JBT Marel Launches New Fresh’n Squeeze® 1800 Citrus Juicer

Retailers and Foodservice operators across multiple industries to benefit from industrial grade technology that delivers up to 50% more juice per orange than traditional juicers

LAKELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JBT Marel, a leading global provider of integrated food processing solutions, today unveils a fresh juice game-changer at the International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) Global Produce and Floral Show: the Fresh’n Squeeze^® 1800 Citrus Juicer. It features the same whole fruit extraction technology as the larger free-standing models in the Fresh’n Squeeze product line. (Which is also the same technology that allows JBT Marel to juice over 75% of the world’s citrus, thanks to its industrial grade juicers.) The big difference lies in the size: the 1800 model features a smaller countertop footprint that will save retailers on labor and space, whether they are a grocery store, juice bar, hotel, resort, or coffee shop.

The Fresh’n Squeeze^® 1800’s advanced whole fruit extraction process delivers fresh, flavorful juice by instantly separating juice from peel and seeds to preserve its integrity. This fresh citrus juice solution maximizes juice yield by up to 50% per fruit compared to traditional cut-and-press technology. It can process up to 50oz of juice per minute while preserving natural taste and nutrients, ultimately enhancing profitability for a higher return on investment. This opens the door for food retailers and foodservice operators to consider it as a fresh differentiator for their business – as well as a source of additional revenue.

“Implementing Fresh’n Squeeze^® juicers in-store has been linked to an 18% increase in sales,” said Megan Dyer, Director of Key Accounts and Beverage at JBT Marel. “The fresh aroma of citrus and the health-focused connection to fresh juice create an experience that attracts customers and encourages them to purchase. It’s a win-win for shoppers looking for healthier options and food service retailers looking to broaden their offerings with fresh offerings, drive traffic to the perimeter, and strengthen their bottom line.”

The Fresh’n Squeeze^® 1800 is capable of handling all types of citrus fruits without adjustment or additional juicing heads. This enables businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops to diversify their menus with ease. It also allows for customizable pulp content for added versatility.

With its compact, sleek design, the Fresh’n Squeeze^® 1800 is built to save valuable floor space while offering ease of use and long-term reliability. The machine’s minimal parts simplify disassembly and cleaning, which reduces maintenance. Engineered for durability, the Fresh’n Squeeze^® 1800 is capable of withstanding high-volume use in both behind-the-counter prep and front-of-house self-serve settings.

“The Fresh’n Squeeze^® 1800 also allows customers to see their juice made right before their eyes, turning the process into an engaging experience and fostering transparency and trust,” said Wade Roberts, Fresh’n Squeeze Design Engineer. “Plus, its low maintenance and durable design empowers staff to focus on customer service rather than constant equipment upkeep. These collective benefits make it more attractive to retail food service businesses – from proprietary businesses to chains alike.”
