Commercial Juicers

Find the right type of commercial juicer that fits your business and budget

Whether your business requires light or heavy-duty juicers, there’s a model that fits your need. For instance, an industrial juicer delivers juice almost non-stop throughout the day. Prices range from a few hundred up into the thousands of dollars.

Know the types of professional juicers to find the right one for your business. Centrifugal juicers rank as the most popular and affordable type. Use this type for fruit and vegetables but not wheatgrass or leafy greens. This kind of juicer grates the product into pulp and uses centrifugal force to separate the juice. For higher yield, consider the single-gear type commercial juice extractors with low RPMs. Another type, the twin gear professional juicer, uses compression to extract juice. They cost more but produce larger volumes. Citrus and wheatgrass juicers made for these specialties go from low to high volume models. A commercial or industrial juicer model delivers low to high capacity based on your needs. Some require large spaces; others sit on a tabletop.

Get the right juicer for your particular business:

1. With low volume needs, consider manual commercial juicers for one glass of juice at a time.

2. Choose low- to high-volume juice bar or restaurant juicers when the demand for juice remains relatively constant.

3. Get specialized juicers for particular types of fruits or greens.

 

Get a commercial manual juicer for light duty

When your business requires one glass of juice at a time with low volume throughout the day, consider a low cost manual model.
Try: See a heavy duty Jupiter and Olympus juice press with cast iron construction and enamel finish at Zesco.com. Go to Shopzilla to view several models; check out the OrangeX 17332 for mid-size needs, or the Hamilton Beach 932.

Choose low volume commercial juicers

When your business requires juice with average volume, consider commercial juice extractors with low capacity.
Try: See Waring professional juicers like the BJ120C or JC4000 Citrus model at the BeverageFactory.com for restaurants, soda fountains and bars. Compare prices on brand names like Eurodib, Champion and Frontgate models with low to high wattage at Smarter.com.

Select from the list of commercial high volume juicers

Ideal for many types of businesses where high capacity with low time means better efficiency, these juice bar, institution and restaurant juicers feature heavy-duty construction for the rigors of production.
Try: To make up to a quart of juice per minute, see the Miracle Pro Juice Extractor MJ800 for hotels, bars, hospitals, juice bars and restaurants at LivingRight. Also explore the Harvest Essentials complete line of commercial juicers.

See specialized industrial juicers

For your specialty serving at the juice bar, restaurant or institution look for the kind of fruit, grass, herb and vegetable these professional juicers process.
Try: To whirl up to 6 gallons per hour of wheatgrass, herbs and leafy vegetables, choose the Wheateena Juicer at CostPlus Juicers. With a hopper capacity of 40 lbs., see the Juice Tree Model 900 for all your citrus fruits at Harvest Essentials.

• Determine how much juice your business needs. For example, restaurant juicers with high and low volume differ dramatically in price. Look for a model based on production needs first, then on price.
• Check out the size requirements for large commercial juicers. Some heavy duty machines require up to 6 square feet of floorspace.
