What is a Single Gear Juicer? A Single Gear Juicer operates at a slower speed than a centrifugal/pulp ejecting juicer. However, gear juicers do extract more nutrients from the fruits and vegetables due to the low revolutions per minute (RPM). Once the fruits and vegetables are inserted into the chute, a gear breaks up and chews the fruits and vegetables, which extracts more fiber, enzymes, vitamins and minerals from the pulp. You will notice immediately how dry the pulp remaining is after the juicing process. The dryer the pulp, the more nutritional the juice is. Many juicing enthusiasts choose a gear juicer because the of the expansive types of fruits and vegetables one can juice, including soft fruits and leafy greens such as wheatgrass and sprouts (Exception, the Champion Juicer does not juice leafy greens.). In addition to juicing, a gear juicer can make nut butters, baby food, sauces, sorbets and some even homogenize and make homemade pasta! |
