Commercial Juicer FS-12 Freshly Squeezed

Description

This gem of a machine is the Freshly Squeezed FS-12 juicer for commercial kitchens/applications.
Given my inspection and work on the unit, I'm not sure it ever went into actual production.
We purchased brand 4 new bags from the manufacturer (@ 0 each) to make it feel like new. We would recommend the purchaser taking local delivery on a liftgate truck (cannot be transported lying down on a crate!). In Winter Garden, Florida. Below is info from the manufacturer: The FS-12 hydraulic juice press is the smallest footprint commercial cold juicing press available on the market: 22” wide x 30” deep. It can fit into the tightest of spaces and still produce up to 12 gallons of juice per hour. The FS-12 press is capable of producing hundreds of bottles of cold pressed juice a day and can handle any vegetable, fruit, leafy green, grass, herb and nut. The FS-12 press has all the necessary certifications to make any health department happy and is perfect for juice bars, health food stores, juice cleansing facilities and other small to medium juicing operations. Despite its compact size, the FS-12 is extremely robust and powerful with the force of 10,600 lbs applied in each squeeze. The juice produced contains less than 1% solids, so no extra filtering is necessary. Vertical squeezebox design allows for even pressure on the product. FS commercial hydraulic juice presses squeezes more gently than other methods. This means juice is extracted without over-crushing cells or creating unwanted heat. Commissioned by juicing industry specialists who understand the needs of a modern juicing consumer, the FS-12 press has many unique features like wash down design allowing spraying of the whole machine while cleaning, two emergency stop buttons, motor overload protection and complete safety guarding.

This means you can visually verify that all surfaces are clean. We also weld our seams and don’t use “bolt together” construction methods that create crevices and require silicone sealants that eventually wear and can end up in your juice. In addition holes and crevices are hard to clean and could harbor bacteria. We don’t use gaskets that wear and shed as a shedding gasket ends up in your juice.
