Robot Coupe C40A Press Coulis Automatic Sieve & Juice Extractor

The Robot Coupe C40A Press Coulis is a multi-function food preparation machine that combines three distinct roles: citrus press, juice extractor, and automatic chinois. In practical terms, that means one piece of equipment can handle a broad range of straining and pressing tasks — from freshly squeezed juices to finished coulis, soups, and sauces — without switching between separate machines.

In a working kitchen, the value of that combination becomes clear during prep. The large-capacity feed tube means whole tomatoes can be processed without pre-cutting, which speeds up production and reduces prep labour during busy service periods. The motorised sieve action is consistent and repeatable, making it easier to achieve uniform texture across large batch quantities — something that matters when coulis or strained sauces need to be consistent from cover to cover.

The C40A is particularly well suited to soft-fleshed fruit and vegetables: raspberries, blackcurrants, tomatoes, and similar produce that benefit from the coulis arm attachment rather than a standard sieve disc. Key practical advantages include:

• Three functions in one machine, reducing equipment footprint and capital outlay
• Ejector paddles with a curved profile for efficient sweeping of the bowl base, reducing waste
• Long side spout allowing collection directly into large containers or pots
• Removable lid and bowl are dishwasher safe, simplifying end-of-service cleaning
• Simple operation, with a short learning curve for kitchen staff

The C40A sits on a worktop and requires a standard electrical supply. It is a compact machine, but operators should ensure the bench height and surrounding space allow comfortable loading via the feed tube and easy access for cleaning. It is not designed for processing hard vegetables or whole citrus fruits with thick rinds through the sieve function — knowing the limits of each attachment is important for getting the best from the machine and avoiding unnecessary wear.

This machine is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, catering operations, and production kitchens where fruit coulis, strained sauces, and fresh juices form a regular part of the menu. For very high-volume sites processing large continuous batches, it is worth discussing whether a higher-throughput continuous-feed alternative would better match your output requirements.
