When setting up or upgrading a fruit and vegetable processing line, choosing the right industrial juicer machine is one of the most important steps. The right machine affects everything — from juice quality and yield to operating cost and production efficiency.
Fuxun Machinery, as a leading industrial juicer manufacturer, we’ve helped hundreds of food processing businesses around the world select the right juicing equipment. This guide will walk you through everything you should know before investing in an industrial juicer — so you can make an informed, confident decision.
1. Know What You’re Processing
| Material | Recommended Machine | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apple / Pear | Screw-type juicer with crusher / Fruit pulper | Need pre-crushing or cutting before juicing; Pre-cooking before pulping (puree production). |
| Pineapple | Screw-type juicer with crusher | Must be peeled & cut before juicing. |
| Citrus Fruits (Orange, Lemon) | Dual-roller juicer | “Whole-fruit” processing; direct juicing without peeling or grading. |
| Passion Fruit | Passion fruit juice machine | Separating seeds, peel, and juice. |
| Ginger | Screw juicer/ Dewatering screw press | Need pre-crushing before juicing to improve juice yield. |
| Grape/ Blueberry | Screw juicer/ Dewatering screw press | Both options give good yield depending on scale. |
| Beetroot | Hammer crusher + screw press | Too hard to juice directly. |
| Leafy Vegetables (Celery, Spinach, Wheatgrass) | Single-stage fruit pulper/ screw juicer | Pulper is more recommended. Cut into small pieces (about 3mm) before juicing. |
| Mango | Double-stage mango pulper | Two-stage process (core removal and pulping), separating the pulp from the seed and peel. |
| Peach, Cherry, Bayberry, Apricot, Plum | Fruit pulper/Screw juicer +pitting machine + crusher | Remove the core first before juicing. |
| Tomato, Strawberry, Seabuckthorn | Fruit pulper/Screw juicer | Juicer: produces a clear juice with less pulp. Pulper: gives a thicker, more viscous juice. |
2. Decide the Type of Juice You Want
Do you need clear juice or pulp-rich juice?
- For clear juice (apple, citrus, grape juice, etc.), a screw press or roller juicer with fine filtration works best.
- For thicker, pulpy products (tomato paste, mango puree, strawberry pulp), use a fruit pulper.
If you need puree from apples or pears, pre-heating before pulping is required to achieve a smooth, thick consistency.
3. Confirm Your Desired Production Capacity
Our industrial juicer machines are available in a wide range of capacities — from 0.5 to 4 tons per hour, depending on the model and application. For large-scale production, our screw press dewatering machine can handle up to 30 tons per hour, making it ideal for high-volume processing. Simply tell us your required capacity, and our team will recommend the most suitable model for your production needs.
4. Consider Automation and Operation
When choosing an industrial juicer, it’s important to think about how it fits into your overall production process. Our juicer machines can work as standalone units for small-scale operations, or be integrated into a fully automated juice production line for higher efficiency and lower labor costs.
At Fuxun Machinery, we supply a complete range of supporting equipment, including fruit and vegetable washing machine, conveyor or lifter, crushers, pasteurizers, and more. By combining the right equipment, you can achieve a smooth, continuous production flow. Whether you prefer a semi-automatic setup or a fully automated line, we will provide you a customized solution, helping you get the best return on your equipment.
