Centrifugal juicers are more commonplace, and in general, more
affordable. They typically have an upright design in which food is
pushed into a rapidly spinning mesh chamber with sharp teeth on its
floor. The teeth shred the food into a pulp, and the centrifugal motion pulls
the juice out of the pulp and through the mesh filter, where it is
funneled out of the juicer via a spigot. In most centrifugal juicers,
the pulp, once most of the juice has been pulled out, is ejected into a
separate collection chamber. Centrifugal juicers work best with soft and
hard fruits and vegetables, but not quite as well with leafy greens like kale or spinach, or with wheatgrass.
Masticating juicers, meanwhile, typically have a horizontal
design in which a tube containing the auger extends out of the motorized
base. Pieces of fruits and vegetables are pushed into the top of the
tube, and they are crushed and squeezed by the auger. Juice drains out
of the underside of the tube, while the pulp is squeezed out at the end
of the tube. Because of the slower crushing and squeezing action, masticating juicers
can process leafy greens and wheatgrass, and the juice that they
produce will last much longer than juice made in a centrifugal juicer,
which should be consumed right away as it starts losing nutrients nearly
immediately.
