Difference between Centrifugal versus Masticating Juicers Explained


Definitions of the words “Centrifugal” and “Masticating”

The word “centrifugal” is defined as:

·         To move or to be directed away from a center or axis.

The word “masticating” is defined as:

·         To chew or to grind or to knead into a pulp.


How does a Centrifugal Juicer work?

A Centrifugal Juicer is one of the most common types of juicers you will find on the market and is typically designed with a center feed chute where you put in your fruit or vegetables to be juiced.  When switched on, the Centrifugal Juicer spins at high speeds, taking the fruit or vegetables from the center chute, with the fast spinning action bringing the fruit or vegetables to a pulp and forcing the juice out through a spout into a glass or bowl.

How does a Masticating Juicer work?

A Masticating Juicer does not have the spinning action of a Centrifugal Juicer and works at much lower speeds than a Centrifugal Juicer.  Instead, it slowly grinds/squeezes fruits and vegetables much like the action of chewing your food so the juice is slowly squeezed out.
