What is the Best Commercial Juicer in 2023?
Posted by Brad Burns on 16th Oct 2020
A commercial juicer is a must-have for cafes and restaurants in Australia. There is a wide range of styles and brands of juicers on the market. The 2 most popular at the moment are the centrifugal and the cold press slow juicer.
Cold Press Slow Juicer
A cold press juicer works by crushing and then pressing the product to get the highest juice yield without producing much heat to keep the quality of the output at it's best.
This type of juicer will definitely give you the best flavours and last longer if you plan to juice and then store it.
The con for this type of juicer is that if you want to use it in a busy cafe, it may not keep up with the demand. Hence the word 'slow' in the name.
Centrifugal Juicer
A centrifugal juicer traditionally is the most common type of juicer. They have a fast spinning basket that has a mesh filter that separates the juice from the pulp.
This is a very fast way of juicing but the spinning metal basket generates a lot of heat which destroys some of the enzymes in the fruits and vegetables and also oxidises them, which produces a less tasty and nutritious result than a Cold Press Slow Juicer.
When choosing to buy a commercial juicer it's important to consider the volume of juice you will need to make over a particular time period. If you are doing fresh juicer made to order in a busy juice shop for example, you will need a fast juicer to keep up with the demand. Centrifugal juicers are the fastest and that is why they are so popular.
You can still keep up with demand with a cold press juicer because you will get the best quality juice from them and many businesses make their juice before service then bottle it for later. The quality of the juice from a cold press slow juicer is so good, you can store it for the day without loosing much of the nutrients or flavour.
So when it comes to the best commercial juicer to buy, my choice would be one of the following 2 juicers depending on your budget and specific needs.
When it comes to performance and value the Deaken DKN-900 is unbeatable. This centrifugal juicer is fast, reliable and the price is less than half the price of similar quality juicers on the market.
If you want the best quality on the market, this would arguably be it. Made in France, the quality and performance is as good as it gets. The price is a reflection of the quality and performance at more than $2000
