Juicing system with variable pressing parameters
A juicer cartridge includes a liquid impermeable compartment at least partially surrounding food matter. An information region may be disposed on the liquid impermeable compartment, wherein the information region includes information for controlling at least one pressing parameter for pressing the juicer cartridge, such as a desired pressing speed, force profile, pressing temperature, total pressing stroke, number of pauses, number of press and/or retract cycles, and a distance of a press and/or retract cycle. The juicer cartridge may be used by placing it in the pressing chamber of a juicer that reads information from the information region and presses the juicer cartridge using the information.
1. A juicer cartridge comprising:
a liquid impermeable compartment at least partially surrounding food matter; and
an information region associated with the liquid impermeable compartment, wherein the information region includes information for controlling at least one pressing parameter for pressing the juicer cartridge.
2. The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the information region is disposed on the liquid impermeable compartment.
3. The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the information region is attached to the liquid impermeable compartment.
4. The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pressing parameter includes at least one of a desired pressing speed, force profile, pressing temperature, total pressing stroke, number of pauses, number of press and/or retract cycles, and a distance of a press and/or retract cycle.
5. A method comprising:
positioning a juicer cartridge in a pressing chamber of a juicer;
reading information from an information region associated with the juicer cartridge with a reader associated with the juicer; and pressing the juicer cartridge with the juicer, wherein at least one pressing parameter is controlled using the information read from the information region of the juicer cartridge.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one pressing parameter includes at least one of a desired pressing speed, force profile, pressing temperature, total pressing stroke, number of pauses, number of press and/or retract cycles, and a distance of a press and/or retract cycle.
