The invention provides a centrifugal juicer (10) with a removable container, or bin, (32) for collection of the unwanted pulp generated by the juicing process. A macerator (22) is located in a working zone (20) of the juicer, and the pulp is thrown upwardly and outwardly away from the macerator, and exits through a letterbox-like aperture (34) which aligns with a filler aperture (36) in the bin when the bin is placed correctly for operation of the juicer. The bin (32) is slidably movable towards and away from the juicer and is open-topped; the bin being covered during operation by a roof member (38) which extends outwardly from the juicer. The bin (32) is provided with an upper bridging member (40), above the filler aperture (36); the bridging member (40) having a surface adapted to slide in contact with, or closely adjacent, the underside of the roof (38), thereby to wipe pulp deposits from the roof when the bin (32) is slid away from the juicer (10) for removal. The wiping surface of the upper bridging member (40) may be shaped or configured to enhance the wiping action. The letterbox-like exit aperture (34) from the working zone (20) of the juicer may be provided with side walls and a base wall, protruding through the filler aperture (36) into the bin (32), thereby creating a chute intended to assist in directing pulp into the bin, and the juicer (10) may be provided with a safety interlock configured to render the macerating device immobile unless the bin (32) is operationally installed to the juicer.
