ULTIMATE CITRUS SMASHER ........... $500 PLUS SHIPPING ........... TAKING ORDERS STARTING JUNE 15TH

Background

We became tired of buying lemonade smashing equipment from other manufacturers because the "good ol' boys" network doesn't seem to respond promptly to to texts, calls or emails. So, we decided to manufacture our own citrus smasher because we know the level of equipment and customer service it takes to succeed in the lemonade business. 

We've taken our experience and combined it into one more unique citrus smasher to assist you in advancing your lemonade business to the next level. Since we utilize citrus smashers each week, we know what it takes for quality and efficiency. 

Now, we’re going to offer our new Ultimate Citrus Smasher for sale to other vendors. 

Look at these premium features:

- Constructed from food grade materials including aluminum, stainless steel and high density polyethylene (HDPE). No other lemon smasher manufacturer offers these construction materials as a combined option.

- 1.5 inch pneumatic cylinder with rod wiper and stainless steel head nut with nylon locking ring

- Square-grooved 3 inch food grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) smasher head design distributes forces across all citrus wedges because it spans 95 percent of the bottom of the deli cup. Other manufacturers utilize a 2 3/4  inch "sharkstook" or v-groove design smasher head which does not cover but 80 percent of the bottom of the deli cup. Why is this important? Because, it covers all of the citrus wedges to smash evenly and releases the juice outward along the square grooves. 

- High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) top and bottom plates means no need for powder coating and the chance for chipping or fading of a powder coated surface. And standard powder coating is not food grade unless it contains materials defined by the FDA.

- Airtac toggle-style hand switch - pull back to lower plunger; push forward to raise plunger

- Airtac 1/8 inch push to connect / release fittings

- Airtac flow control valve to adjust plunger speed

- Airtac 1/8 inch polyurethane tubing for all air lines

- Radius corners on both top and bottom plates (no sharp edges)

- Hand-rest located beside toggle-style hand switch

- Aluminum 4-post design not only saves weight, but also prevents cups from falling through the front.

- A unique funnel splash guard practically eliminates back-splash and the need for an outer splash guard. We were the first  to develop this type of "funnel" splash guard for citrus smashers back in 2019. Again, this makes cleaning easier as there is no outer splash guard that has to be removed for cleaning.

- 8 foot air attachment line to your air compressor. 

- All air lines and switch housing are located above the top plate so that cleaning underneath the top plate is easier. Most competitors locate their air lines and switch housing under the top plate exposing them to citrus splash. 

- All screws, nuts, washers, adapters, top / bottom plates, splash guard, and side rods are comprised of either 304 stainless steel, 6063 Grade Aluminum or High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Even the rubber feet are BPA free. 

Why did we make our top and bottom plates from high density polyethylene? (HDPE) It‘s quite simple as it's an FDA approved food grade material. It’s rigid, but not so rigid as to cause damage to the air cylinder. In other words, it flexes slightly under extreme forces which serves to not damage the air cylinder. Also, HDPE does not have to be powder coated.

If a manufacturer of a citrus smasher tells you that their powder coating is "food grade", then you should ask them to supply you with the FDA approval for their powder coating process and / or if their powder coating contractor actually utilized powder coating materials that were FDA approved. It's not just us talking.... just read below:

"It should be noted that no FDA compliant powder coating comes with a blanket FDA approval. FDA approval only occurs after the completed assembly has been coated and then submitted to a third-party laboratory for testing to the FDA requirements of 510(k), ISO 10993, or ISO 13485."
