(Sorry, no pic or video for this as I didn't have a model during juicing)
I made some celery juice for my in law today to help with controlling her HBP.
I removed the fiber and chopped up the celery into smaller pieces of about 4cm or so...
During the juicing, the juicing unit didn't seem to move too obviously as compared to what I had seen when doing grapes with seed the first time. I should monitor further to see if the unit was shaking at all when juicing.
Back to celery juicing, the pulp didn't managed to come off from the outlet as smoothly, I knew something was wrong, then more and more pulp (tiny ones) came through the coarse strainer and out from the juice outlet... That's fine for me but I didn't think that's meant to be so...
As it wasn't a whole lot of celery to juice, I only got 3/4 cup of juice for my in law. I quickly dismantled the juicer to check and, as expected, the pulp outlet was congested with squashed celery, causing the pulp outlet to be jammed, and some smaller pulp came out from the juicing outlet during the dripping of final few drops of juice.
This didn't happen when I did the vege combo yesterday. Perhaps the celery needs to be cut into even smaller portion to avoid this from happening. I cut the celery into about 2-3cm when I tried yesterday and it worked fine, just that the pulp outlet seemed to be a little bit jammed by the carrots, instead.
Have to take note of the length of high fiber food/ vege that we fed the juicer... Will take note!!
