Pulp container
The volume of the tank for the oil cake (pressed pulp) installed in the juicer.
While most models with a pulp tank come equipped with an automatic pulp ejection function (see "Functions"), there are some exceptions. Nevertheless, the size of the tank directly affects the duration for which the juicer can be used without having to empty the oil cake residue. However, an increase in capacity significantly impacts the device's dimensions, weight, and cost.
Modern juicers are designed with oil cake containers ranging from 200-500 mL in the most compact models to 3 liters or more in larger ones. The specific capacity is usually chosen by designers based on the unit's total power and performance. However, models with similar performance characteristics may differ in their oil cake container volume. When selecting a juicer, it's important to consider the intended use of the device. For occasional home use, a smaller container may suffice, but for a cafe or bar where freshly squeezed juices are prepared regularly, a larger capacity juicer may be the better option.
Max. revolutions
The maximum rotation speed of the working tool is centrifuges in juicers, conical nozzles in citrus juicers. The higher the maximum speed, the more solid products can be processed in the device (this applies primarily to centrifugal juicers). At the same time, for soft products, a high rotation speed is not always suitable, as it leads to the ingress of an excessive amount of pulp into the juice. The perfect option is to have a speed control in the juicer (see Number of speeds).
Loading opening width
The width of the opening for loading products into the centrifugal juicer. You should pay attention to this parameter if you plan to get juice from large fruits such as apples or pears — if the opening is less than 70 mm wide, the fruits will most likely have to be cut into pieces.
Sorbet nozzle
A supplementary attachment specifically created for producing sorbet, which is a cold treat made from ice or frozen fruit and berry puree. It's important not to mistake sorbet for sherbet, which is a type of frozen dessert.
Nowadays, sorbet nozzles are mainly found in auger juicers (see "Type"), and are designed to grind frozen fruits and berries into a puree. Unlike traditional juicing, the pulp (cake) is not separated from the juice, resulting in almost the same amount of product output as input, but with a different consistency.
Round neck
The round shape of the neck for loading products allows you to load small fruits into the device without cutting them. Round neck juicers have appeared recently; before that, necks were usually made oval, and products for processing most often had to be cut.
Compartment for cord
A special compartment in the body of the device for storing the power cord. Often such compartments are also equipped with devices for uniform winding of the wire, which prevents bending and possible fractures.
The cord compartment is especially useful if the juicer is used relatively rarely and is left idle for a long time outside the kitchen.
