Freshly Squeezed FS-12 Cold Juice Press

The FS-12 hydraulic juice press is the smallest footprint commercial cold juicing press available on the market: 22 in. wide x 32 in. 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 8800 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 squeeze 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, oversized juice tray, unique bag design and the least number of fasteners – only 1 – to quickly and easily disassemble the machine.

Advantages of FS-12 and FS-30 Cold Juice Presses

If you plan on manufacturing vegetables, nuts, or leafy greens, then we recommend the Sammic CKE-3, CKE-5, or CKE-8 vertical cutter/emulsifier to go along with this unit in order to pulp the product before putting it into the press. This will allow the maximum surface area to be exposed for pressing purposes without damaging enzymes or heating up the product.

Both our FS-12 and FS-30 presses conform to ANSI/NSF Standard 8 and has the sticker to prove it for your health department inspection. 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. We went the extra mile when we created our FS presses. We didn’t cut corners. The FS-12 and FS-30 presses are NSF compliant and made in USA.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:

 

“The FS-12 is ideal for a smaller or start-up juicing operation that is doing about 100-200 of 16 ounce bottles of juice a day. If you are going much over that, then I would go with the FS-30. Overall, the FS equipment is reliable and cleans up easily. Whatever product you put in there comes out fully juiced with only sawdust left in the pressing bag.”
-Alan Potrzuski
owner, Purely Pressed
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

 

“The FS-12 Cold Press + Sammic CKE-8 homogenizer are fast and easy to use. They are everything we dreamed of having after using the Norwalk for so long. We now get a much higher yield. For example, it only takes us 6 minutes to shred and press between 2 1/2 to 3 lbs of coconuts, whereas it would take us all of 45 minutes on the Norwalk.

The employees at Freshly Squeezed were very responsive and kind enough to test our very specific product, ripe Mexican coconuts, for yield before we ever even put a deposit on the equipment. The 8,800 lbs of pressure vs. Norwalk’s 1,000 lbs makes a HUGE difference in yield. We felt very comfortable dealing with them and making such a large financial purchase. And now we are glad we did.”
-Brandon LeBlanc
partner, Nations Nectar                                                                                                                            Austin, Texas

 

“The FS-12 unit is as easy to use as the videos show.  Easy to maneuver. Easy to clean up.  The yield is better than anything we ever used before. The unit works well for us. The CKE-8 is a great little unit for the homogenizing, too.  Getting financing with FS was easy and delivery smooth. Since we had never seen one of these machines before, the FS team went out of their way to test some of the more exotic products we manufacture into juice.  Thanks for the extra effort.”
