There are various types of juicers designed to meet different needs. For businesses with high demand, industrial juicers stand out for their high capacity and efficiency, making them common in restaurants and supermarkets. Centrifugal juicers are versatile and fast, suitable for various fruits and vegetables, while cold-press juicers preserve the maximum nutrients in the juice but are not intended for businesses requiring large juice production. Finally, automatic vertical juicers, such as Zummo’s EVS technology, offer continuous and efficient juicing, designed for high-traffic businesses.
High-performance machines, such as those manufactured by Zummo, typically operate at a speed of up to 30-40 fruits per minute in their most advanced models. This ensures fast and efficient extraction in high-demand settings, such as cafés and supermarkets.
To produce 1 litre of grapefruit juice, approximately 1.5 to 2.5 kilograms of grapefruits are required. This may vary depending on the size, juiciness, and variety of the grapefruit, as well as the efficiency of the extraction method used. Larger and juicier grapefruits typically require a smaller quantity to reach one litre.
Industrial grapefruit juicers are usually compatible with other citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and limes, as they share similar size and shape characteristics. However, for non-citrus fruits or those with harder peels, such as apples, specialised equipment is required, as these juicers are optimised for citrus fruits. For fruits like pomegranates, depending on the juicing machine, adapters may be used to enable compatibility with different fruits. The ability to process other fruits depends on the design and technical specifications of the model.
