Processing butia/jelly palm juice

This year I ended up with 13 lb of jelly palm fruit. I froze it, then thawed and tossed in the food processor to make seed removal easy (last year with a smaller crop I used a knife to peel off flesh). Followed

just for the juice part, but I repeatedly kept having to strain out pureed pulp that settled to the bottom.
Any easier way to process given the large seed? Do any juicers work? It crossed my mind an apple press on the food processed pulp might work.

Not easier but what I use is a food mill. That doesn't break up the seed like a food processor.

I wonder if you could juice them in a steam juicer without removing the seed.
