The Aloe-vera, I'd just use a machine to remove the husk, no need to be gentle, its going into the shredder. The slightly higher extraction ratio by hand should be dwarfed by the time saving and labor costs. There is such a high differential in density between husk and gel that you could probably just pulverize the whole leaf to a specific level and filter press all the husk out.

@pinkpriss 8 ай бұрын

Between the gel and the skin is a very thin layer of a bitter latex crap so squeezing or pulverizing the leaf will contaminate the gel with the crap latex.

By using underpaid labor, companies can aggregate value by legally marketing their products as artisanal and pretending they are "keeping traditions alive" and such - their productivity is much worse but there's a market for that as long as few companies focus on it. Mechanization within regions that offer cheap labor is also often less profitable than its (massive) increases in productivity might suggest due to manufacturers that provide the machines often imposing software and tool restrictions in countries that don't have strong Right to Repair laws, plus there are technological barriers and maintenance costs.

@LTCloud9 6 ай бұрын
