Zumex Essential Pro Citrus Juicer

A citrus juicer built for continuous service in professional kitchens, the Zumex Essential Pro extracts juice by pressing halved fruit against a rotating cone. The motor drives the cone at a steady speed, pressing the fruit against a ribbed strainer that separates pulp and seeds from the juice. This method yields clear juice without aeration, preserving flavour and reducing waste compared to centrifugal or manual squeezing.

To operate, the user loads halved oranges, lemons or grapefruits onto the cone, lowers the lever to engage the press, and releases the lever once the fruit is spent. The juice flows through the strainer into a collecting vessel while the spent halves are ejected into a separate waste container. The sequence repeats as quickly as fruit is loaded, allowing a single operator to maintain the stated throughput without pausing.

The unit is constructed in stainless steel for the pressing chamber and strainer, with a plastic housing for the motor and controls. A single switch starts and stops the motor; no additional settings are provided, reflecting the single-purpose design.

The 0.3 kW power rating indicates a modest electrical load suitable for a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, typical of most commercial kitchen worktops. The 45.5 kg weight requires two people to lift safely, and the 470 x 500 mm footprint fits on most worktops without overhang. The 750 mm height allows the operator to work standing without stooping.

Cleaning follows from the construction: the stainless steel strainer and pressing cone are removed for washing after each service, while the plastic housing is wiped down with a damp cloth. No lubrication or adjustment is required beyond routine cleaning.

The Zumex Essential Pro is a single model with no variants or accessories listed. It is categorised under citrus juicers in the professional catering equipment catalogue.
