How to Make Your Own Hydraulic Juice Press

Hydraulic juice presses are cold-press juicers that use pressure instead of heat to extract juice, keeping more vitamins and enzymes intact to produce more nutritious juice.

To use a hydraulic juicer, first place your produce in a cloth or bag secured within the pressing plate. Next, use a hydraulic jack to raise and lower the frame beam with pressure by raising and lowering it using your frame beam as you raise and lower.

1. Build the Frame

This hydraulic juice press makes it possible to extract even more juice from leftover pulp generated from centrifugal or masticating juicers, forcing out more nutrients that would otherwise 'adhere' to fibers and remain behind by traditional machines. Inspired by Dr. Gerson's rigorous standards for his juice therapy program, it allows users to extract even more from leftover pulp with this two-stage Norwalk juicer which passed its rigorous inspection process.

Hydraulic juice presses use thousands of pounds of pressure to ensure every drop of fruit and vegetable juice contains maximum nutritional benefits. By eliminating heat exposure which oxidizes vital vitamins as well as any unnecessary substances such as pesticides or residue, these machines produce a much healthier juice which keeps longer than standard options.

2. Build the Basket

This hydraulic juice press machine is ideal for small juice bars or selling directly to customers at a farm stand. Capable of producing up to 80 gallons per hour of cold-pressed juice, it ensures all its beneficial nutrients remain extracted - unlike centrifugal juicers which create heat which oxidizes nutrition over time.

Bladder presses use a rubber bladder that expands with water pressure, pressing against the sides of an enclosure known as "basket." This design differs from wooden basket ratchet presses by eliminating the need to tumble and crush grapes, which can result in bitter tannins or harsher press fractions.

Pneumatic bladder presses offer higher fill capacities than basket presses and often feature more efficient drainage, yet can sometimes sacrifice quality in favour of speed. Therefore, they make an excellent choice when high production is prioritized over extraction quality.

3. Build the Pressing Element

With this press you can make cold-pressed juices that are much more nutritionally dense than those produced using centrifugal machines. These juices contain abundant minerals, vitamins, and enzymes separated from pulp by hydraulic pressure for easy absorption by our bodies.

Welles press makes cleaning up easy; juice drained from it drains into a drip tray that can be lifted and lowered using an integrated handle on its side for effortless juicing of whole produce.

Juice produced using this process is first processed through a triturating or grinder mechanism on one side, before being put into a cloth bag and pressed through an electric hydraulic press on the other. As this requires three separate steps for every pint produced, it makes this method unsuitable for Gerson Therapy juicing.

4. Build the Drip Tray

The Welles Juice Press (commonly known as the People's Juice Press) is a manual juicer using two tons of hydraulic pressure to extract every drop of juice from fruits and veggies. Lab tests show this method to be the best for maintaining nutrients; in comparison with centrifugal or masticating juicers.

Pressing produce requires placing it into a pressing cloth and raising it with a jack handle, forcing juice out of pulp fibers into a drip tray below. From here, the juice can then be drained into a collection bucket or pan for storage - as no heat is involved, its shelf life should extend up to three days or more while also maintaining maximum nutritional value since pressed vegetables have their bio-available nutrients removed from them.

5. Build the Hydraulic Jack

Hydraulic juice presses utilize a bottle jack to apply up to five tons of pressure for extracting juice from whole fruits and vegetables while pressing pulp into a drip tray for later collection.

This multifunctional machine serves as a food processor, coffee grinder, nut butter maker and milling machine - and cleaning up is super straightforward!

Cold pressed juices have become an increasingly popular wellness trend, thought to contain more nutrients than centrifugal or masticating juicers due to not producing heat.

This hydraulic juice press combines the benefits of both centrifugal and masticating juicers into one. It has been proven to outperform traditional juicers when it comes to nutrient retention; Dr. Gerson himself recommended it for his alternative cancer treatment program.
