Zumex Zitrux Compact Self-Cleaning Orange Juicer Machine 12454

Most Zumex citrus juicers (Minex, Essential, Versatile and Speed) use the Original Zumex® squeezing system, which cuts the fruit in half and presses it vertically between two food-grade cups. This maximizes juice yield without crushing the peel, keeps bitter oils out of the juice and produces clean, natural juice with minimal waste. The Soul Series 2 uses Zumex's Conical System® instead, and the Multifruit is a fruit-and-vegetable juicer with a titanium shredding disc, so the cup-press description does not apply to those two models.

• Standard models handle oranges, mandarins, tangerines, grapefruits, and pomegranates.
• Specialty models (e.g., Zitrux, Speed Pomegranate, Multifruit) are optimized for limes, lemons, hard fruits, or mixed fruits/vegetables.
• The key is using fruit within the recommended size range (about 1.5–3.2 in, depending on the kit).

Zumex juicers use interchangeable squeezing kits (different cup and blade sizes) for small, medium, or large fruit:

• Small kit → for limes/lemons (≈1.5–2.2 in)
• Standard kit → for medium oranges and citrus (≈2.4–3.2 in)
• Large kit → for bigger fruit like grapefruit or large oranges (≈3–3.5 in)

Changing kits is simple — remove the existing cup set and blade, then insert the new size kit. No tools are required, and it takes just a few minutes.

Yes, each kit has a flexible tolerance range. For example, the standard kit can handle most oranges and tangerines. However, for best yield and juice quality, matching the kit to the fruit size is recommended.

Minex and Essential are compact juicers for medium-volume cafés and restaurants. The Zitrux is Zumex's high-capacity, self-cleaning orange juicer, rated at about 40 fruits per minute for 64–81 mm fruit, and built for high-volume retail such as supermarkets and busy hospitality venues.

Zitrux suits high-volume settings that sell fresh orange juice all day, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, gas stations, hotels and busy food-service venues, where its speed and self-cleaning system keep the juice station running with little staff time.

• Always plug the machine into a compatible power source matching the specs on its identification label.
• Never attempt to use or clean the machine without safety features engaged, and never operate it from the side or backside—always load from the front.
• Ensure the front door is fully closed—the machine won't start otherwise.
• Avoid inserting hands into the juicing zone or near moving cutters—handle components carefully to avoid cuts.
• The appliance is intended for commercial use (e.g., kitchens, cafés); it's not designed for continuous mass production.
• Unplug and fully disconnect the power before cleaning, service, or part replacement to ensure safety.
