Many berries, of which make delicious juices, have bones. They come in different sizes. But, if large ones can be easily removed, then what to do with small ones, such as in gooseberry , garnet or currant? In this case, you should use juicers, specially designed for processing berries with bones.
How to choose a juicer for berries?
First of all, you should decide what kind of fruit you will use most for making juice. Then you need to know what kind of juicers are available for berries, and choose the one that will be more suited to your needs. Centrifugal juicers should not be used to obtain juice from berries with small bones, for them it is necessary to take auger or with a press mechanism. As a result of their use, a drink is produced that preserves all the useful qualities of the processed fruit (vitamins, trace elements, sweetness).
To make it easier to determine which model is more suitable for you, consider in more detail the recommended varieties of juice extractors for berries.
Screw juice extractors for berries
This juicer looks very much like a meat grinder, only it has more than one outlet, but two: for juice and for pomace with pits. They can be located from different directions, depending on the brand, but the principle of their work is the same for all. The washed berries are loaded into a special compartment from which they enter the bush, where they are ground with a screw (the shaft that rotates), the mass is squeezed out to dryness and then the juice flows through the gutter in one direction, and the remaining waste (bones, remains of the pulp and peel) in the other.
Screw juice squeezers are both mechanical (manual) and electric, the speed of which is usually 50-80 revolutions per minute. The rotating shaft can be located both vertically and horizontally. Their difference lies in the fact that for the latter it is necessary to cut the fruits and use the pusher to move them further into the working compartment towards the auger.
A major drawback of screw juice juicers for berries is that they are rarely found. Most of them are produced by domestic manufacturers, but because they are not bought so often, it happens in small batches, and abroad such devices are not particularly popular. That is why many firms that produce meat grinders have developed additional nozzles for them, capable of performing the functions of a juicer for berries or vegetables.
If you purchased a meat grinder with a juicer for berries and tomatoes, you should carefully monitor its purity, and do not allow any particles of products to remain in it after work. This is due to the fact that the augers change, and the body remains the same, so the juice can deteriorate.
Hand juicer-press for berries
In this device juice is obtained by pressing the berries. As a result, the fluid flows down the gutter into one container, and the whole bone and rind into the other. Such juicers are universal and specialized. In the first you can process any fruits, fruits and vegetables, and in the second - only a specific berry.
If you want to get a high-quality drink suitable for conservation, then you should use a specialized model of berry juicer, then the degree of spinning and cleaning will be maximum. For everyday production of juice or for culinary purposes, you can use a universal one. In it there is a special compartment, where the remaining bones and peel are collected after pressing.
