We don't just build lemonade equipment......we use it!
At LemonadeSource.com, we want to offer our customers the best quality manual and pneumatic citrus smashers on the market. We‘ve designed our citrus smashers with ease of use and the ability to clean all areas quickly and efficiently. 304 / 316 stainless steel, HDPE and / or Acetal Colpolymer is used in all areas exposed to food or drink.
304 / 316 stainless steel, HDPE and / or Acetal Copolymer are FDA / NSF compliant materials.
DISCLAIMER: No claim is being made that any of our citrus smashers are FDA and / or NSF approved, but only that we utilize FDA and / or NSF compliant materials in all food / beverage contact areas.
FDA Compliant: Acetal food-grade materials are specifically designed and approved for direct contact with food, making them a safe and reliable choice for food processing equipment and utensils, says Specialist Engineering Plastics.
Chemical Resistance: Acetal has good chemical resistance, making it suitable for various food processing environments.
Mechanical Properties: Acetal offers good mechanical strength, stiffness, and impact strength, which is beneficial for food processing equipment and tools, says Emco Industrial Plastics.
Detectability: Some acetal grades, like Delrin FG500MXD, are designed to be metal and x-ray detectable for enhanced safety and quality control in food processing, says Delrin.
Food Safety: Stainless steel is less likely to react with food, especially acidic or salty foods, and doesn't impart any metallic taste, states Metal Supermarkets.
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel, particularly food-grade varieties, is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for food processing equipment and utensils, says Manufacturing.net.
Durability: Stainless steel is generally more durable than aluminum, resistant to dents, scratches, and warping, reports Vinod Cookware.
Cleanability: Stainless steel's smooth, non-porous surface makes it easy to clean and sanitize, reducing the risk of bacterial growth, says Unified Alloys.
Food Safety: Stainless steel is considered safe for food contact as it doesn't leach any harmful substances into food, and it resists corrosion from acidic food ingredients.
Reaction with Food: Aluminum can react with acidic or salty foods, potentially leaching aluminum into the food, which is not desirable.
Contact Time: The contact time between food and aluminum should be limited, especially at non-refrigerated temperatures, according to MICRON COATINGS Group.
Anodizing: Aluminum can be anodized to create a protective layer, but this is a separate process that may not always be feasible for certain applications.
Lemon juice:: Lemon juice is highly acidic and acids can react with certain metals, including aluminum.
Dissolution: The acidity of lemon juice can cause the aluminum to dissolve, meaning the metal is essentially breaking down and releasing into the liquid.
Leaching: In some cases, the dissolved aluminum can leach into the food or drink, potentially raising concerns about aluminum intake.
