Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of damage to the juicer machine, smelling like burnt plastic and now worried whether the plastic would have been mixed with the juice.
If the plastic smell would have mixed with juice you would smell and taste it making it undrinkable.
So do not worry if the friction was outside and inadvertently you drank the juice.
If you have not consumed it, just throw away the juice and change the container.
