Auger juicers have squeezed the centrifuges. They are more compact, easy to operate and can handle pitted grapes, pomegranates and currants – fruits that were previously not recommended to be pressed in electric juicers.
Principle of Action
In principle, auger juicers are similar to meat grinders, only without the knife. Product moves slowly through the auger, grinding against the fine mesh mesh. The juice flows into one opening and the cake goes into the other opening.

Juice quality
Auger juicers some marketers call cold-pressed juicers. Indeed, the auger rotation speed is very low – from 50 revolutions per minute. By comparison, centrifugal juicers have a rotational speed of up to 12,000. revolutions per minute. At these high speeds, product heating occurs, which is avoided in screw-type.
The juice from the auger juice squeezer turns out homogeneous, and only if you let it stand, it stratifies – the pulp on the bottom and liquid on top. And the juice from the centrifugal juicer immediately comes uneven.
But there is one nuance to consider – the juice in auger juicers is thicker with more pulp. If someone in your family likes pureed juice, you will have to pass it through a strainer additionally.
Additional features
Many auger juicers come with an additional sorbet attachment. It has no strainer. It works like this: you take very cooled berries or half-frozen and pass them through this attachment. You get icy smooth fruit puree. You can eat it right away, you can add whipped cream, stir it and freeze it in molds, getting homemade ice cream. On such hot days, few will refuse such a dessert.
Useful little things
When choosing an auger juicer, pay attention to
- On the size of the loading hatch for groceries. So you don’t have to chop the vegetables too finely.
- Easy to assemble/disassemble. Learn as you go, but it’s best to keep it simple right away.
- There is a special flap on the hole where the juice comes from. Either set your glass down so that the last drops don’t drip onto the countertop.
