How to avoid clogging during use of centrifugal juicer

As a key component of modern kitchen appliances, centrifugal juicers are widely favored by families and health enthusiasts for their efficient and convenient juice extraction capabilities. However, equipment often faces clogging problems during use, which not only significantly reduces juice extraction efficiency, but may also affect the taste and quality of the juice, and even cause potential damage to the internal structure of the juicer, thus shortening its service life.

Analysis of causes of blockage
Clogging of centrifugal juicers mainly results from the following aspects: improper handling of ingredients, clogged filter, blade wear and improper operation. First of all, if the ingredients are too large or too hard and are not cut properly, such as unchopped apple cores or carrot pieces, they can easily get stuck in the feed port or filter of the juicer, causing blockage. Secondly, the filter will accumulate a lot of pomace and dirt after long-term use. If it is not cleaned in time, it will inevitably cause the filter to become clogged, which will directly affect the juicing effect. In addition, the degree of blade wear will also affect the efficiency of juicing. Severely worn blades will be difficult to effectively chop ingredients, thereby increasing the risk of clogging. Finally, improper operation methods are also important factors leading to clogging, such as putting in too many ingredients at one time or not operating according to the user manual.

Precautions
Food preprocessing
To avoid clogging, users need to properly pre-process the ingredients before using the centrifugal juicer. For larger fruits and vegetables, it is recommended to cut them into small pieces or strips so that the juicer can process them more efficiently. At the same time, avoid putting hard ingredients or ingredients with hard cores directly into the juicer, such as apple cores and pear cores, to avoid damage or blockage of the equipment.
Clean the filter regularly
The filter is the core component of the centrifugal juicer, and its degree of blockage directly affects the juice extraction effect. Therefore, users should clean the filter regularly to remove residual pomace and dirt. After each use, it is recommended to rinse the filter with clean water and scrub gently with a soft brush to ensure it is unobstructed. For juicers that are used frequently, it is recommended to perform a deep cleaning once a week, using a specialized fruit and vegetable cleaning agent or a white vinegar solution to soak the filter to remove stubborn stains and odors.
Check blade wear
The degree of blade wear directly affects the juicing effect of the juicer and the risk of clogging. Therefore, users should regularly check the wear of the blade. If serious wear is found, replace the blade with a new one in time. The new blades chop ingredients more efficiently and reduce the risk of clogging. When replacing the blade, make sure its model and specifications match the juicer to avoid equipment damage or poor juice extraction due to mismatch.
Reasonably control the amount of food input
To avoid clogging, users should reasonably control the amount of food input when using the juicer. Adding too many ingredients at once can overload the juicer, increasing the risk of clogging. It is recommended that users add ingredients in batches and the amount added each time should be moderate to ensure the stable operation of the juicer.
