How does the design of an electric citrus juicer affect the juicing results

As a core device in modern kitchens, the design of the juicing mechanism of an electric citrus juicer has a significant impact on juicing efficiency, juice quality and user experience.

Basic principles of juicing mechanism
The juicing mechanism of an electric citrus juicer relies mainly on physical principles to effectively extract the juice from the fruit through a series of steps. The juicing process is generally divided into three key steps:
Cutting: Before juicing, the machine cuts the fruit to increase the surface area for juicing. This process is usually implemented in high-end juicers to improve the efficiency of the subsequent squeezing stage.
Squeezing: This step is the core of the juicing process. The electric citrus juicer squeezes the juice out of the pulp by rotating or squeezing. The force and method of squeezing directly affect the extraction rate and taste of the juice.
Filtering: After juicing, the juice needs to pass through a filtration system to remove the pulp and seeds to ensure the clarity and purity of the juice. The design of the filtration system is crucial to the final quality of the juice.

Different types of juicing mechanisms
There are two main design types of electric citrus juicers: rotary (conical juicer) and press (cold press).
Rotary juicer: This design uses a conical juicer head, the fruit is placed on the juicer head, and the machine squeezes out the juice through electric rotation. Rotary juicers are easy to operate and fast, suitable for daily home use. However, due to the high-speed rotation, air may be introduced, causing the juice to oxidize, thus affecting the taste and nutrients.
Pressed juicer: This design uses a pressing mechanism to extract juice by applying pressure. Pressed juicers perform well in juice extraction efficiency, while effectively reducing oxidation, and can better retain nutrients and flavor. Although the price is relatively high and the operation is complicated, for users who pursue high-quality juice, the press design is undoubtedly a more ideal choice.

Juicing head design
The juicer head is an important part of the electric citrus juicer, and its design directly affects the juicing effect. High-quality juicer heads are usually made of food-grade materials and have wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties. The size and shape of different types of citrus fruits should be considered when designing, and a conical design is usually used to better accommodate various fruits.
Adjustable juicing head: Some high-end models of juicers are equipped with adjustable juicing heads. Users can choose the right juicing head according to the size of the fruit to improve juicing efficiency.
Multifunctional juicing head: Modern designers have begun to focus on the development of multifunctional juicing heads that can adapt to different types of fruits and even be used to extract other juices, thereby increasing the diversity and applicability of the product.

Design of the filtration system
The filtration system plays a vital role in the juicing process and directly affects the purity and taste of the juice. A well-designed filtration system can effectively remove the pulp and seeds in the juice, ensuring that users get clear juice.
Filter material: The material of the filter is usually stainless steel or high-strength plastic, which is corrosion-resistant and durable. The aperture design is also crucial. A fine-pore filter can remove more pulp, but it may cause a decrease in juicing efficiency. Therefore, when designing a filtration system, it is necessary to find a balance between juice purity and juicing efficiency.
