Industrial Juicer For Home Use

Do I want an industrial juicer on my kitchen counter? Well maybe not the $5,000 model. But money is not the only factor to determine an industrial or commercial ranking juicer. The quality of the machine and its purpose are qualifying factors. Are the units designed for one function or additional uses? Should this only be applied to a commercial or retail food service situation? The questions open up the door for extended discussion. However, in this article we will endeavor to look and limit our immediate outlook at what I believe are the top juicers for sale that span a diverse use for consumers. The first two are reamer type juicers for citrus. The next two are different types of juicers. The champion is an example of the best masticating juicers, while the Omega 9000 is an example of one of the best centrifugal juicers. I will say up front, none of these are cheap juicers. The prices range from $120 to $350.

• Waring Pro: This is a citrus juicer that is a true restaurant/bar grade reamer juicer. Compact and heavy this juicer can fit into a commercial or home situation easily. The operation is quiet and the bowl is dishwasher safe. Definitely a plus for home use.

• Omega Upright: This is a newer concept in reamer type juicing. With the Waring Pro, the citrus is held in the mechanism and the juice is worked out of the fruit; alternately, the Upright has an initial reaming action followed by the whole fruit is then crushed by the rotating auger and continues to extricate juice from the produce. This juicer has been redesigned from the table up.

• Champion commercial/overseas: This comes in two models: a commercial overseas model and a homeowner's version. The commercial is both 110 volt and 220 volt to accommodate different requirements overseas. The commercial motor is a GE and is slightly larger in capacity. This is a masticating juicer that works at a lower RPM. This results in less juice oxidation.

• Omega 9000: This juicer is quiet and vibration free. The construction is with surgical stainless steel for the blade, bowl and basket. The motor is a GE and runs at 3600 RPM's. This juicer uses a centrifugal extraction process and can result in an increase of twenty to thirty percent more juice. The basket has been hand balanced at the factory for best results.
