Extraction Juicer: Harnessing Nature’s Goodness in Every Sip

Juice business
29 julio 2024

All juicers extract juice, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. That said, not all juicers are created equally. Some commercial appliances are advanced technology designed to streamline juicing and elevate your product offerings. This is achieved by optimizing the flavor, texture, and nutrient value of your freshly squeezed juices. Let’s dive into how a high-quality extraction juicer harnesses nature’s goodness.

What is an extraction juicer?

A juice extractor refers to any appliance that presses or grinds fruit and vegetables to extract the liquid goodness within. This includes manual juicers and electrical juicers.that sell bottled or made-to-order juices. Their volume is simply too low as they only juice half an orange or citrus fruit at a time. Electric juicers are designed to juice full glasses, bottles, or gallons of juice at a time.

What is the function of a juice extractor?

Upgrading your juicing technology instantly streamlines and optimizes the juicing process, while elevating the quality of your juice recipes.

Zumex’s commercial juicers extract more juice per fruit and vegetable. They require less produce prep time and are ergonomic, easy to clean, and designed for high-volume juicing.

What is the difference between a juicer and a juice extractor?

These two terms can be used interchangeably, but many consider an extractor as technology that filters the seeds, skin, and pulp. There are two primary types of multi-produce juicing extractors: centrifugal and cold presses.

What is a centrifugal juicer?

Zumex’s centrifugal juicer is a countertop commercial appliance. You insert produce in the feed tube and press down with the food pusher. The titanium disk within shreds and grinds produce with maximum efficiency. The liquid goodness is filtered through a high-speed metal basket, leaving behind the peel, seeds, and pulp. Produce needs to be cut to fit through the feed tube, but prep is minimal when compared to store-bought juicers.

The finished juice is smooth, delicious, and nutritious.

What is a cold press juicer?

Also referred to as a masticating juicer, auger, or slow press—the Zumex cold press is a floor-standing juicer. It crushes and presses produce to extract the liquid goodness within. The primary benefit of this juicing method is that it minimizes heat and oxidation. Minimizing heat and oxidation preserves the enzymes and nutrients longer than a centrifugal juicer. This means that the juice doesn’t foam or separate when bottled. Once crushed and pressed, the juice pours through an internal mesh filter to ensure it’s smooth and delicious.

There’s even less prep time with a cold press, as most fruits and vegetables don’t need to be cut to size. Only pineapples and large melons must be cut in half prior to juicing.

What is a citrus juicer?

Centrifugal juicers and cold presses can juice citrus fruits, including oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes. However, they’re designed for maximum versatility, juicing all fruits and vegetables. If you plan on serving straight orange juice or a high-volume of citrus juice, a dedicated citrus juicer is a more efficient option.

Zumex has citrus extractors that juice one glass of OJ at a time or that enable hands-free juicing of multiple gallons of OJ.

What type of juice extractor is right for you?

Before you can determine which type of juice extracting method is right for you, you must determine your juice menu product mix.

  • If you only want to serve orange juice in the morning (or all day long) a citrus juicer is all you need.
  • If you want to juice any type of fruit or vegetable, you’ll need to decide between a centrifugal juicer and a cold press.
  • Your expected juice volume and whether you’ll be pre-juicing or juicing to order are also determining factors.

What is extracted during juicing?

Juicing is how your health-conscious consumers meet or exceed their 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Produce has a high water content, so it’s a nutrient-dense water alternative. For some, juice is a snack, for others it’s the beverage they drink with their meal. Juice may even be a part of a cleanse or detox.

Extracting juice delivers:

  • Hydration: Extracted juice counts towards the recommended minimum of 64 ounces of hydrating liquids per day.
  • Vitamins and minerals: Juicing delivers an antioxidant-rich beverage, packed full of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.
  • Enzymes: Produce contains naturally occurring enzymes that improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and contribute to a variety of vital internal functions.
  • Unrefined sugar source: Juice is how many consumers indulge their sweet tooth. From all-fruit juices to mostly veggies with a fruit or two for flavor and sweetness.
