EASY
TO CLEAN
The GREENPOWER KEMPO Juice Extractor is relatively easy to clean
and to carry
MAGNETIC
AND BIO-CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
The KEMPO Juice Extractor uses powerful
magnets and bio-ceramic materials in its Juice Bowl and Twin
Gears, thereby producing fresh juice which can be stored for
longer periods
SEPARATING
PESTICIDES
The KEMPO Juice Extractor filters out harmful
pesticides by extracting the natural juice from the within fruits and vegetables. The pesticides remain in the pulp.
TWIN
GEARS DO NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER
The Jang type twin metal gears do not touch each other
which prevents any possibility of metal scraps caused by friction
to get into the juice or pulp.
AUTOMATIC
PULP EJECTION
Two adjustable pulp inlet caps permit high
levels of juice extraction from a wide variety of fruits and
vegetables.
MULTI-PURPOSE
FUNCTIONS
Vegetables, fruit and some *grains can
be easily ground. By using the optional multi-purpose parts (Pasta
/ Noodle Accessories Kit), you can also make a variety of
pastas and noodles.
LOW
NOISE, HIGH QUALITY JUICING
The low speed rotation (160 rpm) of the
unique, powerful, twin gear impeller and pressing system generates
virtually no heat that would cause denature to the juice. Fruits
and vegetables are thoroughly crushed, rather than cutting and
shredding them into small pieces. (Note:
Small diameter gears turning at 160 rpm have a surface speed
similar to larger gears turning at 80 rpm.)
AUTOMATIC
OVERHEATING THERMOSTAT
The automatic motor thermostat prevents
the motor from overheating.
VERY EFFICIENT JUICER The KEMPO Juicer has
a very high juice yield, thus ejecting a very dry pulp.
TIPS 1: For faster juicing cut produce into a few long lengths,
so they fit comfortably down the chute.
2: Use a light but firm pressure when juicing.
At
the heart of the Greenpower juicers is the Jang type twin gears. These precision
designed and engineered twin gears incorporate magnetic and bio-ceramic
technology with pocket recesses and a specialized cutting mechanism
to separate a living juice from the pulp.
At
the core of each of the twin gears is a series of magnets. The magnets
are alternated between positive and negative. When the two gears are
placed side by side, the positive and negative magnets are also alternated
between the gears, which generate a positive charge, or attraction.
At the molecular level, this means the magnets are creating positive
ions as the gears spin. Surrounding the inner core of magnets is a second
level containing bio-ceramic particles and an outer layer of stainless
steel.
Bio ceramic particles, produced by infra red technology, also
emit positive ions. Magnets in the gears work in conjunction with these
bio ceramic particles. Magnets recharge the bio ceramic material and
the bio ceramic material recharges the magnets. Without this recharging,
the effect of the both the magnets and the
bio ceramic material would be diminished.
As
the gears are spinning, the magnets and the bio-ceramic material are
each producing more positive ions than can be held in charge by either
the magnets or bio ceramic material, therefore many of these positive
ions add more vitality and longevity to the life of the minerals, which
reduces oxidation and keeps the juice fresher, longer. (By Michael
Dye)
Looking down the chute reveals the steel
portion of the gears. This is where all the action takes place during
juicing;
The high precision stainless steel twin gears are engineered with nylon inserts, which guarantees that the stainless
steel gears do not touch each other;
Small
diameter gears turning at 160 rpm have a surface speed similar to
larger gears turning at 80 rpm.
Gear speeds of less than 200 RPM are classified as ultra low speed.
WARNING:When positioning the Twin Gears, be sure to align the dots correctly.(The left gear has two dots, with a space between them. The right gear has one dot that fits between the dots on the left gear.)
Permanent
Magnets versus Electro Magnets
The
Electro Magnetic fields generated by electrical appliances is
very different from the magnetic fields occurring in Permanent
Magnets.
For
example, the magnetic fields generated by a Permanent Magnet are
similar to the magnetic fields generated from the centre of the
earth, which is necessary for all living things on earth. The
magnet of the Kempo juicer is also a Permanent Magnet which is
wrapped inside the stainless steel gears and is not connected
to any electrical wires; thus the minute magnetic field generated
by the gears is beneficial to help keep the juice fresh.
According
to Dr Arthur C Guyton (who discovered Trapped Blood Plasma Protein),
he believes that TBPP is a cause of many diseases. He found that
by moving the TBPP it would help alleviate the pain and or diseases
caused by TBPP.
The Kempo Juicer with its advanced Permanent Magnetic gears
is a superior product which achieves this very efficiently.
Stainless steel juicing screens with poly-carbonate reinforcing
Good extraction rate (10% higher than the LexSun Standard Juicer), resulting in a reasonably dry pulp
Multi purpose juicer, i.e. can juice - mince - soy milk - tofu - frozen fruit ice cream - sorbet - puree etc
Pulp adjustment gives user more control
Very easy to clean
Non staining
Includes instructional DVD
Light at only 6.214 kg's
Continuous external pulp ejection
Summary: The Green Power Kempo Juicer is a very good choice, multi purpose high precision juicer / food processor, as long as it is carefully looked after
Cons
The Kempo manufacturer Green Power is an offshoot from the original Angel Company, and the Kempo Juicer design is based on the Angel Juicer
The nylon on the gears can be broken off if the user does not follow the Operating Instructions exactly. Customers routinely break the gears and they are expensive to replace
Roughly 20% of customers throughout 2008 have complained of receiving their units with cracked juicing screens, or similar parts, which have since been exchanged. At this stage (October 2008) Green Power is not concerned
The ultra tough tough poly-carbonate parts are not dishwasher safe; (however the stainless steel Angel Juicer parts are all dishwasher safe)

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

Paul Adams
2009, July. Mr Chris G., Bargo, NSW, Australia. "I just read on your site the reason you have discontinued the greenpower juicer. What an '&%#@!#$&' of a company they are to have the cheek to blackmail you so as to deny your customers the best juicer available (Angel). If I was you, I'd tell them where to go and on principle would not do business with them for even attempting such tactics.
I've had a greenpower juicer and threw it out after I purchased an Angel juicer from you. The Angel is by far a much better juicer in terms of its construction and the quantity (and probably the quality) of juice obtained. Also, after a while, the plastic on the greenpower twin gears cracks which is not good for a juicer which wants to dominate the market.
I say, stand your ground and '$%&@' them off, for good. On a much happier note, I'm still thrilled with my Angel and the two distillers I bought from you. I hope Bob-Bruce and Ruffles are doing fine.
Regards,
Chris G."

I found your website to be genuinely informative especially with
the comparison table (which was consistent with other websites)
and the testimonials. Then the processing of my order and tracking
was very efficient. I have a business and it is great to have someone
who you can talk to about tracking your order. Although my product
arrived two days later (courier problem) that is still great if
you live in Western Australia. Besides Juicers Australia staff were
easily contactable to follow it through.
Great

juicing with theKempo
Juicer since October 2002.)
2003 July "GreenPower Hippocrates Juicer GPT-E1303" A modified and re-branded clone of the Kempo Juicer KP-E1302 .
A former competitor of Greenpower asked the manufacturer to modify the Greenpower Kempo JuicerKP-E1302 with a slight 'cosmetic change' (i.e. inclusion of a hard to clean stainless steel locking knob placed in the handle), so that the juicer could be re-branded differently, to make a clone of the Greenpower Kempo juicer for marketing purposes.
Thus the ‘Kempo Juicer E1303’ clone was born and is now marketed by competitors as the 'Hippocrates Juicer GPT-E1303', to compete against the original Greenpower Kempo Juicer range.
We choose not to import the Hippocrates Juicer, as it is simply a modified clone of a previous model.

Green Power Kempo Deluxe Juicer:

Pasta & Noodle Outlet
You can form either Pasta or Noodles by simply turning the Outlet around.
The lady above is pointing to the holes that form the Noodles.
High
Speed Centrifugal Juicers ~ 1,000 rpm to 30,000 rpm:
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.
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
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.
One apple - two results! Juice oxidation comparison
Observations:
The ambient room temperature was just 7 degrees Celsius, thus oxidation took much longer than usual;
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 Juicerextracts 100% more juice than the Champion Juicer;
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;
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);
The LexSun Juicer auger (single gear) operates at just 80 rpm, which is an incredibly low speed;
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;
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;
After 60 minutes the juice from the high speed juicer tasted much weaker than at the beginning and did not look very appetising;
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!
Cold Press Juicers are more Nutritious - October 2007 - top
Independent tests have concluded that:
Non-centrifugal cold press juicers produce juice that lasts longer and contains more nutrients,
Non-centrifugal cold press juicersextract more nutrients - in some cases double or even three times more than centrifugal juicers! (e.g. double the calcium etc,)
Juice from non-centrifugal juicers still looked and smelt palatable after 48 hours,
Juice from non-centrifugal cold-press-style machines is more nutritious and stays fresh and tasty for up to 48 hours,
Non-centrifugal cold press juicers are easier to clean, do not have large bulky parts and are a great CHOICE for juicing.

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.
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. Ezy Kleen can be purchased here.
Note: We have found that when using the Fruit Screen to juice
soft fruit such as pineapple, it is best to leave the Fruit Adjusting
Knob either off the machine, or fully undone. This prevents /
reduces any possibility of clogging. Pineapple is the hardest to
juice with cold press juicers due to the natural surfactant in
pineapple juice. If clogging occurs whilst juicing pineapple, put
a carrot through to clear the juicing screen holes, then continue
juicing the pineapple.
Likewise,
when using the Vegetable Screen to juice hard vegetables
such as carrots, we find that it is best to leave the Vegetable
Adjusting Knob screwed right in. This provides the maximum amount
of juice and a very dry pulp.
