I'm studying the process of harvesting and juicing the stalks of
Jerusalem artichokes and leaving (most) of the tubers in the ground
for re-growth (the following season).
The literature I've read is pretty vague on this point; the patent
(4400469) describes a hammer mill and a (undefined) press, although
the hammer mill is a pretty easy home-scale DIY device, it's really
just a device to pulverize and the lack of detail on this undefined
press is troubling.
I've been tinkering with the idea of slight modifications to a hammer
mill by putting small juice holes on the bottom and the pulp exit mesh
on the lower part of one side, just above a small juice "Dam".
I've looked at other ways, "roller press", "masticating juicer",
"centrifugal juicer", and "hammer mill" type designs, all have
interesting points for both ease of DIY construction and
efficient juicing.
I been chasing my tail for a while on this and was hoping some
feedback would help me sort this out.
Thanks,
Curbie
