A juice extractor is a machine that does just that, extracts juice from fruits such as oranges, limes, grapefruits, lemons and more. The center of a juice extractor is in the shape of a cone with a ridge-like appearance.
To use a juice extractor one would simply cut the fruit in half, place the cut side down, and turn a handle to press down on the fruit and thereby extracting its juices. The fruit itself would be disposed of afterwards with seeds and pulp intact leaving just the juice of the fruit itself. The juice extractor also works well with vegetables to obtain vegetable juices. The pulp is used by some for compost or to add to other things such as breads and cakes.
The majority of the juice extractors are electric, but a manual juice extractor is also available. However, the electric juice extractors are easier and require
less effort from its user. The three types of juice extractors are a centrifugal juicer, a masticating juicer and a triturating juicer. The centrifugal juicer involves the use of a blade and a sieve and separates the juice and the pulp.
The masticating juicer mashes up the fruit to a pulp consistency and then extracts the juice from it. The triturating juicer has a double gear mechanism that will crush up the fruit and then press it out extracting the juice. The most costly of the three types of juice extractors is the triturating juicer with twin gears. However, they offer the most benefits in terms of juice extracting capabilities.
