BL 27 Manual Juicer - stainless steel

A quality manual (hand operated) juicer that clamps to any table up to 44mm thickness. Made of 304 grade stainless steel that will last a lifetime. Traditional juicer designed for wheat grass.

The BL27 Manual Juicer is not so good at juicing soft fruits and vegetables, however, it is very good for juicing wheat grass. More effort is required for fruit and vegetables, as they must be pushed in.

Used world wide. Now supplied with improved strainer and plunger.

[The BL 30 manual juicer is better at juicing wheat grass; and unlike the BL27 model, can also used for other fruits and vegetables. The BL27 is not very good for juicing fruits or vegetable and is only average with wheat grass.]

This manual stainless steel model is easy to clean, and will not blemish like cast iron models.

• 304 grade stainless steel. Acid / alkaline resistant
• Easy to assemble and disassemble, good looking polished finish
• Wheat grass juicing is renown for increased well being
• Exceptionally well crafted unit
• 30ml wheat grass = 2kg mixed vegetables in nutritional content
• 5 year warranty
• Made in China

2010, January. Mr Douglas Coulter, Fort Bragg, California, United States of America.
"Juicer [BL30 Manual Juicer] just arrived today and it looks great, did not have good veggies to try but some older stuff came out quite nice.

Its built like a truck and will try some wheatgrass tomorrow."

"Hi

Received my juicer this morning at 7.30 am. Unbelievable. Your service is second to none

2009, June. Dr G. L. Rao, Canberra City, ACT, Australia.
"Dear Friend,

Thanks. This is the fastest response I ever had from a business. Good on you. I will buy a juicer from you. At present I am overseas. I will contact you again when I return to Australia.

Thanks once again,

G. L. Raojust"

"Thank you for offering the large manual juicer, I am an environment conscious person, and value being able to run on 'banana power' rather than on electricity. Many thanks, Aimee"

Most juicers available through retail outlets (e.g. Panasonic, Breville, Black & Decker, Waring Health, Acme, Omega 4000, Jack LaLanne etc) are 'high speed centrifugal juicers', with speeds ranging between 1,000 rpm through to 30,000 rpm. Their main purpose is to produce juice as fast as possible, by cutting / shredding your produce at extremely high speeds. The result is generally an oxygenated juice that is heated at a molecular level, subsequently shortening the life of the juice to varying degrees. Most high speed juicers require regular pulp removal and cleaning, which can be annoying.

High speed centrifugal juicers are not true juice extractors, as the resultant juice also contains finely cut / shredded produce 'blended' into it, often giving the illusion of a higher juice extraction rate. Thus many 'high speed centrifugal juicers' are in reality a cross between a 'juice extractor / blender.' Although they cannot extract a 'living juice', they certainly can produce a "fast food" juice. High speed centrifugal juicers tend to suit busy people or 'beginners' who are happy with a basic quality blended juice.

Cold Press Masticating Juicers ~ Up to 200 rpm:

We chew our food at about 30 to 60 chews per minute via a cold press masticating process, thus insuring maximum nutrient availability. If our mouths were to imitate high speed centrifugal juicers, we would be chewing at an incredible 1,000 to 30,000 bites per minute... That is rather unnatural.

Some discerning customers insist on using only 'Cold Press Juicers' with speeds ranging from 70 to 200 rpm. Cold press juicers are purpose built machines that extract a high quality 'living juice' for maximum well-being.

juic·er (jsr) n.

An appliance that is used to extract juice from fruits and vegetables.

liv·ing (lvng) adj

1. Possessing life
2. In active function or use
3. Of persons who are alive
4. Relating to the routine conduct or maintenance of life
5. Full of life, interest, or vitality.

juice (js) n.

1. A fluid naturally contained in plant or animal tissue: fruit juice
2. The liquid contained in something that is chiefly solid
3. A substance or quality that imparts identity and vitality; essence.

Single gear juicers have an auger (i.e. single gear) in the juicing chamber, which extracts a high quality 'living juice' in three stages:

1. The auger takes a 'bite' of the fruit or vegetable with each revolution;
2. it then crushes (cold press) the produce at a very low speed, thereby preserving the maximum amount of nutrients;
3. and extracts an ultra high quality 'living juice.'

In summary, single gear juicers:

1. Are economical and parts are inexpensive to replace;
2. are excellent for both beginners and experienced 'cold press juicing' advocates;
3. extract the same quality juice as their 'twin gear' counterparts;
4. have a slightly lower extraction rate than 'twin gear' juicers;
5. will not last as long as the higher precision 'twin gear' juicers.

Twin gear juicers have two gears (i.e. twin gear) in the juicing chamber, which extracts a high quality 'living juice' in three stages:

1. The twin gears continually 'cut' the fruit or vegetables as the gears revolve;
2. then crushes (cold press) the produce at a very low speed, thereby preserving the maximum amount of nutrients;
3. and extracts an ultra high quality 'living juice.'

In summary, twin gear juicers:

1. Are higher precision machines utilising high quality stainless steel gears, hence are more expensive 'top shelf' units;
2. are excellent for experienced 'cold press juicer' professionals;
3. extract the same quality juice as their 'single gear' counterparts;
4. have a higher extraction rate than 'single gear' juicers;
5. will last longer than the economy 'single gear' juicers.

It is recommended that you drink at least 250 ml's of fresh living juice each day:

Although eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state does provide a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, much of their goodness is locked in the fibre which is expelled from your body. However, you can obtain additional benefits from them when they are juiced, especially with a quality: low r.p.m. - cold press type - non-centrifugal juicer.

When you juice fruits, vegetables and etc., their goodness is released from the fibre and you are able to drink their highly concentrated nutrients, which are then able to enter your bloodstream very quickly and efficiently.

For Maximum Benefit:

It is recommended that you swirl the juice around in your mouth a little, thereby mixing your living juice with your salvia, which aids in a more complete digestion. This is especially applicable to carrots, as in their normal state carrots require considerable chewing. Drinking fresh juice before a meal often reduces hunger at meal time.

Never put the pulp back into the juicer, it will damage the screen and makes void the warranty!

Cold press juicers are excellent for juicing vegetables or a combination of vegetable and fruit.

Cold press juicers often struggle with soft fruit such as pineapple. (The LexSun Standard Juicer and LexSun Deluxe Juicer cope with sloppy fruit the best.)

When juicing a lot of soft fruit such as pineapple or watermelon, simply feed slower. Adding some carrot, beetroot or celery also helps prevent clogging.

When juicing apples, Granny Smith apples (or similar) are best, as they are a hard fruit and contain more juice. Red apples are not suitable for cold press juicers.

Juice backing up the chute? In 99.9% of the cases where the juice backs up the chute and the juicer is not operating as good as it once was, it is because the tiny holes on the juicing screen have become progressively clogged after repeated use, and normal washing is not always sufficient to remove the dirt. Solution: Soak the part/s in a dessertspoon of Ezy Kleen powder and warm / hot water overnight; rinse in water the following morning and the juicer will operate like new.
