Gorenje Juice Extractor JC4800VWY

The slow juicing technology differs from the conventional centrifugal juicing in terms of speed and the method of extracting the juice from the fruit and vegetable cells. Conventional juicers spin the blade at a high speed (1.500 to 2.500 revolutions per minute) to cut the cell walls and release the juice from them. Vertical motion of the slow juicer auger (at 80 rpm) crushes the fruit and vegetables and then separates the extracted juice and the pulp. As a result, there are fewer air bubbles in the juice; the juice is silkier; and juicing temperature is lower which allows the juice to retain more enzymes.

The pulp resulting from the juicing process is collected in a separate container. The amount of the pulp can be set by the user by moving a lever on the font side of the juicer. Enjoy a glass silky smooth juice, or add bits of fruit and vegetables to it for some texture. Do not discard the pulp before trying it in other dishes such as soups, sauces, desserts etc.

Slow juicing also means silent operation without high speeds resulting in more noise. The appliance design with a long feeding tube also contributes to noise suppression.

Despite the slow auger rotation, the motor has to be powerful enough to crush harder bits of fruit and vegetables. Tested at maximum loads, the 200-watt motor has proven the optimal heart of the slow juicer.

The juice container is already full, yet there are still fruit and vegetables in the juicer. What to do? You do not have to switch off the juicer. Instead, just push the cap into the juice funnel. The juice will be collected in the internal container while you fill the glasses of the most eager tasters and replace the container.

Strainer with Fine Mesh

All ingredients being juiced are filtered through a fine mesh strainer that allows minimal amount of pulp to pass while retaining all the nutrients in the juice. The strainer is easy to wash under running water and clean with the supplied brush.

The juicer is fitted with two 0.6-litre containers for the juice and the pulp. They are made of durable plastics free of bisphenol A (BPA) and dishwasher safe.

You don’t have to worry about the juicer sliding out of place while you are inserting the fruit and vegetables into the feeding tube. The rubber feet are designed to ensure optimum stability even on moist worktops.

A high-capacity appliance means a tedious cleaning process? Not necessarily. After use, slowly pour one litre of lukewarm water into the feeding tube while the appliance is operating. On its way to the juice container, the water will thoroughly clean any fruit and vegetable residues. After use, rinse the filter and clean it with the supplied brush.

Safety guaranteed! The juicer will only operate when all parts are correctly assembled and in place. The safety switch ensures safe use without concern about motor starting up while you are adding ingredients, or assembling or cleaning the appliance.
