Frequently asked questions
1. OP 9 in stainless steel vs OP 6 in natural wood: what is the main difference?
Hygiene versus aesthetics. The OP 9 in stainless steel meets professional hygiene standards (the kind a certified food business needs), and the swivelling tray plus the smooth spindle action deliver maximum juice quality. The OP 6 in natural wood offers rustic artisan aesthetics for hobbyists, with a 6-litre capacity against the OP 9's 9 litres. The choice: a semi-professional food workshop that needs stainless steel hygiene takes the OP 9; a hobbyist who wants the rustic wooden look takes the OP 6.
2. What does a stainless steel basket mean for hygiene?
No liquid absorption. Stainless steel versus wood: wood absorbs fruit juice through its capillary pores, so biological contamination builds up over time as bacteria grow. Stainless steel doesn't absorb anything — the surface is smooth, so there is zero biological contamination. Rinsing stainless steel with hot water gives complete hygienic cleaning to food-certification standards.
3. What does the swivelling removable tray mean in practice?
Easy access plus fast cleaning. Swivelling means the operator turns the tray to whatever angle makes emptying easiest — no forcing it into position. Removable means you pull the tray out, rinse it separately in the workshop and slot it back in: MAXIMUM hygiene, with no cross-contamination. The benefit: fast back-to-back cycles in an ice-cream workshop (20 seconds to empty plus 30 seconds to clean makes for a quick cycle).
4. What does the spindle's fluid action mean?
Gentle, smooth pressing. Fluid action means the spindle's movement is gentle and progressive, with no shock or impact during pressing. In practice, the 9 litres of fruit juice comes out at MAXIMUM QUALITY: aroma intact, the best possible colour, and complete extraction — as against pressing that is powerful but coarse. The difference: the OP 6 / 12 / 18 / 30 / 47 use a sturdy spindle for effective pressing, while the OP 9 uses a fluid spindle for delicate, quality-focused pressing.
5. The 9-litre capacity sits between what exactly?
Between the 6 L for hobbyists and the 12 L for professionals. OP 6 = 6 L (small-scale hobbyists, 20–30 L juice/day). OP 9 = 9 L (semi-professional, ice-cream workshops, 35–45 L juice/day). OP 12 = 12 L (mid-sized professionals, 40–60 L juice/day). The choice: a small food business (an ice-cream workshop running 5–10 cycles a day) finds the OP 9 ideal. Hobbyists doing fewer than 5 cycles take the OP 6. Professionals doing more than 10 cycles take the OP 12.
