Cold Press Juicers work fundamentally different from the centrifugal juicers. Let’s explain why that is.

When you use a traditional juicer, or ‘centrifugal juicer’, the blades inside the mechanism spin at a fast rate against a filtering device, pushing the juice through. This is quite convenient and quick, but it comes at a cost - the metal blades get hot, and the heat produced causes the oxidation and destruction of a number of enzymes and nutrients, effectively getting rid of a lot of the ‘goodness’ of the fruits or vegetables. The juice might taste good, but you’re not benefiting from all of the natural nutrition of the fruits and veggies.

Cold Pressed Juicers, and specifically the BioChef Axis Cold Press Juicer, masticates and presses the fruit and veggies using high amounts of pressure. The result is that this keeps more of the antioxidants, live enzymes, nutrients, and good stuff intact, just ‘pressing’ out the juice. There’s no heat, and so less potential damage to the nutrient content of the fruit or vegetables as it all takes place at low heat, hence ‘cold pressed’.

The other thing to consider is that when you use a cold press juicer, you can use a range of veggies and extract all the goodness from them, including greens like kale, spinach, bok choy, celery and more. With using centrifugal juicer, juicing greens can be quite wasteful as there is a lower yield. Getting a cold-pressed kale juice with a little ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass makes for a delicious and healthy start to any day.

It’s always worth making the cold pressed juice yourself, as it has a short shelf life and by the time you’ve bought it in a store, it could already be past its best. In some cases, ‘fresh’ juices have been shown to be up to 45 days old by the time they reach their sell-by date on the shop shelves.

How does the BioChef Axis Masticating Cold Press Juicer Work?

The Axis cold press juicer by BioChef uses a three stage augur system that masticates your fresh produce extracting maximum yields leaving the pulp ultra dry. The BioChef Axis cold press juice extractor takes cold press juicing to where it should be, allowing you not only to produce these juices yourself, but also producing fresh sorbet and nut milk - an excellent alternative to dairy milk which contains all the natural goodness of nuts, such as selenium, magnesium, calcium, iron potassium.

But it’s not just about juice - the easy-clean, easy-use design of the product includes BPA free plastic, food-safe polymers and stainless steel, and a 60RPM, quiet-yet-powerful motor, with a 20-year motor warranty and 10-year parts and labour. This all means that the BioChef Axis cold press juice machine is an excellent choice for you and your family’s health, allowing you to benefit from the full goodness of nature, without having to purchase cold-pressed juices at a high price from a specialist store.

So if healthy, pressed juice, made with the highest quality materials and without heated pasteurisation appeals to you, then it’s time to invest in a BioChef Axis cold press juicer.
