All of them belong to foreign firms, have different technical parameters and price segment.
Content
An apparatus of this kind is a small structure with containers, a refrigeration unit + a compressor, a dispenser for filling the contents, and a control panel.
The main scope of the product:
Note! For each detail, there are types of juice coolers.
There are several stages according to which equipment for juice cooling is classified. A detailed study of each will help you understand how to choose the right unit.
On a note! All professional installations are made of food grade stainless steel (main frame), installation is carried out on a tabletop, transparent juice baths with removable lids. Basically, they all work from the network, but there are models that do not need this.
Product classification:
Units that do not operate from the mains are mainly suitable for buffets, serve as table decorations. The cooling process is carried out at the expense of ice, which is placed inside the structure in a specially designated compartment for it.
Note! As statistics show, glass tanks are not particularly popular, as they can break. But the plastic ones made of polycarbonate are distinguished by a high degree of resistance to physical damage and a long service life.
When buying equipment, you need to draw up a clear plan according to which the model of the juice cooler will be selected:
The fact is that some devices are designed only for juices, others may be suitable for alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee, soda.
For example, a bar apparatus should be versatile, designed for several baths, the temperature control of which is carried out independently of each other.
For buffets, you can use any cooler, but with a large volume (most often, one type of drink is offered). This option is suitable for fast food establishments, cafes, as well as street trading.
When asked which product is better to buy: with a vane system or a geyser, it is up to the buyer to decide. Two options cope with the task in the same way: they evenly cool the juice and do not allow the pulp to settle to the bottom.
What else to pay attention to: availability of a warranty card. If the product is purchased in an official store, then the sales consultants will help with the choice, show how the equipment works and answer all questions. If you order online, then there are concerns about purchasing a low-quality unit. Video clips, where the technique, its work and characteristics are presented, will help not to make mistakes when choosing; customer reviews.
Note! Many people first look at a photo that does not correspond to reality. Therefore, it is important to look exactly at the reviews on the selected model of juice cooler.
In the online store, an assortment of goods for every taste and budget, therefore, most of the population orders products in a virtual way, since you can find inexpensive models that will be many times more expensive in special outlets.
