The idea behind owning a personal juicer is to produce fresh juice whenever desired for the purpose of adding natural raw nutrients to the diet. Besides the citrus-only juicers, there are two basic types of juicers that can handle all types of fruits and vegetables. One type cuts the produce with a blade while a sieve and centrifugal force strains the juice out. The other smashes or grinds the produce then presses it to extract the juice.

The possible drawbacks of an electric juicer are the addition of air into the juice from the rapidly moving parts which causes the juice to oxidize and the heat from the speedy processing which can “cook” some nutrients out of the juice. The hydraulic juicer press avoids these drawbacks and produces a more natural, rawer type of juice.

How it all Works

The hydraulic juicer press incorporates two processes, combined in some models and separate in others. Whatever type of produce is used, the hydraulic juicer press presses and squeezes the juice from it. Some types of produce have to be put through the other process first to break down the tough fiber before pressing.

The fruits and vegetables are placed in a cloth bag before the pressing which results in more of the juice being extracted and a drier pulp. The squeezing and pressing requires less rapid movement, thereby adding no air to the juice and, without the friction of rapidly moving parts, does not “cook” the nutrients out of the juice.

Because the juice is not oxidized, it can be stored for up to three days without any loss of nutrition. This is a plus since the hydraulic juicer press can be more work to clean up than the other types of electric juicers. Raw food lovers also praise the fully strained juice. Pulp in juice is believed to be difficult to digest. The act of chewing begins the process of digestion.

Juice is not chewed and so the digestive system is not ready to process pulp. By producing a fully strained juice, the hydraulic juicer press allows the nutrients to be absorbed by the body quickly.

Many believe that the hydraulic juicer press makes juice that delivers more nutrients than the whole fruit or vegetable itself. The fiber of the produce contains a lot of the nutrients but is not fully digested. By removing the fiber, the hydraulic juicer press allows all of the juice to be used by the body instead of losing some of it in the indigestible fiber. The hydraulic juicer press is preferred by many groups of natural food lovers.
