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.
The type of orange juicer you need depends on your daily juice volume, the space available and the way the machine will be used in your business. Zummo’s range includes models designed for 30, 50, 150 and more than 150 juices per day, aimed at hospitality, retail, offices, communities and food service.
For small cafés, offices or businesses with limited space, a good option is the Viva Advance or the Z1, recommended for up to 30 juices per day. These are compact models, ideal if you are looking for a practical orange juice machine for moderate service.
If you need a professional orange juicer for a busy bar, restaurant or café, the Z06 can be a well-balanced alternative, as it is designed for around 50 juices per day while offering a good balance between capacity, size and performance.
For hotels, buffets, high-demand restaurants or businesses where fresh orange juice plays a more important role, Zummo recommends models such as the Z14, Z14 Cabinet or Z14 Contactless, designed for up to 150 juices per day. They are a good choice if you are looking for a more powerful orange juicer machine adapted to intensive use.
For supermarkets, large retail spaces or high-volume businesses, the most suitable option is an industrial orange juicer such as the Z40, Z40 Cabinet, Z40 Advance or Z40 Advance Cabinet, designed for more than 150 juices per day and aimed at retail and food service environments.
