Apuro’s new Friul juice extractors make short work of juicing fruit.
Health guidelines suggest five portions of fruit or veg every day to protect against a variety of diseases. An easy way for cafes and snack bars to encourage healthy eating and capture the health market is to offer pure fruit or vegetable juice as a menu option. As well as being a premium product, freshly prepared juice is a particularly good source of vitamins and minerals, and also a great way of replenishing lost fluids in the body.
Apuro’s new Friul juice extractors are excellent at preparing any pure fruit or vegetable juices for drinks or as a base for cocktails or cold soups. There are two models of Friul juice extractors available from Apuro. Both are designed for the continuous production of fresh, tasty juice and are fitted with 13 Amp plugs making it simple to get started juicing.
The Iota is small and strong with a 400 Watt motor making it one of the most functional and efficient models on the market. This juicer has an exceptionally fast action – it works at 15,500 rpm to extract the juice from the pulp quickly and cleanly. It can process 150kg of fruit or vegetables per hour with a typical yield of 60 – 75%.
The larger Alpha has a 750 Watt motor, producing up to 6,000 rpm, with controlled acceleration and deceleration. It is extremely quiet in operation and can process over 220kg of fruit or vegetables per hour, with a typical yield of 65 to 75%.
In both models the circular feed chamber is fitted centrally over the blade, which means there is no uneven pressure on the heavy-duty motor bearings, giving a longer and maintenance-free life. The housing is made from cast anodised aluminium with a wipe-clean satin finish.
Both have a double shredder disc for maximum efficiency and a food pusher to hold the food in place and prevent slipping. For ease of use there is a safety closing system with integral cut-out.
The Iota and Alpha are supplied with a full one year parts and labour warranty.
