Well, he says he’s got the only one (I’m kinda hoping the same can be said of him). |
|

^How is that possible? He can’t be the only one that has it? If one was only made, only the walker family should have it? |

I have seen other models similar to this one and i personally owned a model 150. I think that the owner is mistaken about the housing being made from aluminum. It should be dairy grade stainless which is often flat and not glossy. I have been sen many pictures of early Norwalks larger than this one. Dr. Walker experimented with numerous versions and produced juice commercially inn California for a time. So there were a number of large commercial juicers made. The manufacture date was not 1910 or that early as the youtube video indicated. ..paul |

Were electric juicers even being manufactured in 1910? A lot of homes were still using gaslight back then. Hell, a lot of streetlights were gas back then. I told Harold that it would be fun to include a Norwalk time line along the lines of the one Vita-Mix has on their Web site. I’ve been intrigued by your 150 since I read your first mention of it. That manual press would be nice to have. |

Dear all. I am the cook at a conference center. I am new to this forum. I think I am looking for a model 201. Or for a large press. I am juicing for 60 people every noon, serving juice preferably within the 15 minutes of pressing. This is not possible with the model 275 I have bought, so I have bought one more. Right now we make the pulp with the 275 and then we squeeze the juice by hand, which is very ineffective, but a lot faster than putting the tiny bags into the tiny press and press 1-2 deciliters in a go. Making 20 liters takes too much time, the juice is without much enzymes before we can serve. So someone suggested to find the model 201. Another possibility is to build our own press. Does anyone have any good advice or helpful hints? Greetings BR |

While I was researching juicers for a restaurant I opened in the 70’s I was in Edmonton Alberta. There was a guy who had put together a high output juicer combination. I mentioned this before on the forum. It consisted of a large mouth vegetable grinder which he threw washed carrots into. Then he filled large (like 5lb flour bags) bags made of cloth dacron maybe with the pulp . He tied the bag closed then placed the bags into a large stainless steel cylinder about 10 inches in diameter. Then a piston came down and through a hydraulic pump it put a lot of pressure on the bags in the chamber. The results were juice flowing out like a fire hydrant. I have wanted to get these components together myself but have lacked the time. I also used a norwalk at the restaurant. You have to make juice ahead of time. You can not juice to order. But you can make some combinations and ahead and sell a number of combinations. I make 2 gallons every other day which is 10 liters. I do it ahead of time and people come and pick it up or I have it delivered. Even at $10.00 per liters organic juice I make a good profit. And if I was making double that well it gets easier ..it takes less time and you can make a good living. Maybe in you location the price would be double. I have a very well organized system and after the first gallon I am making good return on my time. However I do this mainly as a service and have already a full time job. Best Regards..paul |
