It is a machine run by an 8-horsepower single cylinder diesel engine that extracts juice from sweet sorghum with a maximum capacity of 200 kg/day.

It effectively extracts juice from sorghum stalks.  Juice collected from this plant is used as ingredient for making syrup, molasses, or ethanol.

This machine not only effectively collects juice. It also easily makes bagasse, the fibrous matter, available in producing biofuel and in the making of pulp, paper products and building materials.
