Commercial juicers are the unsung heroes of busy UK cafés, juice bars, and restaurants serving fresh, vibrant drinks that customers crave. Built for continuous operation with robust motors (typically 300-1000W), these workhorses extract maximum yield from fruits and vegetables—perfect for establishments serious about quality refreshments. After equipping kitchens for 50 years, we've seen how these machines transform drink menus and boost profits. Whether paired with commercial blenders for smoothie bars or complementing coffee machines in cafés, a professional juicer elevates your beverage game while handling the demanding workload that would quickly burn out domestic models.

Essential Buying Considerations
Juicer Type & Output
Citrus juicers for OJ and lemonade—ideal for breakfast venues.
Centrifugal for speed (15+ drinks hourly)—perfect for busy cafés.
Cold press for nutrient retention—great for health-focused menus.
Space & Maintenance
Check footprint (15-50cm width)—countertop space is precious.
Consider noise levels for front-of-house operations.
Look for models with dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleaning between services.
How Commercial Juicers Work
Commercial juicers extract juice through three main methods. Citrus juicers use rotating reamer heads that press down on halved fruits, separating juice from pulp with minimal effort. Centrifugal juicers shred produce with razor-sharp blades spinning at 6,000-14,000 RPM, forcing juice through fine mesh filters with centrifugal force. Meanwhile, cold press (masticating) juicers crush and squeeze produce at slower speeds (40-100 RPM), preserving nutrients and extracting maximum yield. Most professional models include powerful motors (300-1000W), durable stainless steel components, and quick-clean systems that keep pace during busy service periods.

"If you're juicing all day, every day, go for a commercial juicer that can keep up without overheating – your brunch crowd won’t wait for a machine to cool down! Trust me, a good juicer pays for itself in fresh, zesty profits."
For optimal performance, clean your juicer thoroughly after each service—pulp buildup affects flavor and efficiency. Pre-cut larger fruits and vegetables for centrifugal models to reduce strain on the motor. With citrus juicers, rolling fruit firmly on the counter before juicing increases yield by up to 10%. Keep a supply of cleaning brushes and food-safe sanitizer nearby, and run maintenance checks weekly, paying special attention to gaskets and filters that tend to wear fastest.
