Why is the juice sweeter with the Greenpower?

By increasing the mineral content of the juice, it’s sweet natural flavour is enhanced. The unique twin gear technology is totally responsible for this great benefit.

What is bio ceramic technology?

Bioceramic technology is a process – that of producing far infrared energy. The word “bioceramin” refers to the unique powdered material that is securely sealed around the series of in-line magnets at the core of each of the twin gears. As the gears rotate during the juicing process, the bioceramic material converts the mechanical energy into the beneficial far infrared energy.

Is the Hippocrates Juicer an ion generator?

The Hippocrates Green Power juicer is not an ion generator. It does not generate positive or negative ions. The Green Power Juice Extractor simply opens up cluster of water molecules so the positively charged oxygen atom and the negatively charged hydrogen atom can recombine in a different molecular configuration with mineral within the fruit or vegetable you would like to juice.

How do I clean the twin gears?

When you have completed juicing, there is an accumulation of pulp that you would discard. Turn the juicer back on and run some of this discarded pulp back through the unit, alternating with white table sugar, until you have used about 1 cup of sugar. This polishes the twin gears and removes the stains. Another way to remove stains is to soak the parts to be cleaned overnight in a white wine or apple vinegar/ water solution. Use at least 50 % vinegar (up to 100% vinegar for heavy stains). Juicing a lot of honeydew or cantaloupe can lighten stains as well.

Catch the water that you rinse your Food Processor with and pour it over your plants. The vitamin, mineral and fibre enriched water is better off in your garden as a fertilizer rather than blocking your sink. When you have minced garlic and onion it is especially important to clean the features straight away because of their strong flavour that can stick to the parts for a little while after it has been washed.

Cleaning Living Food Processors is environmental, quick and easy.

There are a number of things to keep in mind here also:

1. Do not use chlorine bleach on the twin gears. The ends of the gears are nylon. Chlorine attacks nylon.
2. Vegetable stains are on the inside of the machine where no one sees them.
3. Vegetable stains are safe chemical residues are not.

What are ‘twin gears’?

The twin gears are unique to the juicing world. They are precisely what they claim to be – gears. Not blades, augers or rotors. The twin gears mesh together at a clearance of a mere 4/1000 of an inch to gently crush, squeeze and grind the juice from the produce, much like your teeth do.

Those “cut out” places along the length of the gears serve different purposes. The recessed area along the gear length more easily accepts fibrous vegetables and herbs like carrots or stinging nettle. The actual “cut out” places are fantastic for cutting the stringy fibres found in celery and other long-fibred herbs. Those “cut out” places are what allow you to put a full-length stalk of celery into the Hippocrates without jamming or clogging.

The twin gears are gears – NOT blades. Because they are not blades, they are not sharp. They work in a totally different way. With proper use and care, the twin gears should last many years with no maintenance.

Can I grind nuts, spices and coffee?

The Hippocrates twin gear can make a nut paste (or add a bit of nut oil to make smoother nut butter). We recommend that you soak hard nuts for around 6 hours to soften and also remove the enzyme inhibitors. You can also grind spices and coffee beans.
