Commercial Masticating Juicers
Masticating juicers as we all know are equipped with a worm like gear that crushes the produce deep to its cell membrane and extracts the juice that is rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The pulp is then forced against the juicing screen to extract the juice out of it. There will not be much of a difference between a household masticating juicers and commercial masticating juicers. But there are certain factors that separate them. A commercial masticating juicer will be able to produce larger quantities of juice quickly. These juicers are mainly required in juice bars, cafes, health clubs, bars and restaurants where variety of juices are produced at a massive scale on a day to day basis.
The commercial masticating juicers will require least cutting and slicing of the produce for juicing. Moreover, the motor of commercial masticating juicers will be more powerful than household masticating juicers as they will undergo a heavy usage daily. These juicers due to their greater durability and harder wearing will cost more. But the cost pays off as you set it up in the commercial environment
Features of a commercial juicer
Sturdy Motor. A masticating juicer is designed to meet the requirements of commercial usage and are therefore generally fitted with 1/3 horsepower. Such a motor provides enough crushing power to the gear to juice a wide variety of produce that includes kale, wheatgrass, chard, aloe, pine needles and many more.
Voltage specifications. The voltage specifications vary from juicer to juicer. The mastication juicers in the Omega series that can be used in a household as well as in commercial environment require 120 volts. The Champion commercial masticating juicers have a voltage requirement of 220 volts.
Strong Gear. The gears in commercial masticating juicers are very durable and strong. They are mainly made of melamine or GE Ulem material. Such a gear can crush the produce to its cell membranes as a result the deeply seated nutrients are released. You will get a richly flavored and colored juice. The juice yield is also quite high. The pulp is left absolutely dry after juicing. True to the masticating genre, the RPM of these juicers are low. This enables production of nutritious juice without any foam and oxidation.
The Champion commercial masticating juicers have a floating cuter instead of a gear that separates the juice from the pulp. The blades are cast into cutter for greater strength and durability. This prevents them from rusting, twisting, becoming blunt or tarnishing.
Easy to Use. The commercial juicers are designed to be used a number of times per day. They have a fewer moving parts. So assembling and cleaning them is very simple. They do not require nuts, bolts, screws or clamps to assemble. All you have to do is make the auger housing ready by inserting auger in the drum followed by screen and cap. Thereafter you can operate it by putting the juice bowls in appropriate places and putting the switch on. The commercial juicers do not require to be cleaned intermittently between juicing. They allow continuous juicing with their auto pulp ejection mechanism. The cleaning of the commercial juicers is also very easy. The parts can be easily dissembled and cleaned with water and mild detergent. The juicers have a durable structure that are made of sturdy materials like FDA approved nylon, stainless steel etc.
Wide Feeding Chute. These juicers have wide feeding tubes that will enable you to juice whole fruits. The Champion juicers have a wide feeding chute of 1 3/4 inches in diameter. It is able to take large vegetables without cutting them into smaller pieces. However, the Omega commercial juicers require you to cut the produce into smaller pieces.
Long warranties. The commercial masticating juicers are available with long warranties for their motor and parts. Depending on the manufacturer these juicers can have a warranty period ranging from 10 to 15 years.
