Important factors include:

• Intended use (home, small business, commercial)

• Juice output capacity and motor power

• Number of rollers or pressing mechanism

• Materials (preferably food-grade stainless steel for hygiene)

• Ease of cleaning and maintenance

• Warranty, spare parts availability, and after-sales support

Common causes and improvements:

• Using dry or old cane → use fresh with higher moisture content

• Worn or dirty rollers or crushing parts → clean and replace when needed

• Roller gap not optimal → adjust roller spacing properly

• Low motor power or inconsistent drive → ensure you have sufficient motor horsepower

Typically covered: manufacturer defects, motor malfunction under normal use. Often not covered: wear parts such as rollers, seals, belts, switches, or damage caused by misuse or neglect. Always check the warranty policy provided by the manufacturer.

With proper maintenance, regular cleaning, and timely replacement of wear parts, a high-quality sugarcane juicer can last 5-10 years or more, depending on usage level and environment.

Best practices include:

• Clean all juice contact parts after each use, remove pulp and debris

• Wash with warm water and mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals

• Disassemble removable parts for deeper cleaning weekly or monthly

• Lubricate moving parts where applicable

• Regularly check and tighten screws, bolts, and electrical components

Possible reasons:

• Loose components, bolts or screws not tightened properly

• Foreign objects stuck in rollers or crushing area

• Worn bearings or gears

• Motor overload or imbalance

Safety tips:

• Always turn off and unplug machine before cleaning or maintenance

• Don’t insert hands or tools into rollers while machine is running

• Use original parts and follow manufacturer guidance

• Avoid using machine in wet or unsafe environments

• Manual: operated by hand crank; good for low volume, portable use; lower cost but more labor required

• Electric: powered by motor; higher output, less manual work; requires electricity and more care in maintenance

• Automatic: may include automatic feeding, safety features, sometimes self-cleaning; ideal for business/commercial applications with high throughput
