Types Of Juicer

There are a couple of different types of juicer available on the market.

Masticating Juicer - this type of juicer “masticates” i.e chews up the fruit, which means you get more of the fibre from the fruit in the actual end product. A good example of this type of juicer is the famous Champion 2000 juicer.

Centrifugal Juicer - A centrifugal juicer spins a filter around at high speed and uses centrifugal energy to bounce the pulp back out whilst absorbing the juicer through the filter as you push the fruit down against the filter. This is a very common type of juicer on the high street.

Citrus Juicer - A citrus juicer allows you to extract the juicer from a citrus fruit, such as an orange or lemon. Usually involves half the fruit being squashed down and hollowed out by a grooved reamer.
