Juicer for a large number of apples

Freshly squeezed juice is a source of vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances. The most affordable and common fruits from which to make this healthy drink are apples. Apple juice has a low calorie content and practically does not differ in chemical composition from fresh fruits. It is recommended to use it for anemia, low hemoglobin in the blood, low immunity, etc. To prepare a small amount of juice for the family, for example, for breakfast, you can use a universal juicer. An ordinary household juicer may not be able to handle the task of processing a large volume of raw materials. For a large number of apples, you should choose a more powerful device. We will talk about this in this article.

Types of juicers for a large number of apples

First of all, let us dwell on the types of juicers, with which you can squeeze juice from a large number of apples.

Auger

Due to the low speed of rotation of the screw juice is obtained of good quality.

Important! It preserves vitamins, trace elements and other beneficial substances as much as possible due to the fact that the beverage does not heat up during the spin cycle.

This type has several advantages and is great for short work. To process a large number of apples, while not spending too much time and effort, will fail for such reasons:

• before processing, raw materials must be crushed;
• soft fruits make mashed potatoes, and additional processing is required to separate the juice;
• the device overheats and requires a regular stop every half hour.

Centrifugal

The grater knife rotates with great speed, and the apples, falling on it, are chopped. Under the influence of centrifugal force, the resulting slurry is discarded on the walls of the centrifuge, the juice is separated and passes through special openings to the outside, and the cake remains inside. This type of juicer is characterized by high productivity and is recommended for processing a large number of apples.

Important! In the process of squeezing the juice heats up, but this is not a significant drawback, since when preparing for the winter, the drink undergoes heat treatment.

Press

Apples are crushed to a state of slurry, which is sent under the press. The juice obtained in this way is of very good quality, practically does not contain pulp, does not heat up and does not oxidize. Such a model can be easily assembled with your own hands and vary performance. So, with a press volume of 20 l, in 5 minutes you can get a bucket of juice.

Important! In large enterprises, the process of squeezing juice occurs using a press. Since huge volumes of raw materials need to be processed in production, these are large-sized and very powerful plants - industrial juicers.

Given the high performance of the centrifugal juicer and the minimum preparation of apples before processing, in comparison with other devices, we will consider what parameters should be considered when buying it.

Criteria for choosing a juicer for a large number of apples

When choosing a juicer for large volumes of apples, pay attention to such characteristics:

• Working power. The performance and overall performance of the juicer directly depends on the power - the more powerful the machine, the higher these rates. A powerful juicer is able to continuously process a large number of apples without overheating the engine.
• The speed of rotation of the work item. To obtain juice with a minimum amount of pulp for ripe, soft apples, you should choose a low speed, for hard ones - a high rotation speed.
• Circular filter. It should be made of high quality stainless steel, have a large number of holes. The quality of the juice obtained depends on the diameter and number of holes.
• Material. For higher-quality and more expensive models, the case is made of metal or high-quality impact-resistant plastic.
• Neck. The ability to load whole apples without cutting them depends on the diameter of the neck. For apples, the optimum diameter is 63-85 mm.
• Function of automatic dumping of a cake. The presence of this function allows you to get the best quality juice, without the ingestion of processed products, and also eliminates the need for periodic manual cleaning.
• Foam cutter. Apples in the process of processing form a large amount of foam, and getting it into the juice adversely affects its quality.
• Protection system. In case of incomplete assembly, the protection system will prevent the appliance from turning on, which eliminates the risk of injury from the cutting parts of the juicer.

The advantages of a professional juicer for a large number of apples:

• The manufacturing quality of juicer components ensures a long and non-stop operation of the device.
• The use of stainless steel in the manufacture of the device avoids the oxidation of the juicer elements, which is inevitable due to the high iron content in apples.
• The presence of a foam cutter, which not all household juicers are equipped with.
• The built-in filter from skins and seeds accelerates and facilitates the work, and works in the modes of obtaining juice with and without pulp.
• No need for pressure on the apple when loading it into a juicer.
• There is no need to chop apples before processing.

The best models of juicers for a large number of apples

The best producers of home juicers for a large volume of apples are Russia and Belarus. This is due to the fact that in other countries, mainly, they do not process apples in everyday life. Let's consider the main models.

Rossoshanka

This model of a juicer, popular since Soviet times, is produced in Belarus and is an improved copy of the Salute model.

Important! This device is designed for squeezing juice from solid vegetables and fruits, and is able to process from 60 kg of apples per hour.

A wide neck allows you to load apples whole. The quality of the juice is good, the pulp in the product remains very little - 7-8%.

Main characteristics:

• Power - 180 watts.
• Case material - plastic.
• The mass of the device is 10.2 kg.
• The cylindrical shape of the separator.

The disadvantages of this juicer are:

• The lack of automatic discharge of the cake, which requires a stop in operation to clean the separator.
• Strong vibration due to accumulation of oilcake in the separator.

Salute

This juicer is produced in Russia and is the forerunner of Rossoshanka, therefore their main functions and disadvantages are similar. The differences are only in the following characteristics:

• Power - 400 watts.
• Weight - 13 kg.
• Processing speed - 60 kg per hour.

Summer resident

Russian representative of juicers for a large number of apples.

Quality characteristics

“Summer resident” in characteristics is very similar to previous models and has the following basic parameters:

• Power consumption - 280 watts.
• Weight - 10.5 kg.
• Spin efficiency - 50%.
• Productivity - 1 liter of juice per minute.
• Case material - shockproof plastic.
• The drum material is stainless steel.
• The cylindrical shape of the separator.
• Cyclic operation - after 15 minutes of operation, a 5-minute break is required for rest.
• Wide neck for loading raw materials.

Disadvantages:

• The lack of automatic ejection of cake.
• Noisy work.
• Difficulties in cleaning the inner mesh, as it cannot be removed.
• The drain for juice is at the bottom, not the side. This makes it impossible to attach to the table and limits the choice of containers for collecting juice (you need to use a low volume or a lot of small ones).

Zhuravinka

This model of the Belarusian producer is able to process up to 30 kg of apples per hour. A distinctive feature is the presence of a shredder function, which will allow it to be used for harvesting salads. To reset the cake, the model is equipped with a special lever.

Neptune

This juicer for a large number of apples is one of the best.

Options

Consider in more detail the main characteristics.

• The mass of the device is 8 kg.
• Power - 320 watts.
• The conical shape of the separator determines the automatic discharge function of the meal, which allows for a long time to process raw materials without stopping for cleaning.
• Processing speed up to 120 kg of apples per hour. Agree, the figure is impressive.
• Pulse mode of operation. The nozzles, working with short breaks, will process even the hardest fruits and vegetables.
• Existence of a turbo mode allowing to accelerate an extraction and to strengthen power.
• The presence of a waste container, which is attached to the juicer using a special clamp, which allows it not to fall and not slip during operation.
• A wide loading neck allows you to load apples whole without chopping them.
• Rubber suction cup legs provide stability during operation.
• The presence of a foam cutter.

Minuses

With all the advantages, this device also has disadvantages:

• Juicers with a conical separator give less juice output.
• Spraying juice while working in a radius of a meter. Therefore, it is better to carry out work outdoors, and not in your own kitchen, and in appropriate clothing.

Juice preservation

To procure juice it will not be enough to purchase a juicer. Let's get acquainted with the main processes during the preservation of the drink:

1. Preparation of apples. It is necessary to thoroughly wash the raw materials, if necessary, cut into pieces.
2. Preparing the juicer for work. It is necessary to check the serviceability, assembly and availability.
3. Juice spin. In the process, you need to load apples into the apparatus and push it with a pusher. Squeezed juice is collected in a separate container. If there is no function to automatically reset the cake, manually clean the machine from it.
4. Pasteurization of juice. The resulting juice should be boiled.
5. Preparation of containers. Sterilization of containers in which juice will be stored.
6. Hot juice is poured into a sterile container and closed.
