I'm sure you have already figured this out but there's a sugar cane stalk peeler that works excellent to strip off the outside bark B4 U put it through the grinder, makes a big difference in your juice. Also, putting a white t-shirt indented around the top of your jar, or, better yet, chez cloth so it's filtered. Enjoy your sugar cane juicer, it's beautiful and saves a lot of time. 😊
I have one just like that but is manual , I am lookiing for a way to install a motor or something , You just gave me a good idea , all I need is some kind of table with a midle base or simething to install the motor
How do you clean that? I have the same one, modified the rollers by adding some acrylic plates on the side where the rod is attached since it tends to rust over time inside there. Also, used some food-grade silicone to seal it. And I removed the round plate on the third top roller and did the same.
It might if I loosened the roller adjustment and ran it through and folded it several times. I’ve got it tightened down pretty good. It slows down and the belt starts slipping if the cane is too thick.
Wanna bet that if you had an aide you could run this on a modified pedal bicycle? You look fit enough, and the aide just has to pick up stalks and feed them in (which you could also do with a hopper, or with clever positioning you could even just do it yourself). If you have oilseed crops like olives or such, see about getting a 2kW Diesel motor and rigging it up.
I don’t. We just kind of put the stand together and had an edger that we didn’t use much and took the engine off of it and grabbed a new belt and welded it together
@@DeHavenRanch I see they at least add a v slot pulley for a belt! Looks pretty easy. I have a honda sitting in my shop, I have been wondering what to do with it. Great video brother man
Hi Guys, Happy to see you are getting into Cane. When you are ready to upgrade to a FoodGrade press let me know. I can give you a good deal. As you have seen already, the press in your video is rusted on the roller shafts already. You deserve better!
Thanks David! We acquired a late 1880’s horse powered one I’m restoring and plan on using. We ended up not doing anything with the patch this year I just cut it all down last weekend ☹️
@@romelcholinas668 many models but not so cheap. You cannot make the same price machine as the mass market recycled steel machine out of stainless steel at the same price.
Amazing video. We would like to show this video on our channel with your permission. We will add your link and your name will also be mentioned in the video. Let us know what you think
.. 1kW, maybe? DeHaven says the motor he's using is a 3 horse, a German horsepower is around 748 watts so 3x0.748 would give you the kilowatt size you'd need, but you wouldn't be able to run such a motor on 120V, and apparently it's not necessary.
It is the cheapest but the problem is on both sides of the rollers it rusts and that rust gets in the juice. The frame is also made out of recycled iron. Cheap ? Yes! Healthy and safe? No. Uploader please show a video of how the inside looks now. Do the needful please. Thank you
David,ive had same machine since Jan.2020,zero rust on the rollers,i use a spray bottle with plain water to wash it off properly after juicing,its the same manual machine that some places sell with a motor already attached to it and they put metal sheets around it,encasing it, with their pretty stickers on the outside and the on/off switch,you dont have to put another machine down,to sell yours,there's room for everyone,some people spend what they can afford to spend 🤷🏻♂️ if the sugar cane is thick,split it,one pass thru,it gets all the juice out,can always fold the sugarcane and pass it thru again,for a little extra juice
The rollers look brand new and it’s been stored outside in Florida. The juice doesn’t touch the frame it goes straight into the stainless steel drip pan and down the hose. I looked at yours, but for a hobby farm that doesn’t juice much cane it doesn’t make sense to pay that kind of money for something we rarely use.
Nice video. I have to plant more sugar cane to have enough to make the purchase worth it. I am also in Central Florida in the Sanford Area. Would love to have a piece of land like that with chickens and other animals. Are you on the north or south of Orlando? I have another video where they used an electric motor and is less noisy.
@@DeHavenRanch I was checking around on UA-cam and sugar cane juice doesn't have much of a shelf life. I see people freezing it. It's best to drink fresh.... But I saw you juiced a lot. Did you freeze some of it or was it consumed within a day or two. How long can the juice last in the refrigerator if I juice a gallon?
@@idanny76 if you are using the juice this machine will last forever. You can cook it down for syrup or add it to smoothies or ferment it if you are into the kind of thing.
Sugarcane juice is so underrated. Its understandable though, sugarcane has a really short shelf life. It starts fermenting pretty quickly after it’s cut. Also! Run the cane 2 or three times through the machine and fold it while doing so. You gotta get out all of the juices!
That’s it does. Has me thinking about getting some sort of copper device to do something with it. When we are going for maximum production we will run it twice, we figured we get about 15% more juice on the second run.

Can you kindly make a video showing how you mounted the engine to it? I would love to see that.
Thanks for making this video. It was very helpful and answered a lot of questions I had !!!
Happy to share!
Hi thanks for the video and the idea of using a motor is a great idea. Just wondering how do you wash it after use?
You can take the cover off and hit it with soapy water and a brush.
Any idea what size electric motor would work?

We used it manually for 3 stalks before making that stand and adding the motor.
@@DeHavenRanch just bought a stand from harbor freight tools, will weld wheels to the legs to make it easier to move and go from there
Hello good video, where can I get one to buy please.
How to set it up if I get the motor and parts.
How do you clean that? I have the same one, modified the rollers by adding some acrylic plates on the side where the rod is attached since it tends to rust over time inside there. Also, used some food-grade silicone to seal it. And I removed the round plate on the third top roller and did the same.
I spray it out with the hose and store it loosely covered outside and it’s been fine.
@@DeHavenRanch Had you tried inspecting the sides of the rollers whether it gets rusted too?
all the videos I've seen has them being peeled, is there a reason you don't?
Takes too long
Will the machine not take one whole stalk instead of cutting up in small pieces? I’m considering buying one for sorghum cane
It might if I loosened the roller adjustment and ran it through and folded it several times. I’ve got it tightened down pretty good. It slows down and the belt starts slipping if the cane is too thick.

Yes I’m sure you could with enough gear ratio!
How much in total it would cost to get one of the cane machine to me in Jamaica place let me know as soon as possible
thanks man, great video
Glad you liked it!
I was looking at this! So glad I found the video. Do you have a video on how to convert it to engine powered?
I don’t. We just kind of put the stand together and had an edger that we didn’t use much and took the engine off of it and grabbed a new belt and welded it together
@@DeHavenRanch I see they at least add a v slot pulley for a belt! Looks pretty easy. I have a honda sitting in my shop, I have been wondering what to do with it. Great video brother man
@@Johnny_Benson Thanks. It works great, and the honda will last forever.
That was pretty cool, how has the press held up after all this time?
Still great! Engine is harder to fire up, probably needs a tune up but nothing to do with the press.
Very good!
How can I get it I am from Kenya and very impressed by this machine
Not sure I purchased on Amazon but they are on eBay if that is available in Kenya?
I bought mine in Aliexpress

Any idea what size electric motor to use if I wanted to go that way?
Not sure about that. This is a 5.5 and it runs at idle, I don’t think it would take much, just might be slower

Not sure, we got this one on Amazon.

I’d like to go electric but I had that engine laying around so we made it work. I’m west of Orlando by about an hour.

One more question... how long was shipping from when you ordered it to when you got it? Im getting ready to order one
I think it was 5 days. I don’t remember exactly
@@DeHavenRanch Thank you. I ordered it.
Do you have a video on the stand you made?
I do not. My buddy and I went to the shop with the juicer and welded it together.
Halo my friend where did you buy that one
Amazon. There is a link in the description.
How many rpm is that motor?
Not sure, we run it just over idle. It was a edger motor
Sugarcane juice is so underrated. Its understandable though, sugarcane has a really short shelf life.

@@DeHavenRanch do it, get all the sugarcane juice you can! That stuff is pure nectar of the gods 😄
...are you sure you're not just running on the choke¿
It’s been a while but I believe the choke was off.
And get dirt and grass in the cane nice dirty taste.lol
Ótimo vídeo parabéns a moenda é top demais
Esse manja, estou aqui pegando idéias!
Cuanto vale
Juice should be flowing in a bucket
My help me missing
Missing what?
हऽऽर हऽऽर महाऽऽऽऽऽऽऽदेव🙏🚩📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
Did you say you broke a juicer?🤣🤣
Sure did! It clogs the centrifugal force kind and our extruder kind it clogged and blocked the dump side and snapped it.
Much too damn noisy. My 1.5 motor on my mill, is quite like a sleeping baby
no, its ot the best sugar cane press because the sugar cane was cut in half , the best would press the whole sugar cane.
