Performs a powerful triturating action through its heavy duty Twin
Gears whilst remaining at a slow speed of 110 RPM. This means the juice
extracted from fruits and vegetables retains the live enzymes and
vitamins thus ensuring it is of the highest quality, whilst radically
slowing down the oxidation of the juice to give it a longer shelf life.
Multiple award winning machines of unsurpassed quality, the Green Star
juicers have been around since the early 90’s. The Green
Star juicer GS2000 uses twin gears made of Stainless Steel to crush the
produce down to a cellular level and then expels the juice and fibre
separately via pressure applied in the juicing chamber. The twin gears
also contain magnets and bio-ceramic materials inside them, these are
said to extract higher levels of minerals from the produce and to also
give fresher juice that’s enzymes and vitamins have a longer shelf
life. The fact that the twin gear juice extractors operate at a
very low speed when compared to many other juicers also helps to
considerably slow down the oxidation of nutrients. There is virtually
no heat transfer, thus helping in retaining the enzyme content. The
technology of the Green Star GS2000’s twin gears enables juice to be
stored for up to 48 hours in the fridge without significant loss of
nutritional value. The Green Star
GS-2000 can also process whole foods by using the included homogenising
screen, making things like almond and date pie crusts, pates from nuts
and vegetables, sauces from a wide range of ingredients, baby foods,
smoothies, frozen fruit desserts, nut butters and more. It also has
extra attachments over the GS1000 model including a soft fruit screen,
a handy drip tray and sieve. Green Star GS2000 Parts Homogenising Screen Vegetable Screen Plastic Pusher Wooden Pusher Brush Glass Jug Vegetable Adjuster Soft-Fruit Adjuster Soft-Fruit Screen Drip Tray Strainer Twin Gear Technology 
Twin
Gears cut and juice all vegetables including carrots, celery, leafy
vegetables and wheatgrass. It is also capable of juicing harder fruits
like apples and pears. The twin gears feature a pocket recessed area to
easily accept fibrous vegetables and herbs. 3 separate points cut
strong fibres like celery so the appliance does not get clogged or
jammed. The gap between the gears is 0.1mm (4/1000 of and inch), this
combined with its other features gently extract more juice, leaving the
ejected pulp drier than other none twin gear juicers. At
only 110 revolutions per minute, heat build up is reduced to a minimum,
therefore oxidation is delayed allowing a more leisurely consumption of
the juice whilst still getting the full nutritional benefit. A recent
independent comparative study on how 5 different juicers effect juice
stability showed that apples at 59.9°F juiced in a Green Star only
increased in temperature a bit over 0.5°F to 60.44°F. The other 4
juicers ranged from almost 3.5°F to over 14°F higher than the original
temperature of the fruit (these machines were all of the high-speed
variety).
Bio-Ceramics and Magnets
At the centre
of each gear is a series of in-line magnets that produce a focused
magnetic field of 2600 gauss through which the juice passes during the
juicing process. As the juice flows through this focused field, the
water molecules in the juice are broken up allowing the atoms to
recombine with other minerals such as calcium, potassium, sodium and
magnesium to produce new molecular structures. This magnetic process
therefore extracts a greater degree of minerals and nutrients from the
produce during juice extraction and is instrumental in keeping those
minerals in a suspended colloidal form the body can use for a longer
length of time.
Far Infrared is the natural resonant frequency
range of water and allergenic substances including man. Infrared wave
length ranges from 0.7 to 1000 microns, just beyond visible light. Far
Infrared is a part of this wave length family we use in Infrared
photography, mapping the earth’s surface, and guiding missiles to their
target. Our skin radiates 9.36 microns Far Infrared wave which is very
close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule - and rightly so
since our bodies are about 70 % water. Far Infrared waves are the
safest and most beneficial energy source available.
The Green
Star juicers have a specially formulated bio-ceramic material around
the in-line magnets at the centre of each twin-gear. The Bio-ceramic
compound uses the mechanical energy from the turning of the twin-gears
to generate Far Infrared waves that penetrate the water within the
juice. Since water naturally resonates at this frequency, the water
molecules not only receive the Far Infrared energy but also radiate it,
thus further stabilizing the fragile structure of the juice. Separating Agricultural Chemicals and Heavy Metals
Did
you know that apples have usually been sprayed around 22 times before
they reach the shops and commercially grown carrots are often used as a
crop to "clean" the soil? The extraction method of Twin Gear Juicers
gets rid of about 70 to 80% of toxic agro-chemicals and heavy metals
from produce. This is one of the reasons we recommend to choose the
Green Star Juice extractors or any of our Twin Gear machines.
Otherwise, be sure to buy organic produce for juicing, as you don’t
want a concentrated cocktail of chemicals.
The Principle of Dr. Norman Walker
The
Twin Gears have the ability to remove a high level of agricultural
chemicals and heavy metals through the triturating and squeezing
process, according to the founder of the "Living Juice" machine - Dr
Norman Walker. The principle is as follows: if leaves, stalks or roots
are squashed by using steel plates, stones or wood mortars and
squeezed, enveloped by hemp cloth, juice and sap penetrate and only
fibre waste remains. The degree of affinity of fibre for agricultural
chemicals and heavy metals is so high that they remain together with
the fibre waste. This is how the Green Star’s triturating process can
obtain pure juice eliminating a high amount of agricultural chemicals
and heavy metals by rotating Twin Gears, crushing vegetables and
squeezing pulp through the fine screen that acts the same as a hemp
cloth. Independent Tests Anamol Laboratories
Ltd.(Concord, ON 905-660-1225) conducted a test on the juice volume and
mineral content of vegetable juice made with several different juicers.
Vegetables used were parsley (64g), kale (392g), chard (270g),
sunflower sprouts (160g) and celery (300g). Test results are as follows:

Some of the awards won by the Green Star juicer include:Green
Star won the Gold Award of Excellence in the Appliances category at the
2007 Canadian Health Food Association’s (CHFA) trade show. This marks
the 3rd year this decade that Green Star has won this prestigious GOLD
prize. The Alive Awards of Excellence were created in 1995 to promote
and recognize excellence in product innovation and to add credibility
to natural health products. Manufacturers and suppliers were invited to
enter products into 18 corresponding categories, accompanied by
third-party analysis and organic certification. Retail members of the
CHFA cast their votes for the best products in each category based on
quality, consumer popularity, and consumer appeal. The Alive Award of
Excellence is only the most recent in a long history of awards won by
Green Star and Green Star Gold.
