The first thing you must decide is what type of juice you want to serve. Orange juice is the most popular juice in the world, making for a potentially lucrative addition to your menu offerings.
However, green juice, functional juices, and multi-fruit and veggie blends are increasingly popular beverages and on-the-go snacks.
Depending on what you plan to serve, combined with the factors below, more than one juicer may be required to meet your needs.
Now that you’ve determined what you want to juice, it’s time to dive in a bit deeper. The factors below will help you narrow down your options.
Yield might be one of the first things that comes to mind, but yield is about more than liquid volume. The more juice you extract per fruit or veggie, the more balanced and delicious the flavor!
Our innovative Top Performance technology is designed to increase your profits, by extracting more juice per item. Save up to 10% on fruit costs with Zumex Top Performance squeezing system!
One of the defining differences between commercial juice squeezing machines is the volume of liquid they squeeze or press. Some are simply more efficient at extracting juice from fruits and vegetables.
Whether you’re a food service business such as a restaurant or a retail business such as a grocery store or supermarket, every additional ounce you juice goes straight to your bottom line!
Commercial appliances are an investment, so you must ensure you select ones designed to last. The exterior and parts must be durable. You must also have an attractive warranty to protect your investment.
While you don’t want consumers operating most of your commercial appliances, our OJ juicer is safe and easy enough for your guests or shoppers! It’s ideal for both hotels and grocery stores.
In addition to function, consider the look, feel, and design of the juicer you’re considering. This is especially important if your juicer is self-serve. You don’t want an appliance that’s an eyesore sitting in your hotel or grocery store.
Beyond aesthetics, ensure that the design is ergonomic. This keeps you and your team safe and comfortable when juicing at high-volume.
Juicers come in a variety of sizes. From compact countertop to floor-standing, you must consider where you’ll place your new appliance. Space can be tight, so you may need to rearrange your kitchen. Or choose from our compact Soul Series 2 or Minex juicers.
Many restaurants test their juice menu with household juicers, quickly realizing that they can’t keep up. Household appliances must be cleaned multiple times per day and they burn out quickly.
High-volume produce juicer machines are cleaned once per day and are easy to train your team to maintain.
In addition to the factors above, you must also identify a juicer that fits into your budget. When calculating your budget, you must factor in:
You want to be able to serve your customers without delay. You also want to pre-juice your bottled juices with efficiency. So, consider how fast and easy it will be to juice a full serving. If not a full serving, how many liquid ounces or produce items per minute.
Speaking of speed, the Zumex citrus juicer squeezes 22 fruits per minute! It also semi-automates juicing, so you can your team can multi-task. Fill the basket with oranges and let it juice.
Beyond your needs above, juicers have different extraction methods. Let’s dive into your top options.
If you just want a bit of orange, lemon, or lime juice for recipes, a manual juicer may be sufficient. Hand juicers are faster and easier than hand squeezing but they don’t meet high-volume needs.
Masticating juicers can press and extract juice from wheatgrass. For quick and easy shots, you may prefer a dedicated wheatgrass juicer. Just be mindful that they only juice wheatgrass, greens, berries, and a small range of produce.
Citrus juicers are the most efficient way to extract juice from oranges, lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits. No need to cut or peel!
Zumex’s multi-fruit centrifuge juicer has an internal metal basket that spins at a high speed and a titanium shredding disk that maximizes sharpness to grind fruit with ease. It extracts juice from both fruits and veggies. When juicing citrus, it’s best to peel it first.
Also referred to as slow juicers and cold-press juicers, masticating juicers crush and press produce. Crushing and pressing generate less heat than spinning and grinding. Many believe this method retains more flavor and nutrient value.
The best commercial juicer for your juice menu varies depending on your unique needs. That said, cold-presses are the gold standard.
They handle the entire juicing process, minimizing oxidation by pressing instead of grinding. This retains more nutrients and enzymes. This innovative technology delivers superior flavor, ensuring premium quality for your guests.
For you and your team, Zumex’s cold press is safe and easy to use, ergonomic in design, easy to clean, and aesthetically appealing.
Yes, a blender can make a pulp-rich juice. However, it may not be the right fit for your needs. Below are the primary pros and cons of choosing between a juicer and a blender.
The larger your juice menu, the more likely it is that you’ll require more than one food service juicer. Zumex is here to help you narrow down your options and select the appliance that will streamline and enhance juice production!
