Fresh Squeeze : Juicing up your business.

In today’s health-conscious world, the demand for fresh, nutritious beverages is booming. Consumers are increasingly prioritising wellness, seeking out options that are packed with vitamins and flavour. For commercial catering businesses, this presents a fantastic opportunity to tap into this growing market and boost profits. Promoting the “5-a-day” message is more important than ever, and offering fresh juices is a delicious and convenient way for your customers to achieve their daily fruit and vegetable intake. A vibrant juice offering can also enhance your establishment’s image, positioning it as a modern and health-conscious venue.

But where do you start? The key is having the right equipment. Commercial juice dispensers are essential for any business looking to serve fresh juice efficiently and attractively. They not only streamline the juicing process but also create an appealing display that entices customers. Let’s explore the diverse world of commercial juicers, from manual presses to high-tech automatic machines:

Manual Juicers: The Classic Approach

For smaller establishments or those prioritising a hands-on approach, manual juicers offer a simple and cost-effective solution. The Sammic ECP lever-operated model, for instance, allows for easy extraction of juice from citrus fruits with minimal effort. These manual juicers are ideal for producing smaller quantities of juice on demand, perfect for adding a personal touch to your beverage service.

Centrifugal Juicers: Speed and Efficiency

When speed and volume are paramount, centrifugal juicers are the workhorses of the juice world. The Santos Centrifugal No.50 juicer is a prime example, capable of processing large quantities of fruits and vegetables quickly. These juicers are perfect for busy bars, cafes, and restaurants looking to serve fresh juice without delays. Similarly, the Sammic LI-240 commercial juicer offers robust performance and versatility, handling a wide range of produce with ease.

Automatic Orange Juicers: Effortless Freshness

For businesses specialising in orange juice, automatic orange juicing machines are a game-changer. These marvels of modern technology take the hassle out of juicing. With a capacity to squeeze 20-22 oranges a minute—equivalent to 4-7 cups—these machines, like the ones we offer, can keep up with peak demand without compromising quality.  Simply wash the oranges, load the machine, and let it do the rest. These juicers are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Capable of providing juice at a high volume on-demand without taking up much of your kitchen or dining space, these units are a valuable asset. Thanks to the transparent juicing process and sleek design, customers can also enjoy watching their fruit being juiced in action, adding a touch of theatre to the experience. These juicers are ideal for any setting, from small juice bars to large hotels and buffets, ensuring a constant supply of fresh, delicious orange juice.   

Juice Trends to Watch in 2025

The juice market is constantly evolving, with new flavour trends emerging. Recent industry insights suggest that 2025 will see a fascinating blend of nostalgia, functionality, and innovation in the world of beverages. Classic flavours will be reimagined with modern twists, offering a familiar yet exciting experience.

Many brands are already exploring this trend, blending natural flavours with ingredients that promote wellness. And finally, expect the unexpected. Innovative flavour combinations and entirely new juice formats will continue to surprise and delight consumers. Keep an eye out for exciting blends, like fermented fruit-based drinks with tangy, citrus-driven profiles, and unconventional pairings that push the boundaries of flavour.
