JUICER
Art.-Nr. 40131
With the current focus on fresh and natural foods, freshly made vegetable and fruit drinks are
becoming a favourite part of our daily diet.
The Gastroback Centrifugal Juicer is designed for preparing such juices efficiently and easily.
Most fruit and vegetables will not need to be cut, as they will fit into the extra large feed chute.
Simply remove inedible parts: seeds, stalks or hard skins. After juicing you may use the fibrous
remainder of your ingredients (pulp) f or delicious soups and sauces or in the garden f or compost.
The Gastroback Centrifugal Juicer is designed for a quick and easy cleaning after juicing fresh
fruit, vegetables and herbs.
