1. What is a “RAF Slow Juicer”?

It’s a type of cold-press or slow masticating juicer. Instead of grinding fruit at high speed like a blender, it slowly squeezes produce to extract juice — preserving flavour and nutrients with minimal oxidation.

2. How does slow juicing work?

Slow juicers use a low-speed motor and screw/auger mechanism that presses fruit/vegetables rather than spinning them fast. This:

Retains more vitamins and enzymes

Produces deeper-coloured, less foamy juice

Yields more juice and drier pulp than high-speed juicers 

3. What are the benefits of the RAF slow juicers?

Key advantages include:
✔ Higher juice yield with less waste
✔ Better nutrient and enzyme retention
✔ Quiet operation
✔ Large feed chutes (often ~75–80 mm) for whole fruits
✔ Reverse function (on many models) to clear jams
✔ Easy to clean with anti-drip and pulp separation features

4. What types of food can I juice?

These juicers are designed for:

Fruits (apples, oranges, pineapples)

Vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, leafy greens)
They may struggle with very hard seeds or dry grains, which should be avoided.

5. How do I clean it?

Disassemble the juicing parts and rinse them under water. Some models include a cleaning brush and a reverse switch to help loosen stuck pulp. Quick rinsing between uses reduces residue build-up.

6. What’s the typical motor speed and power?

Most RAF slow juicers run at low speeds (~60–75 RPM) with 150 W motors, which helps preserve nutrients and reduces noise.

7. Are RAF slow juicers noisy?

No, one of the highlights of slow juicers is quiet performance, especially compared to high-speed centrifugal juicers.

8. Can I juice leafy greens and wheatgrass?

Yes, slow juicers can handle leafy greens much better than traditional high-speed juicers, extracting more juice efficiently.

9. How long should I run the juicer at once?

It’s generally recommended not to run continuously for more than 10–15 minutes to avoid overheating.
