Citrus Juicers

Citrus Juicers, Citrus Presses & Pomegranate Presses

A dedicated citrus juicer or citrus press is one of the simplest ways to prepare fresh juice from oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit. Unlike a general-purpose juicer, these machines are designed specifically around halved fruit, making them quick to use, easy to clean and particularly convenient when citrus juice is something you make regularly.

EcoHub stocks both manual citrus presses and commercial electric citrus juicers. They perform a similar basic task, but they suit very different styles of use.

Manual Citrus & Pomegranate Presses

A heavy-duty manual press is an excellent option when you want a simple, robust machine with no electric motor. The long lever multiplies the pressure applied by hand, allowing juice to be extracted efficiently while giving the user direct control over the pressing process.

The Sana Heavy-Duty Cast-Iron Citrus Press is designed for oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit, but one of its most useful capabilities is pressing pomegranates. Pomegranates can be awkward to process in many conventional juicers, while a strong lever press allows the halved fruit to be pressed directly without first removing all of the individual seeds.

Its substantial cast-iron frame, long lever and stainless-steel juicing components make the Sana considerably more robust than the lightweight domestic citrus presses commonly found in retail stores. It is a strong choice for serious home users, cafés, restaurants, health-food businesses and anyone specifically looking for a pomegranate juicer or pomegranate press.

Commercial Electric Citrus Juicers

When citrus juice needs to be prepared repeatedly throughout the day, an electric commercial citrus juicer can save considerable time and effort. These machines are particularly useful in cafés, restaurants, hotels, breakfast services, juice bars and other hospitality environments where fresh orange or citrus juice is a regular menu item.

The Santos 11 Commercial Citrus Juicer is a purpose-built professional machine manufactured in France. It has been produced by Santos since 1954 and uses a quiet induction motor designed for repeated commercial service.

Three interchangeable squeezing cones accommodate different sizes of citrus fruit, including lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit. With output of up to approximately 30 litres per hour, the Santos 11 is designed for businesses that need to prepare fresh citrus juice efficiently without relying on a domestic appliance.

Manual Press or Electric Citrus Juicer?

The best choice depends mainly on what you intend to juice and how much you need to produce.

• Choose the Sana manual press if you want a heavy-duty, motor-free citrus press that is also particularly effective for pomegranates.
• Choose the Santos 11 if you need to produce fresh orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit juice quickly and repeatedly in a commercial environment.

For occasional home use, a manual press offers simplicity and excellent control. For cafés, restaurants, hotels and juice bars producing many servings throughout the day, the speed and convenience of an electric commercial citrus juicer will usually make more sense.

Can You Juice Pomegranates in a Citrus Press?

Yes. A sufficiently strong manual citrus press can also work extremely well as a pomegranate press. The fruit is cut into sections or halves and pressed mechanically, allowing the juice to be extracted without the preparation normally involved in separating individual pomegranate seeds.

This is one of the key advantages of the Sana press. Buyers searching specifically for a pomegranate juicer do not necessarily need a specialised electric machine; a robust lever-operated fruit press can be a simple and highly effective solution.

What About Apples, Carrots and Vegetables?

Citrus presses are specialised machines. If you primarily want to juice apples, carrots, celery, beetroot, ginger, leafy greens or mixed fruit and vegetables, you will generally be better served by a cold-press juicer or another general-purpose juicer.

The products in this category make the most sense when citrus fruit — or, in the case of the Sana press, citrus and pomegranates — is the main focus.
