In modern kitchens, electric juicers play an indispensable role, and their performance is directly related to the quality and efficiency of juice extraction. As one of the core components of a juicer, the durability of the blade is particularly important. The durability of the blade not only affects the service life of the equipment, but also has a profound impact on the overall user experience of consumers.
Material selection
The material of the blade is the main factor that determines its durability. High-quality blade materials can significantly improve the sharpness of the blade, while enhancing its wear and corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel: Stainless steel is the most commonly used material in electric juicer blades. Its excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance make it widely used in various types of juicers. High-quality stainless steel blades can effectively resist the erosion of acidic and alkaline substances and are suitable for squeezing a variety of fruits and vegetables. In addition, the smooth surface of stainless steel is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring food safety while improving ease of use.
High carbon steel: High carbon steel blades excel in sharpness and cutting performance, and are particularly suitable for handling harder ingredients. However, its easy rusting characteristics limit its application in juicers. If high-carbon steel is used, it is necessary to consider adding a surface coating to improve its corrosion resistance and ensure the stability of the blade in long-term use.
Alloy material: Some high-end juicer blades are made of alloy materials. These materials have been specially treated to significantly improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance while maintaining sharpness. Such blades usually have a longer service life and are suitable for high-frequency use environments.
Heat treatment process
The heat treatment process of the blade has a significant impact on its durability. Through heat treatment, the internal structure of the material can be changed, thereby improving the hardness and wear resistance of the blade.
Quenching: Quenching is the process of heating the blade to a high temperature and then cooling it rapidly. This process can significantly improve the hardness of the blade. The quenched blade is not easy to wear during the cutting process, thereby extending its service life.
Tempering: Tempering is the process of reheating the quenched blade to reduce the brittleness of the blade and improve its toughness. The tempered blade is not easy to break during use, can withstand greater pressure and impact, and ensure stability under high-intensity use.
Surface treatment technology
The surface treatment technology of the blade is a key link in improving durability. By applying special treatment to the surface of the blade, its wear and corrosion resistance can be effectively enhanced.
Coating technology: Applying a layer of wear-resistant material, such as ceramic coating or polyurethane coating, on the surface of the blade can significantly improve the wear and corrosion resistance of the blade. This coating forms a protective film that reduces the friction between the blade and the food, thereby extending the service life of the blade.
Electroplating technology: Electroplating is a technology that deposits a metal layer on the surface of the blade by electrochemical methods. Through electroplating, the blade can obtain good rust and wear resistance, further improve its durability, and ensure stable performance in various environments.
