There are a variety of different juicing machines on the market today. Prices range from one hundred dollars to more than eight thousand dollars, depending on the make and model, and whether it's for residential or commercial use. Most people are probably familiar with the many residential juicers on the market. All of these juicers use one of three basic methods of extraction: centrifugal, masticating, or triturating.

Centrifugal juicers essentially shred or cut the fruits and vegetables fed into them into tiny pieces with a sharp interior blade, then spin them in a basket filter at high speeds. The centrifugal force separates the juice from the pulp. This method of pulp extraction is handy for households and works great in commercial environments. A certain amount of heat and oxygen is introduced into the final product due to the way in which the centrifugal juicer extracts the juice. This process can often compromise the quality of the juice (nutritional value) to some extent, however high-speed modern centrifuge juicers efficiently cut fruits and separate them from the pulp before reaching high enough temperatures. Centrifugal juicers are typically faster, quicker to clean, require less food prep and are more cost effective.

Some of the latest commercial grade machines, such as the Zumex Multifruit juicer, use a modern centrifuge system with different speeds and a sharper, more robust grinder blade and filter tank which cuts the fruit and separates the pulp from the juice most efficiently. It also yields the most juice of any of its competition, and less pulp than its competitors as well; less waste, better yield, higher performance, and extremely quiet for a centrifuge juicer. 

Masticating juicers grind vegetables and fruits into a pulp or paste, and then spin the pulp at mid to high speed, squeezing the juice through a screen at the bottom of the tank. The friction involved in this process generates heat, which may affect the nutrient content of the resulting juice. The latest models all focus on low-speed slow juicing to minimize the amount of heat caused during the squeezing process and attempt to maximize nutritional content of the extracted juice. These types of juicers are becoming popular on retail shelves on the market; they are typically quieter than centrifugal juicers and yield more juice from leafy greens, with less leftover pulp, but are more time consuming to clean and more expensive. In some cases we have found that several masticating juicers do not clearly yield more juice than centrifugal juicers, and have actually left behind more waste and more pulp. Masticating juicers are simply too slow to handle the moderate to high volume of commercial use. Don't be fooled into believing the hype about masticating machines being considered "cold-press" juicers. They are not the same. Masticating juicers still use friction heat during the extraction process - it is NOT cold pressed.

Triturating or hydraulic press juicers cut and grind vegetables and fruits, then extract the juice from the pulp by applying great pressure. This extraction method yields the most juice, and also provides juice with the highest nutritional value, because the least amount of oxygen is introduced during processing. There is usually no pulp in the finished product. The cutting and grinding does still generate some heat. Triturating juicers typically require more work during the juicing process as well as cleaning time, however in most cases the juice quality compensates for the efforts. These days, juice bars producing raw, cold-press juices, typically make use of the industrial/commercial grade hydraulic press juicers.

The latest commercial grade citrus juicing machines from popular brands Zummo and Zumex, both manufactured in Spain, each have their own unique juice extraction process, one which has an automated process of cutting citrus fruits in half, then squeezing both halves of the fruit to extract the juice without ever touching the peel, thus avoiding any acids, oils or bitterness from coming into contact with the juice.

When it comes to citrus fruits such as oranges, mandarins, grapefruits, lemons, limes, even pomegranates, this is innovative, cutting-edge, automatic juicing technology at its best, particularly for commercial use in juice bars, cafes, restaurants, hotel buffets, supermarkets, fresh food markets and retail self-serve areas.

Having customers see the fruit being squeezed and juiced right in front of them is exciting, encourages consumption, is truly as fresh as it gets while minimizing oxidation, with absolutely no heat involved during the juice extraction process. Zummo and Zumex juicers provide a fresh new concept when it comes to commercial and/or retail fruit juicing. Residential consumers can also benefit from investing in a robust, commercial grade juicer producing daily freshly squeezed citrus juice rather than buying bottled or carton juice weekly, which is usually not truly fresh and/or natural, not to mention their lack of nutrients and enzymes.

Remember the following factors when choosing a juicer:

Ease of use and cleaning:

A juicer that is easy to operate, clean and maintain will get more use.

Juice quality:

Good juicing machines will produce juice that is abundant in nutrients and enzymes. The quality of fresh juice also depends on the extraction method. Certain levels of oxidation and heat may destroy or minimize nutrients.

Yield:

How many ounces of juice does the machine produce from each pound (or kg) of fruit or vegetable?

Reliability:

If you're operating a Juice Bar, Produce Market, Restaurant, or Supermarket looking for that efficient and effective commercial grade juicer, in particular an automated citrus juicer with the ability to keep up with your demand.........well, we're here to help you meet your needs!!

Juice Evolution Inc. is a proud authorized Dealer of commercial grade Zummo citrus juicers in Alberta. No need to import from the U.S. or Spain, we've got you covered right here in Alberta. To top it off, no matter what machine you buy, shipping is FREE within Calgary!

Behold the new Zummo Z40C Model, which can extract up to 40% more yield than any other commercial grade citrus juicer on the market! 

Perhaps more importantly, our Zummo juicers extract the best quality juice due to the unique squeezing mechanism; it does not crush the seeds or peel during extraction, and the rind never touches the juice, providing a clean squeezing process and the best quality citrus juice!

Squeezing 40 oranges per minute, and with the ability to also juice grapefruit, lemons, limes, mandarins, and even pomegranates, the Z40C is sure to meet your high juice demand.

Also very worthy of mentioning, and my personal favourites of Zummo's product line, is the Z14C Model (moderate-to-high demand), followed by the Z06C (moderate demand). 

The highlight of these juicers is their effectiveness of juicing limes, and in the case of the Z06 model, the ability to alternate different fruits. As with the aformentioned Z40C, these models also extract juice from grapefruit andlemons. The Z06C model can facilitate the squeezing of pomegranates as well!
