Zumex Minex Citrus Juicer for Professional Kitchens

A citrus juicer built for volume service extracts juice from whole oranges without pre-cutting. The Zumex Minex presses each fruit between a rotating cone and a fixed reamer, releasing the juice while the peel and pith stay outside the flow. This method keeps the oil in the skin from entering the juice, so the flavour stays clean and the acidity does not rise. The juice runs through a fine strainer that catches seeds and pulp, giving a smooth liquid ready to serve or store.

The operator loads whole oranges into the hopper at the top. A feed mechanism drops one fruit at a time onto the spinning cone, which draws the orange down and presses it against the reamer. The extracted juice flows into an internal collection tray, while the spent halves are ejected into a separate waste container. The machine continues automatically until the hopper is empty or the operator stops it.

The Zumex Minex is built in stainless steel for the body and food-grade plastic for the pressing components. The cone and reamer are removable for cleaning, and the strainer lifts out to clear trapped seeds.

Controls consist of a single on-off switch and a safety interlock that stops the motor if the hopper lid is opened while the machine is running. The switch starts the motor and the feed cycle; the interlock prevents access to moving parts during operation.

The 0.44 kW motor draws a steady load on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, suitable for most commercial kitchen supplies. The 19.5 kg weight keeps the unit stable on a worktop without bolting, while the 360 x 360 mm footprint fits between other counter-top appliances. The 720 mm height allows the operator to load fruit without bending.

Cleaning follows the removable parts: the cone, reamer and strainer are washed after each service to prevent dried juice from clogging the mechanism. The collection tray and waste container are emptied and wiped down, and the hopper is rinsed to remove any fruit residue. The stainless-steel body is wiped with a damp cloth to keep the surface free of sticky deposits.

The Zumex Minex is listed in the catalogue under commercial juicers for bars, cafés and catering kitchens.
