What is Cold Press Slow Juicer Machine

Juicer is one kitchen appliance that has been in demand that is being highly utilized in healthy living and weight loss. In this article, I will walk you through what is cold press slow juicer and why it’s the best option to go after.

I have discussed in my previous article about Alternative Healthy Kitchen Appliance, that the slow juicer has become more popular because of the improved design and health benefits it offers.

Like blenders, it also has evolved with many new models emerging.

So, join me in discovering more about cold press slow juicer!

What is cold press Slow Juicer

A Cold Press Slow Juicer is a type of juicer that has lower power and a slower rotational speed rate.

The term “cold press” literally means that the slow juicer does not create heat during juicing operation because of the low speed employed by the motor as designed. Thus, preventing oxidation and preserving juice’s freshness and nutrients.

A slow juicer can also extract 50% more juice compared to a conventional type of juice extractor. One good example is the centrifugal juicer. Usually, this type of juicer is with higher power (e.g. 1000W), thus, juicing is done at a high speed (e.g. >12,000 RPM) and that can result in oxidation because of the heat produced during the high-speed rotation of the sieve while the juice is being extracted.

Types of Slow Juicers

As noted in my previous article about SDA, the slow juicer comes in different designs. Currently, there are two types of slow juicers, they are:

• Whole Slow Juicer – this design is with a bigger feeding mouth where you can insert the whole fruit, thus, the name “whole” slow juicer to describe and separate it from the standard type.

• Slow Juicer (standard type) – this design is with a smaller feeding mouth where you need to cut the fruit before you could insert it for juicing (the sample that I will be showing is the standard type slow juicer).

Note: Both designs utilize the same low-speed motor and auger (screw-type presser). The only difference between the two designs is the size of the feeding mouth.

Main parts of a Slow Juicer

How does a cold press Slow Juicer works?

Slow juicers operate at lower power and slower rotational speed. As provided above, the specification of the featured sample has a power of 150W and the speed is approximately 40 RPM (revolution per minute).

So, let me show you how a slow juicer is assembled, and let’s do some actual juicing.

Please note that different designs will have different ways of the installation process. What I will be showing is according to my sample.

Always refer to your instruction manual to ensure you don’t damage your slow juicer by forcing it with the wrong installation.

Setting a Slow Juicer

Actual juicing utilizing a cold press Slow Juicer

Tips: 
1. Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, pomegranates, oranges, and grapes are particularly suitable for processing in the juicer.
2. You don't need to remove thin peels or skin. Only remove thick peels (e.g. those of oranges, pineapples, and uncooked beetroots). Also, remove the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a bitter taste. 
3. Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs, and mangoes are not suitable for processing in the juicer (use a blender instead or food processor).
4. Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the juice loses its taste and nutritional value.

What is the difference between a slow juicer and a cold press juicer?

There is no difference… as I have implied a “cold press slow juicer” is also known as a “slow juicer”.

Cold press slow juicer is a description used more for marketing purposes, to outline the difference between slow juicer from common juicer (e.g. centrifugal juicers).

Why is it called cold press?

The term “cold press” is to denote that slow juicers don’t create heat during juicing because of the lower power utilized by a special motor and a slower rotational speed.

Thus, promoting the preservation of fruits and vegetable enzymes in juice extract as well as other vital nutrients are retained.

Are cold press juicer worth it?

In my opinion, a cold press slow juicer is worth it for the following reasons:

• Retains most nutrients and can hold freshness of the extracted juice (if kept refrigerated)

• Prevent oxidation because there’s no heat created during juicing process

• Extracts more juice than the conventional juice extractors

• Lighter and smaller than common centrifugal juicers

• Easy to clean

• Lower noise level (during juicing process)

Final Thoughts

So in conclusion, we were able to lay down the necessary information about what is cold press slow juicer machine and at the same time, we were able to establish how does it work.

Moreover, we also have defined its main parts.

Consequently, we discovered why a slow juicer is the best option there is for juicing. Employing a special low-power motor with a slower rotational speed is crucial in the cold press juicing process that preserves fruits and vegetables’ vital nutrients by preventing oxidation.
