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.
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.
To produce 1 litre of orange juice, approximately 2.5 to 3 kilograms of oranges are required, depending on their size, juiciness, and variety. This ratio may vary slightly depending on the season and the type of juicing machine used.
Industrial orange juicers are usually compatible with other citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and grapefruits, as long as the size and shape of the fruits are similar to oranges. However, their ability to process non-citrus fruits, such as pomegranates, is limited and generally requires specialised equipment. For larger fruits or those with harder peels, such as apples or pineapples, machines specifically designed for those fruits are needed. The versatility depends on the design and specifications of the juicer.
