less foaming and oxidation than centrifugal juicers.
A masticating juicer is especially good at juicing the very important green leafy vegetables such as wheat grass, spinach, parsley, cilantro, kale, Swiss chard, orange, pineapple etc.
