What should I consider when juicing?
Add the produce gradually, as the auger pulls it in and processes it, and do not force it. Remove coarse and long stems. For produce with thick peels, you can pre-soak it and add it wet. Cut fibrous fruits and vegetables into short pieces.
The juice is cloudy and contains a lot of pulp – is this normal?
The gentle pressing process with low revolutions per minute guarantees the preservation of nutrients; fine fruit particles in the juice are normal (a clear, transparent juice is not produced). This also depends on the nature of the produce. Fresh, crisp, and juicy produce yields a better juicing result than stored fruits and vegetables. If there are too many fruit particles for your taste, you can place a sieve over the collection container to filter them out.
Why does the juice thicken and become mushy?
Due to the gentle pressing process with low revolutions per minute, the cell walls of the produce are barely damaged or destroyed. As a result, the substances that prevent coagulation are not released, and the juice thickens due to oxidation and the carbohydrates it contains.
Since there are so many different varieties within fruit and vegetable types, this occurs depending on the combination of substances present in the produce. With apples, a mushy result occurs if they have been stored for a long time, if they are windfalls 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 extract the remaining juice.
What can I do if the drum gets clogged?
During the pressing process, regularly use the reverse function. If pomace still accumulates in the drum and is no longer ejected, stop in time and clear the attachments of pomace.
