Abstract
A juicer having a stationary cutter and a rotary cutter is provided to fully grind fruit or vegetable fed into the juicer so that as much juice as possible is produced from the ground fruit or vegetable. The rotary cutter is mounted in a strainer basket and fixed onto a main shaft of an operating motor of the juicer so as to rotate along with the main shaft when the motor is started. The stationary cutter is fixedly connected to a lower end of a feed tube downward extended from a top cover of the juicer to closely locate above and face against the rotary cutter. The stationary and the rotary cutters are provided on lower and upper surfaces, respectively, with a plurality of cutter blades at an inner area and a grinding zone around an outer peripheral area. Any fruit or vegetable fed into the juicer via the feed tube is first ground between the two cutters by the cutter blades and any partially ground fruit or vegetable is then centrifugally moved to the peripheral grinding zones for further grinding to produce more juice before the resulting pulp is discharged from the juicer.
