Hurom are striding forwards with juicer innovation, and the H-AI is the first ever self-feeding juicer to be released in the UK. The smart hopper design allows the H-AI to operate automatically, using a spinning blade to force ingredients down into the double winged augur. Therefore, the only manual operation required is filling the hopper with ingredients.
On top of that, the H-AI provides some other useful features in the form of a vertical pulp outlet and a 3-Degree juicing chamber tilt. These new features link well with Hurom’s latest Alpha+ juicing technology to optimise the juicing process more than ever before.
The hopper design for the H-AI is one of a kind and allows this juicer to operate without manual aid. It functions through the use of a rotating blade in the centre of the hopper chamber, which feeds ingredients into the augur. The blade rotates at a balanced speed, allowing it to feed ingredients at an optimal rate while cutting them down as required.
The self-feeding design removes the common issues of clogging and overfeeding from the juicing process since manual interaction isn’t required. Therefore, the parts and motor will suffer less wear over time and all juice produced will be guaranteed to have a high nutritional value.
The Alpha+ components found in the H-AI serve as upgrades from the original Alpha technology seen in the HZ and H-AA. They provide specific improvements to the juicing chamber, which now has an inbuilt hex connector that makes the assembly process much smoother. On top of that, the cog that controls the spinning brush and screen can also be removed in these components, making it easier to clean if pulp gets stuck in it. These are the only new features, but the Alpha+ technology is still capable of flawless performance. The augur rotates at a slow 43 RPM, and the spinning brush and screen can still turn separately at 17 RPM. Providing unbeatable yields and significantly less froth.
The self-feeding function of the H-AI allows it to provide a relaxed juicing experience, but that isn't the only beneficial change. The 3-Degree tilt of the juicing chamber makes it easy to get every drop of juice extracted into your glass, and it means that you no longer need to tip the whole juicer. Furthermore, the unique vertical pulp container design allows pulp from the H-AI to fall directly down from the juicing chamber. That allows pulp flow to be much more efficient, especially when used in combination with the pulp discharge control lever.
