Slow (Masticating) Juicer Strainer Screen is used for separating juice from pulp in a masticating juicer as the auger presses produce against an etched drum. 2004 food contact is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.

Specifying Slow (Masticating) Juicer Strainer Screen Beyond the Standard
- Drum size: Match outer diameter and length to the auger and chamber; tolerances are tight.

- Material: SS316 resists citrus and tomato acids better than plastic or 304 drums.
When Slow (Masticating) Juicer Strainer Screen Is Not the Right Choice
Not for fast, high-volume hard-fruit juicing where a centrifugal juicer is quicker.
