A Twin Gear juice extractor uses a triturating process through the Jang Type stainless steel twin gears which slowly grinds the fed in produce in to very fine particles. This allows more of the nutrients and enzymes to be released and the pressing action of the twin gears, produces an increase in the amount of juice obtained over masticating juicers and single auger juicers.
The twin gears on the Green Power Hippocrates juicer have pocket recessed areas that enables easy crushing of fibrous vegetables and herbs, they sit 0.1 mm apart and rotate inwards at a slow 160 RPM. This action crushes and grinds the produce being fed in without creating any frictional heat. Heat destroys the vitamins and live enzymes in juice which reduces its nutritional value and shortens its shelf-life. Twin Gear juicers ensure you get the highest quality juice, the driest pulp and the highest yield.
Green Power juicer the manufacturer currently produce 2 juicers which are models E1303 and E1304. These are both the same machine, the model number indicates what accessories it comes with. The E1303 comes with all parts required for juicing and homogenising and the included parts are shown in the images below. The E1303 is produced under the "Kempo" brand but it is also branded as the "Hippocrates" in association with the Hippocrates Health Institute in the USA. The difference is that the Hippocrates juicer version has a metal locking clip which holds the front end parts on and the Kempo has a plastic locking clip. The E1304 version includes further accessories for food processing including a stainless steel Mixing Bowl, Pasta & Noodle attachments, Wheatgrass and multipurpose gears and a Wheatgrass and multipurpose screen. The E1304 can be purchased here under the Green Power Kempo brand.
Wheatgrass & Leafy Greens
One of the main advantages of a Twin Gear juicer is its ability to juice wheatgrass and greens in general better than any other any type of wheatgrass juicer. A very high yield of juice is produced with very little foam (foam is a by-product of juicing wheatgrass). Wheatgrass and leafy greens produce high concentrations of chlorophyll, active enzymes, vitamins and other nutrients which purify the blood, aid digestion, reduces high blood pressure and helps with skin problems.
Not just juice
With the Green Power Hippocrates juicer you can prepare many living foods such as fruit ice creams, nut butters, baby foods, soy dishes, fruit sorbets and jams. You can mince garlic and ginger in bulk and much more.
Twin Gear Technology
Twin Gears cut and juice all vegetables including carrots, celery, leafy vegetables and wheatgrass. It is also capable of juicing harder fruits like apples and pears. The twin gears feature a pocket recessed area to easily accept fibrous vegetables and herbs. 3 separate points cut strong fibres like celery so the appliance does not get clogged or jammed. The gap between the gears is 0.1mm (4/1000 of and inch), this combined with its other features gently extract more juice, leaving the ejected pulp drier than other none twin gear juicers.
Bio-Ceramics and Magnets
Built into the core of each of the gears are in line magnets that are said to produce a focused magnetic field of 4200 gauss which affects the juice during the juicing process. As the juice passes through this strong focused field, the water molecules in the juice are broken up to allow the atoms to be recombined into new molecular structures with other minerals such as calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium. This process keeps the minerals in a suspended colloidal form that feeds the body for a longer period of time. The juice collection jug also includes these magnets in the base, this helps keep the juice fresher for longer.
Specially formulated bio-ceramic material is wrapped around the in-line magnets in the gears, which utilises the mechanical energy from the twin gears when they are turning to generate far-infrared waves. Far-infrared waves penetrate the water in the juice and radiates it, preserving the molecules and stabilizing the fragile structure of the juice which further enhances its taste, colour and smell and allows juice to be stored for up to 48 hours
The Green Power juicer combines these two technologies to rearrange the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water molecules, making them more efficient and effective. Nasty tasting green vegetable juices taste become more palatable, this is because the mineral content of the juice is increased which enhances the natural sweet flavours of the juice.
Separating Agricultural Chemicals and Heavy Metals
Did you know that apples have usually been sprayed around 22 times before they reach the shops and commercially grown carrots are often used as a crop to "clean" the soil? The extraction method of Twin Gear Juicers gets rid of about 70 to 80% of toxic agro-chemicals and heavy metals from produce. This is one of the reasons we recommend to choose the Green Power Juice extractors or any of our Twin Gear machines. Otherwise, be sure to buy organic produce for juicing, as you don’t want a concentrated cocktail of chemicals.
The Principle of Dr. Norman Walker
The Twin Gears have the ability to remove a high level of agricultural chemicals and heavy metals through the triturating and squeezing process, according to the founder of the "Living Juice" machine - Dr Norman Walker. The principle is as follows: if leaves, stalks or roots are squashed by using steel plates, stones or wood mortars and squeezed, enveloped by hemp cloth, juice and sap penetrate and only fibre waste remains. The degree of affinity of fibre for agricultural chemicals and heavy metals is so high that they remain together with the fibre waste. This is how the Green Power triturating process can obtain pure juice eliminating a high amount of agricultural chemicals and heavy metals by rotating Twin Gears, crushing vegetables and squeezing pulp through the fine screen that acts the same as a hemp cloth.
