Auger juicers - a unique technology of squeezing

What is Low Speed Technology System?

Companies like Kuvings and Hurom LC Ltd have developed and manufactured vertical auger juicers that utilize the Slow Juicer principle. This is because the shaft rotates at only 80 rpm, compared to 1,000-8,000 rpm in centrifugal juicers. However, this doesn't mean it takes longer to extract juice than a centrifugal juicer. On the contrary, these juicers extract juice very quickly and efficiently, preserving all the vitamins and nutrients.

This technology works by gradually moving the product into the gap between the auger and the sieve, resulting in grinding and compression. The design of the auger (widening toward the bottom) and the sieves (narrowing toward the bottom) ensures that the pressure continually increases while the rotation speed remains constant. The implemented design solutions offer numerous advantages over centrifugal juicers (shown clearly in the table below).

Research has shown that auger juicers produce much drier pulp than centrifugal juicers. This means that speed isn't an indicator of productivity. However, it does affect juice quality. How, you ask? High-speed rotation of the juicer causes intense friction and, as a result, heat. Heated juice oxidizes when it comes into contact with metal , significantly reducing the vitamin content of the juice.

Let's highlight the advantages of low-speed auger juicers:
1. Productivity
In 1-5 minutes, you'll get 1 liter of juice from completely dry pulp. To achieve this kind of juice yield with a centrifugal juicer, you'll need to run the pulp through several passes (2-4).
2. Juice quality
Juice extracted with a low-speed auger juicer contains the maximum amount of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and nutrients because it avoids the destructive process of oxidation. You get "live juice" that retains its vitamin content for 72 hours.
3. Cost-effectiveness
Raw material consumption: 1 kg of tomatoes produces 1 liter of juice, while a centrifugal juicer produces 0.4-0.6 liters per 1 kg of tomatoes. Power consumption: 150-240 W, centrifugal juicers: 240-1500 W.

4. Noise level
Auger juicers are virtually silent, at 30-55 dB, while centrifugal juicers are over 70 dB. Even a child will enjoy making juice with this type of juicer or watching the process, rather than running away in fear.
5. Versatility 5. Versatility
This type of juicer allows you to extract juice from fruits, vegetables, root vegetables, leaves, wheat germ, and even soy and almond milk.
6. Ergonomics
Easy to use, requires minimal space, and includes a carrying handle. To obtain several varieties of juice, simply rinse with 1 cup of water while in operation. No need to push the juicer when dispensing, as the juicing element is vertical.
7. Durability
The housing and operating parts are made of highly durable materials. The auger and screen are made of ULTEM, a material 8 times stronger than conventional plastic. For greater reliability and durability, a geared motor is used, combining the motor and gearbox. This type of juicer does not use knives, which require sharpening or replacement when worn.
8. Security
If a large piece of juice gets stuck, a reverse/reverse switch is provided. In case of malfunction or overload, a safety shut-off is activated. The design eliminates sharp edges and cutting surfaces, making the juicer safe to clean.
If you want to drink the most delicious juice, filled with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and nutrients, choose a low-speed auger juicer that can make "live juice."

Our store features juicers from the pioneering Korean factories Kuvings and Hurom, which have been producing low-speed juicers for over 30 years. You can choose and buy an auger juicer in the Auger Juicers section.
