The market for household appliances for the kitchen is simply replete with imported brands. But gardeners and lovers of juices from stone fruits still invariably love domestic juicers. Four (1 Belarusian and 3 Russian) juicers are in greatest demand:
- Rossoshanka is a Belarusian manufacturer of MEZ.
- Salute - LLC Penzmash, Penza.
- Neptune - Neptune LLC, Stavropol.
- Summer resident - JSC "Spectrum Instrument", Kursk.
This is because such imported devices are designed for small volumes - a fresh decanter of fresh juice for breakfast. But if you need to harvest dozens or even hundreds of liters of apple juice within a few days, only domestic models can master this.
It is expected that such a technique should meet the following requirements:
- Possibility to immerse products in a juicer without preliminary grinding.
- Continuous and long work. Since you have to process a large number of fruits, it is important that the engine does not burn out from overload.
- Automatic discharge of waste materials. This protects the drink from processed products.
The last item is not available in all domestic devices of this purpose. But the first two are well represented in many domestic units.
Juicer Salute
This device process various solid vegetables and fruits. During the preservation of apple juice, such a juicer is simply irreplaceable. But lovers of fresh squeezed juice from berries and citrus fruits do not need it.
Specifications:
- power - 400 W;
- complete rotation of the axis in 60 seconds - 1380;
- juice supply - direct;
- productivity - processes 60 kg in 60 minutes;
- spin efficiency - 50%;
- automatic discharge of waste raw materials - absent;
- case - plastic;
- parts are stainless;
- groove for immersion of products - small;
- declared service life - 6 years;
- the purity of the juice is 92%.
This unit is not up to the mark in terms of quality, but many still decide to support the domestic manufacturer. Mostly praised by the device for its high performance and quality of the finished product. A coarse grater that seems to tear apart apples is the main advantage of this device. The waste material is obtained in pieces, from which a healthy drink is easily decanted, and there are no unwanted fibers.
- assembly - the quality is far from ideal, since fluid flows at the joints of the parts;
- the material of which the body is made is fragile;
- the gutter for loading fruits is narrow, which forces large fruits to be chopped beforehand;
- strong vibration and noise;
- complex cleaning process;
- bulkiness and design.
This juicer has a Belarusian equivalent.
Juicer Rossoshanka
This appliance is a centrifuge juicer. Designed for squeezing juice from hard fruits.
Specifications:
- power - 200 W;
- productivity - processes 70 kg of apples per hour;
- spin efficiency - 50%;
- loading hole - wide;
- automatic reset of cake - absent;
- device weight - 13 kg;
- work cycle - 10 minutes.
This model is considered a modernized copy of the Salut juicer known to many.
Advantages of Rossoshanka:
- high build quality;
- tight fit of all parts;
- high-quality plastic;
- quite stylish design;
- moderate noise level;
- high performance;
- protection of fruit seeds from damage;
- The quality of the juice.
This device is ideal for harvesting juice from apples. It works efficiently and quickly. However, in the process a lot of oilcake accumulates around the centrifuge’s perimeter and this affects the operation of the unit and its productivity.
The disadvantages of the device:
- strong vibration;
- spent raw materials must be removed manually;
- not suitable for soft fruits and citrus fruits.
If you doubt between Salute and Rossoshanka, the following moments will help you make a choice:
- Rossoshanka has a support disk twice thinner than Salute.
- The Russian model has a centrifuge made of solid metal, while the Belarusian model has a welded one.
- Rossoshanka has a higher build quality. In the process, the juice does not leak through the joints of the parts.
- The Belarusian model has a wider gutter for laying fruit.
A similar design also has a slightly more powerful juicer.
Juicer Summer cottage
This model is also created according to a single GOST. Outwardly, it is somewhat different from Rossoshanka and Salut - the drain from it is located below, and part of the support sole is cut out in a semicircle.
Specifications:
- engine power - 280 W;
- productivity - 60 kg per hour;
- operating mode - intermittent;
- built-in reservoir for collecting juice - not available;
- automatic reset of cake - absent;
- device weight - 10.5 kg;
- spin quality - at least 50% for 1 time;
- drink quality - purity more than 90%;
- internal construction - stainless;
- loading chute - wide;
- internal grid - absent;
- work cycle - 20 minutes.
A feature of this unit is the braking function. It is also possible to process tomatoes in it. The grid guides allow you to reduce vibration and noise during operation.
There are some difficulties in caring for this device:
- The main bowl can be washed only by washing with water, since it is bolted to the main structure.
- You can remove the cake only with a spatula.
- Completely get the whole cake can only be done with a centrifuge.
- It will be difficult for a beginner to manage it.
Comparison of the juice extractor Dachnitsa and Salut show that despite the higher capacity of the Kursk aggregate, Penzmash wins in assembly and easy handling.
Neptune Juicer
Some choose Stavropol Neptune. This is another domestic-made juicer for processing a large number of apples.
Main characteristics:
- power - 320 W;
- productivity - processes up to 120 kg in 1 hour;
- automatic discharge of waste raw materials - available;
- juice tank - built-in;
- weight - 8 kg;
- efficiency - 45-50%.
This unit easily squeezes not only apples, but also vegetables and berries.
Advantages of this device:
- Weight is significantly less than that of similar models. Dimensions are convenient - the device is easy to carry and disassemble.
- High performance.
- Even large whole fruits are processed.
- Automatic discharge of waste materials.
- The presence of accelerated rotation with air capture.
- Devices can be fixed to the floor using special bolts.
Weaknesses:
- juice is obtained with pulp;
- the unit makes a noise;
- the grater is quite difficult to clean;
- the spin ratio is lower than that of cylindrical.
Someone may be looking for European counterparts of Russian and Belarusian-made juicers. But such attempts will remain unsuccessful, since in other countries the processing at home of a large amount of the crop is not particularly practiced.
Of course, the models described above are not without flaws, however, for many years they satisfy customers with their high performance. After all, they can easily cope with hundreds of kilograms of apples and other fruits!
I have a Rossoshanka juicer. I use it mainly when you need to process a fairly large number of products.It is rather bulky and heavy, so I do not want to get it again. Suitable for squeezing apple juice. You can immediately load enough apples.
Yes, you are absolutely right and I have the same Rossoshanka juicer. I do not see any problems with it, very comfortable. Well, the fact that it is bulky and heavy is like someone, but yes you can process many products. Any juicers are a very good device.
So our family became the happy owners of the summer resident juicer. It was attracted by the fact that the grater and knife are made of stainless steel, and apples and tomatoes do not need to be cut into quarters, but can be laid whole. We spend all summer in the country, I would never have bought one for the house, it is bulky, and there is not so much storage space. I adapted, and if the juice from the apples is not clean enough, I pass it through cheesecloth and pour it into jars. I cleanse the cake with an ordinary wooden spatula. A good apparatus for processing seasonal fruits, not for everyday use, since washing it is still a pleasure.
Oh yeah! Dad always said that everything Soviet was eternal! "Summer resident" with him. Well, he is comfortable. I don’t! Wash it ... ..this is a whole comedy =) She is big. Yes, she does her job, but sometimes after that - even more work ... ..secondly filter the juices ... well, I just don’t like it! there are few pluses ... although there is taste and color, there are no comrades.
I inherited from my grandmother "Summer Resident" - my assistant. Very pleased with her. Serves us faithfully for many years and has never broken! Good quality is immediately apparent. We had it by the way, my husband and I decided to lead a healthy lifestyle, freshly squeezed juices are now an obligatory attribute of breakfast for us. Yes, and children are also very fond of juices from any fruit. In the summer, she doesn’t rest at all), I make juices for the winter from plums and apricot.
We have a Salyut juicer. Of course, not that modern, not too durable and there is a lot of work after squeezing it, but I'm already used to it. It makes a lot of noise, but it’s not a problem either, but I don’t know how many years without repair and problems. I know that I can count on her, I close so much juice thanks to her.
Oh, I remember, I once had a Salyut juicer. Honestly, the quality is high, the material is durable. Now they’re doing absolutely nothing. As usual, fragile plastic and a low-quality electric motor.
But I have the praised Panasonic MJ-W171P. Now it was already. A hacky motor with hacky wires and bearings began to overheat faster than a beautiful plastic juicer had aged.
I have Neptune. The disadvantages and advantages are approximately the same as that of other models. Bulky, heavy, requires a lot of storage space. To assemble and disassemble, as well as to wash is not an activity for the faint of heart. In addition, it is still necessary to adapt to it. At the first use, all the walls around me were in a cake .... noisy. But!!!! Working and powerful !!! It can process a bunch of raw materials at a time. For example, for an hour I squeezed several cans of tomato juice. In general, I am pleased with her work, despite her shortcomings. I use two seasons. I recommend!
