What should I pay attention to when juicing?
Add the material to the press little by little, just as the auger draws it in and processes it, and do not stuff it in. Remove coarse and long stems. If the material to be press contains a lot of skin, you can water it first and feed it in wet. Cut fibrous fruit and vegetables into short pieces.
The juice becomes cloudy and contains a lot of pulp – is that normal?
The gentle pressing process with low rotation speed guarantees that the ingredients are preserved; fine fruit particles in the juice are normal (no clear, transparent juice is produced). This also depends on the nature of the material being pressed. Fresh, crisp and juicy material produces a better juice result than stored fruit and vegetables. If there are too many fruit particles for your taste, you can place a sieve over the collecting container to filter them out.
Why does the juice thicken and become mushy ?
Due to the gentle pressing process with low rotation speed, the cell membrane of the pressed material is hardly damaged or destroyed. As a result, the substances that counteract coagulation are not released and the juice thickens due to oxidation and the carbohydrates it contains.
Since there are so many different types of fruit and vegetables, this occurs depending on the constellation of substances present in the pressed material. Apples produce a mush-like result if they have been stored for a long time, if they are windfall fruit with bruises, or if the apples are mealy.
What can I do if the pomace is too wet?
You can press the pomace a second time to squeeze out the remaining juice.
What can I do if the drum is clogged?
During the pressing process, operate the reverse function regularly. If pulp accumulates in the drum and is no longer ejected, please stop in time and clear the pomace from the attachments.
