Q. How does it work as juicer?
A. Matstone juicing parts include the PUSHER, DRUM, FEED TUBE, AUGER, JUICING SCREEN, DRUM CAP, JUICING NOZZLE, CONTAINERS and SIEVE. When you put the materials in the feed tube and push them with the PUSHER, they will go directly to the AUGER, screw shaped made of POLYCARBONATE and MELAMINE that rotates at 80 RPM. The JUICING SCREEN is set-up at the end of the auger. When the auger rotates, the fruits and vegetables that are being extracted are crushed against the wall of the juicing screen and in the process the juice is extracted. The juice then goes out of the juice outlet while the pulp goes out of the pulp outlet. The container with the sieve receives the juice while the other container receives the pulp.
For grinding and other functions, the MINCING CONE and MINCING NOZZLE are used. The materials being ground or minced now comes out of the pulp outlet. |
Q. How is the Matstone different from blenders?
A. Matstone separates the pulp from the juice while the blender mixes the pulp and the juice. Blender produces blends or smoothies.

Q. What type of juicer is it?
A. It is auger machine type. It breaks down the tissues of the fruits and vegetables and squeezes them against the juicing screen (It is like CHAMPION Juicer; however, keep in mind that Champion juicer is masticating type, operates at 120 rpm and can not juice leafy vegetables effectively). |
Q. What are the differences between Matstone juicer and centrifugal juicer?
A. Matstone juicer operates at low speed while centrifugal juicer operates at very high speed. Further, centrifugal juicers use shredder disk/grater that rotates at the minimum speed of 3500 and is usually very loud. |

Q. What is the importance of low speed?
A. If you juice using low speed juicer, you get the optimum vitamins and sensitive enzymes the fruits and vegetables have because of the following reasons:
1. It does not oxidize the juice
2. No heat is created
We all know that vitamins and enzymes are very sensitive to heat, air and light. Low speed juicer minimizes the exposure of vitamins and enzymes to heat and air so minimal damage is created to them.

Q. What is the REVERSE button for?
A. There are times that the materials being extracted are highly fibrous or the materials being minced are so tough, the machine might get clogged. In this case, press the OFF button, then press the REVERSE button. The materials that have clogged the machine will now be transported back to the base of the auger. After this, press the ON button again to resume to the normal operation. |
