JUICERS AUSTRALIA©™ ceased marketing the Galaxy Juicer in 2002.

You are welcome to view the latest Cold Press Juicers here.

• The new single gear juicer with a patented stonemill-like double rotating screw provides up to 20% more juice and 25% less pulp than earlier models The Galaxy Juicer uses a specially designed heavy duty LG brand motor, which is backed by a 10-year warranty from the LG Corporation
• Comes complete with all accessories

The improved Galaxy provides fresh living juice, containing minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and much more. All of these factors are vital to maintaining good health.

Ask anyone who has a single gear juicer and they will say that the cleaning is a breeze and its great for leafy greens and wheatgrass. However, previous models were not great at juicing carrots and other tough vegetables. When used in this fashion the juice yield and amount of pulp in the juice was disappointing. The goal was to design a single gear juicer that extracted more juice, and extracted more pulp from the juice.

The Galaxy Juicer is designed to extract the maximum amount of pulp free juice from all vegetables and fruits. It was re-designed from the ground up using a motor and gear system from the LG Corporation.

The single auger has a two way action designed to exactly simulate the 'mortar and pestle' used by the ancients. The sieves, juicing bowls and plunger have all been ergonomically designed for western use. The 'mortar & pestle' two-way action of the screw, turns at 90 RPM.

This patented action squeezes out the maximum juice, opens more of the cell wall and separates pulp from juice more effectively than the earlier model single gear juicers.

Ongoing developments have brought us forward from the reliable and reputable Oscar Living Food Kitchen. The result is the Galaxy Juicer which has been finely tuned to extract more juice from produce, resulting in a fine fibre free Living Juice.

The Galaxy Juicer Extractor has been especially developed for Western use, redesigned from the ground up.

The heavy duty LG brand motor is guaranteed for 10 years and assures many years of trouble-free, dependable service. The design of the Galaxy Juicer has been finely tuned to provide 20 years service and comes with a 5 year warranty on parts and labour together with the importers twelve year warranty on the motor.

The latest patented single gear technology means the highest yield from any single gear juicer.

The stonemill - like screw now oscillates from the base and along the stem which enables more of the cell wall of your fruit and vegetables to be slowly opened, therefore extracting more juice, living enzymes and nutrients from your produce.

Superbly extracts a living juice from fruits, vegetables, wheatgrass and all leafy greens using a reinforced juicing screen and improved reverse function which enables continuous juicing.

A Complete Living Food Kitchen, with 8 nozzles allows you to make a variety of living foods such as nut butters, frozen fruit ice creams, fresh pasta, Japanese rice noodles, minced herbs and spices and more.

• Quick and easy to clean
• New and improved stainless steel sieve assisting in pulp free juice
• Larger holding bowls
• Produces a wet pulp.

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.

Cold press juicers are genuine juice extractors that literally extract juice from your produce via a slow speed pressing action, e.g. 'cold press' masticating process.

Because the nutrients are preserved, the juice tastes stronger (much better) and has a much longer shelf-life (especially when refrigerated). These cold press juicers are especially appealing to health enthusiasts, sports people, convalescing patients and the elderly, as recommended by Dr Sandra Cabot.

Many people have been stranded in remote locations and died of starvation, despite being surrounded by various edible foods such as many seaweeds etc.

One frequently overlooked wild food that grows in abundance in so many places - is good old grass!

A major reason given for not using grass as a survival food, is because humans do not have a rumen to digest the grass properly.  But there is another method of extracting the many beneficial nutrients from grass, and that is via a cold press juice extractor. In fact one of the greatest survival tools you could ever own, is a cold press manual juicer, which is perfect for those uncertain times when there is no electricity available.

During times of strikes, pestilence, famine and even war, in most places there is an abundance of grass beneath our feet.  This information may just save your life one day, because although all food supplies may disappear, grass juice can keep you going for quite some time, at least until help arrives, or you are rescued etc.

One upside of living on grass juice for extended periods of time is that you will definitely look like an overachiever of the Jenny Craig program (weight loss program)!  You will also remain hydrated, which is essential to survival.

Observations:

1. The ambient room temperature was just 7 degrees Celsius, thus oxidation took much longer than usual;
2. The first difference that we noticed was that the high speed Champion Juicer required about twice as many Granny Smith apples than the LexSun Standard Juicer, to make just one glass of juice, i.e. the LexSun Juicer extracts 100% more juice than the Champion Juicer;
3. Secondly, the high speed juicer shredded the apples at a high speed, which caused a lot of finely shredded pulp to be mixed in with the juice, slightly similar to a blender;
4. The Champion Juicer cutter operates at approximately 1,725 rpm, which is slower than most high speed juicers (usually range from 1,000 to 30,000 rpm);
5. The LexSun Juicer auger (single gear) operates at just 80 rpm, which is an incredibly low speed;
6. The oxidation process started very quickly with the juice from the High Speed Juicer and soon spread throughout the top 1/3rd of the juice. Within 60 minutes the oxidation was spreading much further;
7. The juice from the Cold Press Juice Extractor eventually developed a very thin layer of oxidation on the top where the juice was exposed to the atmosphere; otherwise there was no oxidation throughout the rest of the juice;
8. After 60 minutes the juice from the high speed juicer tasted much weaker than at the beginning and did not look very appetising;
9. After 60 minutes the juice from the cold press juicer tasted the same as the beginning and still looked great!

Summary:

Cold press juice extractors are a specialty item and usually take longer at juicing compared to high speed juicers; however, the emphasis of cold press juicers is on 'quality', not speed. While the juice from a cold press juicer can be consumed immediately with all nutrients intact, it can also be stored in a refrigerator for days and still remain fresh and packed full of nutrients.

On the other hand, when juicing with a high speed juicer such as a Champion Juicer, it is imperative that you drink the juice immediately after juicing, while the juice is still 'alive.'

Despite the oxidation caused by high speed juicers (which is even worse with higher rpm machines), please keep in mind that it is definitely better to drink a mediocre juice, than none at all!

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 (i.e. the LexSun Deluxe Juicer):

1. Are economical and parts are inexpensive to replace;
2. are excellent for both beginners and experienced 'cold press juicing' advocates;
3. extract the almost 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 (i.e. the Angel Juicer).

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 (i.e. the Angel Juicer):

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 a higher 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.
