Lexen Live Enzyme Juice Extractor

Introduced to Australia by JUICERS AUSTRALIA
on January 12, 2006 - after one years extensive testing

Lexen Juicer Mk2


Lexen Juicer - top

Lexen Juicer

A Multi-functional Extra Heavy Duty compact Juicer that easily extracts juice from vegetables, wheat grass, barley grass, pine needles and other leafy greens. Fan cooled motor and strong gearbox.

Also makes Pasta and Noodles, grinds herbs and seasonings, makes baby food, minces meats, makes desserts / ice cream from frozen fruit and much more (see below).

JUICERS AUSTRALIA©™ were the first suppliers of the Lexen Juicer range to customers in Australia and New Zealand. Our official launch day was 12th January 2006.

Lexen Juicer
Note: The main body of the Lexen Juicer is only available in white. The hopper (part #3) is clear in colour; and the pusher (part #4) is grey.

Lexen Juicer
The juicing drum is supported at both ends - another first!

The Lexen Juicer Mk2 is the new standard in juice extractors. This is a powerful masticating type juicer that 'crushes' vegetables, including hard vegetables such as carrots. Since there is no heat generated as in other juicers, all of the enzymes are preserved for a fresh and 'live' tasting juice. This affordable price allows everyone to enjoy the incredible health benefits of juicing.

More importantly, the machine is made of quality parts which will last a lifetime. This is represented by its 12-Year Warranty on its motor and 5-year warranty on parts.

The Lexen Juicer has so many different functions than just a juicer! It makes pasta, nut butters, healthy baby food, frozen desserts and is also a soy milk maker - which makes the price truly unbelievable!

The Lexen Juicer also includes TWO specially designed augers; one for vegetables and fruit and one for wheat grass.

 

Another great point with the Lexen Juicer is that there is no internal screen! When juicing you will notice 'wet pulp' buildup on the screen of the juice cup. This is normal and exactly what you want! Just shake the juice cup, give it a few taps and the juice will continue to strain into the collection cup (included). If you like pulpy juice, just leave the screen off!

The machine is made of non-toxic poly-carbonate plastic and has a stainless steel drive shaft which is sure to last for many years.

Seven Machines in One
Vegetable Juice Extractor
The LEXEN JUICER MK2 can extract healthy juices from carrots, celery, parsley, spinach, wheat-grass, apple, orange, kale, cucumber, ginger, sprouts, and many other leafy greens. It can also extract juices from aloe and pine leaves.
Fruit Juicer
The low-speed screw prevents natural flavours and high nutritional contents from being destroyed.
Seasoning Mincer / Chopper
LEXEN chops and minces seasonings such as garlic, scallion, onion, red pepper, ginger, radish, and many others without destroying their natural flavour and nutrition.
Meat / Fish Mincer / Purees
LEXEN can mince all kinds of meat and fish together with chopped seasonings such as garlic, pepper, and onion to easily prepare for a delicious meal.
Food Mill
LEXEN can be used to make bread sticks, cookies and makes pasta from steamed rice.
 
Why the Lexen Juice Extractor?
1. LEXEN is made of F.D.A. approved poly carbonate and melamine which are semi-permanent and extremely hygienic. LEXEN is equipped with a low-speed mill-type screw which preserves as much favour and nutritional value as possible. (Other high-speed juicers can destroy natural favour and nutritional value of vegetables and fruits)
2. The versatile LEXEN JUICER / Food Mill has seven completely different functions:
  1) Vegetable Juice Extractor
  2) Fruit Juicer (requires carrot or similar mixed)
  3) Wheat Grass Juicer
  4) Meat / Fish Mincer / Seasoning Mincer / Chopper / Puree
  5) Pasta & Noodle Maker
  6) Frozen Dessert Maker
  7) Soya Milk Maker
3. It is easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble for other functions (15 seconds to 1 minute)
4. LEXEN has a built-in "shut-off" control to prevent overheating (should it ever occur), and can be restarted when it has cooled down. You don't need to worry about overheating!

Reasonably Efficient - top

The Lexen Juicer Mk2 is reasonably efficient at juicing wheat-grass.

On the right-hand side is an actual picture of two samples of wheat grass after being run through two different cold press juicers. The top one is a typical juicer and the bottom one is from the Lexen Juicer. Notice how the bottom sample from the Lexen Juicer is like a piece of rope. It is reasonably dry with most juice extracted!

Lexen Juicer Mk2 - available in white as above
Champion Juicer
Question: What is the difference between a Lexen Juicer & Champion Juicer?
Answer: 1) The Champion Juicer is a high speed juicer which cannot produce "living juice." It is also not suitable for wheat grass.
  2) The Lexen Juicer is a low speed / cold press juicer that produces a high quality "living juice."





Cold press - Low r.p.m. - Masticating - Non-Centrifugal - Juice extractor

  • Also makes frozen desserts, sorbet, smoothies, baby food, nut butters, minced fish and meat
  • Grinds herbs and seasonings
  • Makes noodles and pasta
  • Tip: For faster juicing cut produce into a few long lengths, so they fit comfortably down the chute

  • Juice wheat grass! (includes auger for wheat grass)
  • Juice fruits! (mixed with carrots or similar)
  • Juice vegetables!
  • Make pasta!
  • Make frozen desserts!

(Note: the silver colour option is now unavailable)




Lexen Juicer - Augers - top

The juicing takes place between the stainless steel tip and receiver.

Includes 2 x Poly carbonate Augers with Stainless Steel tip & receiver. This is where the actual juicing takes place.

The orange auger is good for vegetables such as: carrots, celery and beetroot etc.

The green auger is best for: wheat grass, leafy vegetables etc.

(To juice fruits such as pineapple & melon, carrots or similar need to be added or congestion may occur in the juicing chamber.)


Exclusive Features

  • Quick and super easy to clean (1 minute)
  • Simple assembly and disassembly (1/4 of a minute)
  • No Screen To Clean / Clog
  • Stainless steel drive shaft
  • Extracts healthy, pure juice without hazardous chemicals
  • We tested 2 kgs of high quality carrots and made approximately 764 ml of pure living juice! (some carrots give more or less juice, depending upon quality, type, season etc.)
  • Low 76 RPM speed insures the highest nutritional value and taste
  • Living juice tastes stronger than juice from centrifugal and high rpm juicers. This is due to the preserved mineral / enzyme content of the Samson Juicer
  • Excellent for wheat-grass and all leafy greens
  • Modern design
Attachments Included

  • Rigatoni pasta attachment
  • Spaghetti pasta attachment
  • Linguini pasta attachment
  • Wheat grass auger (green)
  • Vegetable & fruit auger (orange)
  • Recipe booklet
  • Tamper / Plunger
  • Juice collection cup
  • Stainless steel removable sieve / screen
  • Waste / pulp container
  • Includes recipe booklet and detailed instructions

Juicing Sugar-Cane - top

The Lexen Live Enzyme Juice Extractor extracts juice by a ‘cold press' method, thus ensuring that the live enzymes and nutrients are not destroyed by high speed friction and heat, as is the case with the centrifugal juice extraction method.

The Lexen Juicer is so versatile that the manufacturer states that it can even be used occasionally to extract juice from sugar cane (the bark and eye [hard core in between sections] must be removed first).

If you require more than one or two glasses of sugar cane juice per week, we would recommend the LexSun Professional Bender.

The ability to juice some sugar cane demonstrates the strength of the Lexen Juicer.

Pros and Cons - honest assessment - top

2 STAR RECOMMENDATION

Pros

  • 100% low speed, cold press juicer
  • Tough poly-carbonate construction, auger etc
  • Entry level cold press juicer - yet very sturdy
  • Multi purpose juicer, i.e. can juice - mince - soy milk - tofu - frozen fruit ice cream - sorbet - puree etc
  • Pulp adjustment gives some extra control
  • Very easy to clean
  • Non staining
  • Inexpensive
  • Parts are also inexpensive
  • Continuous external pulp ejection
  • Summary: A very inexpensive cold press juicer; especially considering the quality of this multi purpose juicer / food processor

Cons

  • Medium extraction rate. Ejects a wet pulp
  • The ultra tough poly-carbonate parts are not dishwasher safe; (however the stainless steel Angel Juicer parts are all dishwasher safe)
  • As there is no juicing screen in the juicer, some pulp gathers on the juicing screen on the Juice Collector Bowl, which must be shaken off regularly
  • Struggles with juicing lots of sloppy fruit such as pineapple and watermelon. To overcome this, simply 1) feed fruit through juicer slower; or 2) put carrot / celery etc through occasionally; and / or 3) loosen the pulp adjustment knob. (The LexSun Standard Juicer or LexSun Deluxe Juicer are better cold press juicers for coping with sloppy fruit)

"Cold Press Juicers" versus "High Speed Centrifugal Juicers" ©

High Speed Centrifugal Juicers ~ 1,000 rpm to 30,000 rpm:

I love readingMost 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

Dr Sandra Cabot juicers

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.

Survival Food - Grass Juice - top

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.

Juice oxidation comparison between a Cold Press Juice Extractor and a High Speed Juicer
"Your body is the most important real estate that you will ever own"
One apple - two results!
Juice oxidation comparison

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!



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 juicers extract 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.

Single gear - aka augerSingle 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 technologyTwin 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.

Benefits of Juicing - top

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.





Juicing Tips - top

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

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

Juicers Australia 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.)

Juicers Australia 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.

Juicers Australia 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.

Juicers Australia 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.
