One of the most innovative juicing systems to come along in the last few years, is this wonderful new Omega VRT single auger masicating style juicer. The VRT stands for vertical as this juicer is a completely different juicing system then any of the horizontal masicating juicers that take up lots of space and doen't do a great job of really getting all the juice from the fruits and vegetables that are fed into it.

What has impressed us so much about the VRT juicer is the quality of the juice. It has far less pulp in it than any other masciating style juice and the pulp is much drier. You are getting much higher yield from your fruit and vegetables. It also can literally do just about anything that will make juice. Wheat grass and sprouts and leafy vegetables like kale and spinach can be juiced as easily as soft fruits like raspberries, hard vegetables like carrots and even citrus fruits. You have a choice of screens depending on what type of fruit or vegetable you are juicing and/or how much pulp you wish to leave in your juice.

Low RPM Juicer, Patented Low Speed Technology System - the Omega Vert uses a unique technology that allows slow, but very efficient juice extraction without heat build-up and with less oxidation.

The powerful motor rotates the stone mill-like screw (auger) only at 80 RPM preventing overheating of juicer parts caused by mechanical friction.

Due to the slower operation less air gets absorbed by the juice, resulting in less foam, and less chance of oxidation of nutrients. Unlike some other juicers, especially the high-speed centrifugal units (they work at cc. 3000-8000 RPM) , the cold process of the Omega VRt 330 doesn't destroy the vitamins, bioflavonoids, enzymes and other phytonutrients contained in produce providing you with a very healthy juice that will be most benefitial to your body.

Self-Feeding Design, Requires No Effort from the User - the produce goes down in the feed tube by force of gravity. The rotating auger will suck in the food pieces, starting to crush them to make pulp which is then squeezed to obtain the nutrient-rich liquid leaving behind dry pulp. A pusher comes with the product but it is needed only when you juice wheatgrass or green leaves. The Omega Vert juicer, is ideal for elderly people who suffer from arthritis and cannot exert sufficient power some gear-type juciers require when feeding the produce.

Strong Auger, Made of GE Ultem material (a kind of highly-resistant resin) - according to the manufacturer the auger of the Omega VRT 330 is 8 times tougher than a traditional melamine auger in other single auger juice machines.

The hardness of the auger ensures long lifetime and allows for high level of crushing power.

Automatic Wiping System - Easier Cleaning- this feature sounds good since it suggets some kind of auto-cleaning mechanism and that is exactly what the silicone wiping blade does with the juicing screen. It remoevs excess pulp from the it ensuring higher juice volume with less effort.

The most important advantage is however for many users, is that the screen, which is the trickiest part to get clean in every jucier, will contain less pulp, thus washing it will be more simple.

Commercial-Grade 2 HP Motor - a single-phase induction type motor provides the power for rotating the auger. The motor is surprisingly silent unlike many similar juicers.

Clogging Prevention - there's a built-in Reverse feature to prevent back-up and clogging.

Silent - many juicers are loud so it is wonderful news that the Omega Vert doesn't make much noise when juicing.

Space-Efficient, Vertical Deisgn - the upright construction results in smaller footprint, so the unit will oocupy less space on a kitchen counter.

Dependable Machine, Solid Construction - the high quality of materials used and the precision engineering ensure that you get a durable appliance with the Omega Vert Juicer that will work without breaking down for many years. There is no 100% faultless product, so should a problem occur, a 10-year warranty length lets you have the juicer repaired without cost (Note: always check the terms of warranty).

Price: The Omega Vert juice extractor is not a cheap juicer but its many benefits are worth the higher price.

Warranty: 10 year. Omega is known for its long warranty periods (some models carry 15 year warranty) and the vertical model is no exception. Such long guarantee time is the proof of exceptional product quality.

DUAL STAGE JUICING PRODUCES HIGHER YIELD

The Omega VRT 330 juices in two steps: in the first step the slowly rotating screw grinds and chews the produce in a masticating process. In the second step the pulp produced in the first phase is pressed to separate juice from pulp. The masticating process breaks down the cell walls, making the vitamins, enzymes and other nutrients accessible and extractable. The result is fresh, natural juice with high nutritional value and rich taste.

The process also allows the juicer to obtain more bioflavonoids, highly effective antioxidants, that lend a darker, deeper color to the juice. The dual-stage juicing provides more juice volume too. The Omega Vert is likely to obtain at least 30% more juice from the same amount of produce than a centrifugal machine and some single auger juice extractors. The Omega VRT 330's self-feeding mechanism allows effortless, fast juicing though you need to cut the food into narrower pieces.

The Omega Vert comes with 2 juice screens: a finer (white) and a coarser (yellow) one for processing soft and harder produce. Use the white screen with smaller holes if you want less pulp in your juice and use the yellow screen with larger holes for a more pulpier juice.
