Abstract
An improved sugar cane juice extractor has removable crushing rollers. The juice extractor preferably includes a housing with a juice extracting compartment and a closure for accessing the compartment. The closure is preferably a clear plate which permits viewing of the compartment during operation and, when removed, allows access to the compartment for removal of the crushing rollers and cleaning of the rollers and the compartment. A safety switch can be provided to prevent rotation of the rollers when the closure is displaced. A guide into the compartment is preferably provided to direct the sugar cane and any flavorings into the crushing rollers. A waste channel is provided for the exit of crushed cane pulp.
