Oscar have reinvented the single auger juicer by turning it on its end and giving it a juicing screen with a much larger surface area. By doing this they have enabled gravity to push the juice through much quicker than with a conventional masticating juicer, resulting in a slow speed juicer capable of producing juice as quick as a centrifugal juicer with a yield as good as the
Oscar VitalMax.
Oscar have aimed this juice extractor at the commercial Juice Bar market but we can see this juicer being more popular with the home user. It has a small footprint like a high speed juicer so takes up less space on the worktop, it’s as quiet as any other slow speed juicer, has the slowest RPM of all juicers and yet still has a few more tricks up its sleeve.
The Oscar 930 Pro Juicer has a silicone brush that constantly passes over the juicing screen cleaning any excess pulp that builds up, this ensures that the minimum of blocking problems occur during the juicing process. Water can be fed through the machine to clean it in between juices. A silicone seal is fitted to the pulp outlet to squeeze more juice from the fibre resulting in a drier pulp and higher yield of juice.
This machine can juice fruit, vegetables and wheatgrass as quick as you can feed the produce in. Whilst it does not feature a whole fruit feed chamber, the increase in speed over other slow speed juicers certainly makes up for this. The auger is much wider on the Oscar Pro juicer and the outer edge cuts the produce and draws it in to be ground on the larger surface area. There are also certain mechanical advantages to producing a juicer with the juicing parts at the top of the machine as it reduces stress on the motor caused by the parts.
As the Oscar 930 juicer is aimed at the commercial market, it has an excellent build quality which has been constructed for heavy duty juicing and finished in an attractive chrome. Due to this, they have given the machine a domestic warranty of 20 years on the motor and 5 years on the parts, for commercial use it has a 3 year warranty.
Unlike other single auger juicers, the Oscar Pro 930 juicer comes with a juicing screen for juicing harder produce and leafy greens and also another screen for juicing softer fruits like berries and also for producing soya and nut milks. Please note, it does not have the ability to produce pasta, noodles and nut butters as it doesn’t have a homogenizing screen but it can produce frozen sorbets and ice creams.
The Oscar 930 Pro juicer is also produced under the name Hurom Juicer in its native country and the video below shows the Hurom/Oscar juicer being demonstrated.
