Sugar Cane Juicer: A Great Device
From its humble beginnings as a trapiche, which was what the old traditional roller press was called and which was used by indigenous peoples of Columbia and Panama to the modern sugar cane juicer of today, a lot of water has passed under the bridge. The common thread between these two is that they both produce very sweet as well as delightful juices.
The sugar cane juicer is a device that is used to make juices that are a bit sweeter than orange juice and it really contains less sugar than a can of soda but the commercial sugar cane juicer is a bit too expensive to be afforded by anyone who wishes to have one and therefore finding one is not as easy as one would wish it to be.
A Delicacy in India, Malaysia and Singapore
In countries like India, Malaysia and Singapore, the sugar cane juicer is a common table top item due to the fact that sugar cane juice is considered as being a delicacy and thus very popular. Sometimes, even the vegetable juicer has been used as a sugar cane juicer and one such item is the dependable Omega 8005. Also, the VISOR Juicer by L’Equip is another product used to extract sugar cane juice.
But, the MCI-170 is a sugar cane juicer that has the price tag of a commercial sugar cane juicer and is an extractor having a stainless steel cabinet as well as body and juice drum plus a drink taps, as well. This sugar cane juicer can go through around 170 canes per hour and it has an electrical motor of 1.5HP and a gas version is also available.
The MCI-160 is another sugar cane juicer that can dispatch 60 canes every hour and it has most of the features of the MCI-170 though the motor is less powerful at ¾ HP. The Abamaster Sugar cane juicer SCJE has a powerful 1/2HP motor and this is a durable machine which is easy to operate and has a stainless steel body and drums and to maximize torque, it has a reduced gear design.
Another counter-top model is the Sugar Cane Juice Extractor 2000 which is distributed by Zama Enterprises and is a stainless steel unit that is easy to use and it has a removable front cover so that it can be cleaned easily and it weighs a hundred pounds thus making it rather unsuited for a home kitchen.
