7 Richard Hartshorn/Industrial Design Engineering spin-juice extractor At present, juice extractors are arduous to assemble and fiddly to clean. For a person with limited dexterity or arthritis, the whole process can become extremely painful, outweighing the many health benefits of the fresh, vitamin-rich drinks a juice extractor provides. Spin is an exploration into the design of a juice extractor that is easy to clean and use. A removable filter bag takes away the spent pulp and the remaining juice residue can then be rinsed away with water that is spun round by the rotation of the juicer. The solution is better for anyone who has ever shied away from juicers due to the emessf factor.
