Comparisons:
Are the Green Power Gear Juicers centrifugal or masticating?
Neither. The difference is:
Centrifugal uses a shredder
disk/grater, which revolves at about 3600 RPM or faster and is usually
very loud. (ACME and Omega)
Masticating chews pulp
to further break down the cell-wall structure. Then it mechanically
squeezes. It uses a slow turning powerful motor that requires physical
strength to use. (Champion)
Gear Juicers are stone-mill types that work
by the gear crushing produce into the walls (screen), which then
extract juice. It is at low R.P.M and very quiet.

What is the advantage over centrifugal machines?
Centrifugal machines do not grind most leafy vegetables, such as
wheatgrass. The Green Power Gear Juicers grind many kinds of leafy vegetables.
The Green Power Gear Juicers are easier to clean
than the centrifugal juicers.
The Centrifugal juicers make a lot of noise, while
the Green Power Gear juicers are quieter.
The centrifugal juicers destroy many nutrients including
vitamins because of the high RPM. The Green Power Gear Juicers
preserve the nutrients because of the low RPM.
Because of the low R.P.M, Green Power Gear Juicers
contain less entrapped air then a centrifugal juicer, which gives
it a longer shelf life than juice made with a centrifugal.

What is the difference between the GB-9001 and the KPE-1304?
The KPE-1304 is a twin gear while the GB-9001 is a single gear (single
auger) type.
The GB-9001 is easier to clean and take apart.
The KPE-1304 is more efficient in extracting more
juice. It is especially best for fruits, carrots and celery.
The KPE-1304 has a 3-Way Bio Ceramic Magnetic System
in the Twin Gears and in the juice bowl that helps preserve essential
enzymes, nutrients and flavor for up to 72 hours. The GB-9001 does
not have this system.

What is the difference between the Green Power and the Omega 8001?
The Omega 8001 is our old model selling under the brand name "OSCAR"
DA-502.
The Samson™® GB-9001 has 6 nozzle positions while
the Omega 8001 has only 4.
The Samson™® GB-9001 juicing screen has a reinforced
screen rib to insure a longer life than the Omega 8001 juicing screen.
The Samson™® GB-9001 auger is better designed
to extract more juice than the Omega 8001 auger. We will continuously
be upgrading our Gear Juicers.

What is the difference between the Green Power Gear Juicers and
blenders like the Vita Mix?
The Green Power Gear Juicers separate the pulp from the juice as
it falls into a separate container. From this method, the pulp will
be tightly compacted and much dryer then with most juicers on the
market. The pulp can not be mechanically separated when using a
blender. When the pulp is blended with the juice, it may contain
harmful agro-chemical residues.
Blenders are not made to process most leafy vegetables
properly. The Green Power Gear Juicers are excellent with leafy
vegetables.
The Green Power Gear Juicers have a set low RPM*
in order to maintain the necessary enzymes, nutrients, and flavor.
Blenders work at high speeds, which destroys necessary enzymes,
nutrients, and flavor in the process.
*Green Power Gear Juicer, GB-9001: 80 RPM.
Green Power KPE-1304 Twin Gear Juicer, KPE-1304: 160 RPM. Vita Prep
by Vita Mix: 37,000 RPM (variable RPM 1,000-24,000).

Wheatgrass:
How can I get more juice when juicing
wheatgrass?
It is best to use wheatgrass when it is 6"- 8". When it
is shorter it will not yield a substantial amount of juice and is
not mature enough for juicing. If it is longer, it is too old and
may loose water content and/or nutrients.
^Top
How can I reduce foam when juicing wheatgrass?
Submerge wheatgrass in cold water before juicing. Using carrot,
celery or other vegetables through the machine after juicing wheatgrass.
Also, spraying a mist of cold water on top of the foam helps it
to settle down. For the Twin Gear, try adding a few drops of flax
oil into the gears before juicing wheatgrass.
