This is John Kohler with discountjuicers.com. Today we have a very special treat for you.
I've been getting many customer requests for me to do a demonstration of the Welles press.
This is a manual hand operated press style juicer this is actually one of ways juicing
has been around the longest, before electricity even. So even in the olden days, you know
actually in a mystic Connecticut there's one of the oldest steam generated presses that
pressed apples to make apple juice. So that's how you know in the olden days they made apple
juice, and even winemakers made grape juice to make their wine with the press.
So the presses have several advantages, one of the things that really runs at a low speed,
so there's the least amount of oxidation that's occurring when you're making juice in the
press. This one happens to be hand operated so it's really simple and really easy to use.
Anybody can use a press. So to use a press there's basically two steps
involved in most cases if you have some soft fruits like grapes or strawberries or other
berries then they're going to work pretty well whole in the press. But other fruits
like apples, pineapples, and other things may be better to actually person grind it
up and to have a step one. So many people call this homogenizing and many people might
use say the Champion juicer as a homogenizing or step one before putting the produce into
the press to press out the juice. So instead of using the Champion, because
the Champion does run at a higher speed, it tends to oxidize the pulp more, we're going
to use what's even better than a Champion, we're going to use a Samson 9006 Juicer to
do step one, to do the homogenizing, or basically just to mashup the carrots. If you try to
put whole carrots into the press you might get a little bit of juice but it's really
not to be effective. You really need like grate up the carrots first. You could also
hand grate the carrots with a hand-grater into the smallest, finest shreds that you
can grate into. And that'll are also be a really good first step state say if you don't
have any electricity or even a hand crank juicer or meat grinder just to grind up the
produce. So we're going to do today is we're going
to use five pounds of a baby carrots. I like this because this is pre-measured five pounds
that are washed and ready to use. Without further ado let's go ahead and get started.
The first step is we're going to homogenize the carrots. What I like about this machine,
it runs at a low RPM under one hundred RPM. It's really quiet and plus it's going to oxidized
the carrots the least as we do this step one. What I do want to point out is the Welles
press does come with a press cloth. So you're going to see, we're going to basically going
to pulverize these carrots into a mush basically, it's going to go into this press cloth, we're
going to fold over the press cloth four times and have a little basically a little packet
of pressed carrots in there then we're going to set that into the press, jack up the press,
bring these two plates together and now the press exerts four thousand pounds of pressure
onto the pulp to literally squeeze out all the juice and you're going to get basically
a draw pulp. I can almost guarantee you that there's no other juicer in the world that
will make your pulp this dry. To ensure that you get all the juice out of your hard earned
and expensive in many cases organic vegetables. In addition besides the press cloth which
I think are easier to use, they do have the press bag which is basically a press cloth
that has been sewn on two sides to make it a bag. Now this can come in handy for some
people, but in most cases they can be more difficult to basically get all the pulp that's
stuck in afterwards to clean. So this is available as an optional accessory.
The other thing about this press it that is a very durable unit. It's going to last literally
a lifetime and on that same level it has a lifetime warranty on the on the frame of the
press. So it will last a long time. So without further ado we're going to take our press
cloth, line our bowl with the press cloth. This is definitely going to save you time
so you don't get all the pulp and they put it into the cloth or bag is going to be already
there for us. Turn this machine on, nice and quiet. We're
going to feed through five pounds of carrots to get the pulp. So as you see we're putting
the carrot in the machine. Literally all the machine is doing, it’s grinding up and breaking
up those carrots into a carrot pulp. That carrot pulp contains both the fiber and the
juice. That's very important. The other thing you could do which we might
do a little later in another video, is we can just take carrots and juice carrots in
this juicer. We'll get the carrot juice and then we'll get the carrot pulp. We'll save
the juice and actually we'll drink the juice but then you could take the pulp and actually
then put it back through the press and get further extraction to make sure that your
pulp is sawdust dry, to make sure that your juicer is doing its job. Just a way to basically
get more yield. Looks like we have a nice pretty big packet
here of carrot pulp through the Samsung juicer. Now you don't want to fill the press cloth
too much with the pulp because then it'll overflow and that's not a good thing. So it's
better to do, you know several small badges instead of one super large batch because it's
just going to make a mess. So let's see we're going to let this run for a few more seconds.
Turn that off. We're basically going to pat this down. We
can pull this out a little bit so you can see we just have all this carrot pulp here
and we're going to carefully just fold over the pressed cloth once. And then twice. Wait
and then three times a lady! No! Then we're just going to fold it over you know four times
just like this. And then we have a nice, all the carrot is basically in the press cloth,
so we're just going to go ahead and jack it up. And as you can see we're jacking this
up and woah look at all that juice come out. Now let me tell you something, this juice
that's flowing out of this press is the best juice in the world. All the juicers that I
sell and all the juicers that I make carrot juice, none of the juices are as fine as a
fresh pressed juice. This juice has basically no fiber in it and it does taste like sweeter
and is better and basically because we're doing with the Samson juicer it has the least
amount of oxidation that you'll find out of pretty much any juicer. Now I'm putting a
lot of pressure on this and we're pretty much cranked down as much as I could get it. Four
thousand pounds of pressure on the pulp now. Now what we're going to simply do, is there's
a little turn knob here, we're going to just simply turn that like, not even that much
like half a turn. And you can see slowly what's going to happen is this press plate is then
going to come down. We can take our, basically our carrot press cake out now. And let's take
a close up shot on that carrot pulp man. This carrot pulp is the driest carrot pulp you'll
find. Wow, that's I mean I could take this and I can't even squeeze out, a lot of juicer,
actually every other juicer I could take and squeeze and there would be juice left in my
hand. But not so with this Welles press. This is one of the most efficient juicers on the
planet, literally actually. So really dry pulp. You want to get the most out of your
juice you have to get this Welles press but you must use it. You know if juicing carrots
in conjunction with another juicer for example or minimally you need to use a grater.
So basically so we just emptied out the press cake, the carrot pressed cake out of the press
cloth and now we're ready to reset. So we're going to go ahead and put this press cloth
back underneath the machine. Let's go ahead and continue on. Real simple feed the carrots
into the machine. So it's really easy using the Samsung juicer, and you know what this
is going to be the highest quality that I personally had all year going low speed in
the Samsung juicer at low RPM to create the pulp and then pressing out of this juice.
I'm really thirsty right now, I had a work day and I'm so much looking forward to drinking
this. Oh my god this delicious carrot juice. If you've never had fresh pressed juice, I'd
almost say you got to buy the Welles press to make it, but you know what any kind of
carrot juice is still good stuff but it's especially good with the Welles press.
So we're going to do a couple more carrots here and we'll have enough of carrot pulp
to press our next batch out. So we're just finishing up and making some more pulp to
put into this next pressing. I think that will pretty much about do it. Now I am juicing
carrots today to put in the press but you know the press will also juice things like
green celery, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, but very important when you using the press
is you step number one. You always need especially on the leafy greens. You can't just put leafy
greens in there and then jack it up, nothing's going to come out. You need to masticate the
leafy greens get them chopped up first and then put them in the machine for the best
results. So you just so I just finished grinding up
some more carrots and here it is right there. And once again we're going to try to get all
this centered and a little bit compact in here. So I'm going to use my hands to make
a nice little square in the middle there. Once again you know it's very important not
to make too much pulp when you’re juicing. If you overfill your press bag then you're
going to make a mess. So it's better definitely do a smaller batch there than a larger one
and have it basically blow up on you. So there we go have a nice little block there
and once again we need to fold the press bag over into fourths. So here's one fold there
and these press bags are nice large size. So okay so there's a, bring that all the way
down over there, close it up really good. Then there's fold number two, try to get this
nice and even here on this side and on this side. Here's fold number three pull it over
nice and tight. Then finally fold number four. And we want to make sure that this fairly
tight and centered. We have our nice, all the carrot pulp inside there. Here's the trick
you know you want to take the fold and once you have the folds on the top then what you're
going to take the whole press mixture and put it on the bottom. And if you put the folds
on the bottom they're going to be, they're going to hold in place without you having
to put any fingers in there. So then once again we're going to tighten
up this thumbscrew there which is going to put pressure on the press. Then all we're
going to simply do is we're just going to jack up the press. And yes this is kind of
like jacking up your car. This is four thousand pounds of pressure. Look at all that juice
come out! You know notice that juice, that is a clear juice, this is nature's living
water, fresh water, basically filtered through the carrot with all the nutrition of the carrot
coming out into that collection cup. Wow! You know what and we're almost at three cups
now so we will definitely beat the standard yield that most juicers put out for pressing
five pounds of carrots. So we just got done pressing all they carrot
juice, you can see the final drips. We're going to loosen the thumbscrew. Once again
we're going to lower this out and we're going to take a look at this pulp. Now you know
what, as I said before, this is the driest pop out of any juicer, I don't care, any of
the juicers I sell, any juicer, this is the driest pulp hands down. This is the most effective
way to juice. I mean this is pretty much just dry fiber at this point.
What would I do with this? Well what I like to do is actually mix this in with the dog
kibble. The dogs will eat it, adds great fiber to them. Not a whole lot of nutrition in it
left, but I mean these are just dry, pretty much chunks and blocks. Just fiber, I mean
this is really dry, it's just literally amazing. Some people make dehydrated crackers they'll
add seasonings to this. Put it in their dehydrator, make crackers out of it. Let's see worms love
to eat the carrot pulp and make worm castings. A great fertilizer for your garden. So that's
that. So that's all the pulp generated from five pounds of carrots. This is super dry
pulp once again. You know what the other thing I want to mention
is that we have a pulp free juice. This is a totally pulp free juice. Most juicers on
the market even centrifugal ejection juicers will leave some amount of pulp. This is purely
a pulp free juice and when you drink this juice it just adds to the whole flavor. That
will also show how much more this really yields. So next let's go over the results. We have
two cups here, two pitchers here. This pitcher on this side has three cups of juice. And
this pitcher on this site has three cups and one-third cup or three cups and a third addition.
So for a total of six cups, six and one third cups total, with the Samson single auger
juicer using it as the step one is grinding up all the carrot and the Welles press. We
got started sawdust dry pulp and we got approximately six and one third cups of juice. The Standard
juicer will make approximately five cups of juice, so this is basically an increase of
thirty three percent more juice. So if you want to get all the juice out of
your carrots or any other problems that you're juicing you want to make sure you get the
Welles press as step number two from homogenizing the pulp or if you're using a regular juicer
you could juice and then take a pulp that comes out of your regular juicer and then
press that out. In many cases you'll obtain that extra thirty three percent more juice.
So you could just do that last percentage on the pulp alone and your juicer had already
made the majority of the juice. Let me tell you the juice that you make with the press
is going to taste simply amazing. So I hope you learn more today about the Welles
press and the value and the power of the Welles press on extracting more juice from your pulp
and that's what it's all about. The more juice you can extract the more juice you'll drink
and healthier you'll be. So once again this is John Kohler with discountjuicers.com be
