Commercial Juicers

A commercial juicer is built for continuous, high-volume use in a foodservice setting. The motors, feed chutes and cutting components are heavier-duty than domestic equivalents, and most units are designed to run for extended periods without overheating. They also tend to prioritise yield and speed over quiet operation, because in a busy kitchen throughput matters more than noise.

The range covers citrus juicers and orange juicers, automatic juice extractors for high-volume output, coulis and juice extractor kits that attach to existing food processors, and juicer accessories and spare parts. Brands like Zumex specialise in citrus-focused machines, while Robot Coupe offers extractor kits that expand an existing R-series food processor into a juicing setup.

A citrus juicer is the right tool if your menu revolves around orange juice, lemonade or lime-based drinks. It handles citrus fruit quickly and cleanly with minimal waste. A centrifugal or masticating juice extractor works across a broader range of produce — apples, carrots, ginger and more. If your juice menu goes beyond citrus, an extractor gives you more flexibility, though it typically requires more cleaning between runs.

Think about peak-hour demand first. A small cafe serving fresh juice to order has very different needs from a hotel buffet running juice continuously through a breakfast shift. Most units in this range publish a litres-per-hour output figure — match that number against your busiest hour, not your average. It is better to buy slightly above your current peak than to run a machine at its limit every morning.

Most benchtop citrus juicers and extractors simply plug into a standard power point and sit on a flat, stable surface near your prep area. Some higher-output models may draw more current, so check the electrical spec against your available circuits before you order. No plumbing is required for the units in this range — waste juice and pulp are collected in removable containers that you empty and rinse between service.

Yes. Robot Coupe offers a Coulis and Juice Extractor Kit compatible with several R-series bowl cutters, including the R 301, R 301 Ultra, R 401, R 402 and R 402 V.V. If your kitchen already runs one of those machines, the kit lets you add juicing capability without buying a standalone unit. Check the specific model compatibility listed on the product page before purchasing.

At the end of each service, disassemble the removable parts — strainer, juice bowl, pulp container and any pressing cones — and wash them in warm soapy water or a commercial detergent. Most components on Zumex and Sammic machines are designed for quick disassembly with no tools. Dry everything thoroughly before reassembling to prevent residue build-up and off-flavours in the next service.

It depends on volume. A high-output machine in a hotel breakfast service will wear through pressing cones and strainers faster than one used for a few dozen glasses a day. Stocking genuine spare parts is the practical answer — Chefs Depot carries Ceado juicer accessories and spares so you can replace components before a worn part affects juice quality or machine performance.

Prices across the 62 units in this range vary considerably depending on output capacity, brand and whether the unit is a standalone machine or an add-on kit. Entry-level benchtop citrus juicers sit at the lower end, while high-volume automatic extractors from Zumex or Sammic sit higher. Chefs Depot members save off RRP on every unit in the range, so registering for a trade account is worthwhile before you check out.
