Masticating machine
The masticating machine ‘chews’ on the fibers and breaks up the cells of fruits and vegetables, operating at a relatively slower speed.
The juice it produces has more vitamins, enzymes, fiber, and trace minerals.
Aside from extracting juices, it can also be used to homogenize food products; thus it can be used for making sauces, baby food, fruits sorbets, and nut butters.
Some models can also be attached with a grain mill for grinding grain into flour.
Centrifugal machine
The centrifugal machine grinds the fruits and vegetables first then pushes them through a strainer, spinning at a very fast rate; this process yields more volume of juice.
The centrifugal machine is the most highly available juicer in the market.
Some models can be attached with a citrus attachment for juicing citrus fruits without peeling.
Triturating (twin gear) machine
The triturating or twin gear machine turns at a slower RPM; it involves a two-step process.
First, it crushes the fruits and vegetables; second, it presses the juice.
This process produces juice with more vitamins, enzymes, fiber, and more trace minerals.
In addition, it has a bio-ceramic technology that slows down the oxidation process; this is ideal for storing juices.
It is the machine used for wheat grass juicers; it is also ideal for juicing sprouts, root vegetables, leafy greens, carrots, and most water-dense fruits.
