[Syrupmakers] Sugar Cane Juicer for Squeezing Sorghum

[Douglas Gifford]

I have a small hand crank sugar  mill I bought  from  Brazil.  I have used  it manually  and it would  take forever  to do 1/2 acre. I hooked a 1 hp motor  to the press with  a belt attached  to a fly wheel mounted on the press.  It works great. Though  the press  is small the motor  turns  the  press  quickly.

I would think manual would be a pretty big effort for 1/2 acre or more.  What about the electric table top versions?  Would it be as slow as a horse powered mill?

Thanks

I have seen a lot of Sugar Cane Stainless Steel Electric Juicers on Craigslist and eBay.  Can they be used for extracting juices from Sorghum?  I only have around ½ acre of sorghum.  Does anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks
Scott
