2Safety instructions
General safety instructions:
The Hydro Press may only be operated with water pressure, never use air pressure -
Risk of explosion!
Important: In order to prevent an air buffer inside the diaphragm, press down the vent
plunger until the air has fully escaped and water leaks out of the unit.
The rubber diaphragm must be protected from sharp objects and exposure to the sun
(may cause brittleness).
Please provide a secure installation, placing the product on a flat and stable surface.
When using the Hydro Press 180L, a sudden pivoting motion should be avoided.
Ensure that the locking pin engages into place after pivoting and while the unit is in a
tilted position. A clicking noise should be audible.

The press shall only be used as stated in the description of its intended purpose, and
while technically safe and in flawless condition. Please verify the safe condition of the
unit prior to any use.
Children, pets and frail users:
For the safety of your children, please remove or keep all packaging material
(cardboard, Styrofoam, etc.) out of children's reach. Asphyxiation risk!
The equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities and shall not be operated by persons lacking
experience and/or knowledge about the equipment, unless such person is supervised
by another person who is familiar with relevant safety regulations. If children and pets
are present, they must be under constant supervision in order to ensure they remain out
of harms way. Remember, the Hydro Press is not a toy!
Pressure relief valve:
The pressure relief valve is set to the max. of 3 bar water pressure. Should the
operating pressure exceed this maximum setting, the valve will be activated and the
water will drain.Check the valve before each use for a correct function (become not
stuck after prolonged disuse).

5Prior to first use
Before using the equipment for the first time, all components should be cleaned and
rinsed thoroughly with water. Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. The
press cloth shall also be cleaned thoroughly with water.
6Assembly
After removing the device from its packaging, please use the included screws to attach
the legs (2) to the base frame (1). However, this step has been omitted for Hydro Press
180L. Please provide a secure installation for all equipment, placing the product on a
stable and weight-bearing surface. Most important is the water drainage and, if possible,
the water connection should not be located too far form the press.

7Operating the device
Place the stainless steel press basket (7) centered onto the base frame. Subsequently,
insert the filter cloth/press bag (not shown) into the press basket; at the bottom of the
basket, fold the bag outside in. At the top, the bag is folded to the outside; this makes
filling of the fruit pulp easier. Place a container underneath the drain. The press can now
be filled with the fruit pulp. It is not necessary to fill the bag completely; pressing is
much easier to complete with less fruit pulp. Fold down the bag over the fruit pulp, and
place the lid (8) on top. Place the washer over the spindle and install clamping nut (9). On
the Hydropress VA (stainless) turn the nut with the handle until it is fixed slightely and
then press down handle to press down the lid (see also sketch in the next chapter). The
spray protection cap (not shown) must be pulled over the press basket and connect the
Hydro Press to the main power supply, using the GEKA quick disconnect (4).
Subsequently, open the water supply line.
The incoming water (max. 3 bar) applies pressure to the slurry. Press the top of the
breather valve (11) until the air has been completely removed from the diaphragm. The
juice flows through the press basket (7) into the chute of the SPEIDEL Hydro Press (10)
- see diagram below. Once the water pressure has reached 3 bar, the relief valve opens
automatically and the water discharges below. The water pressure can be read off the
pressure gauge (5) and regulated by using the water tap. To do this, the tap is closed
when the normal pressure is exceeded. Once the pressure has dropped, the tap can be
slightly opened again. The pressure gauge is a simple way of how to monitor the working
condition of your Hydro Press. A regulating valve (pressure reducing valve) is
advantageous and is most probably already installed in the line and preset to 3 bar.
Now, the water tap can be closed again. Please wait until the juice has completely
drained. Open the water drain (3) in order to drain the rubber diaphragm (6). Press the
breather valve again in order to fill the diaphragm with air. The draining water may be
collected in a container and recycled later for cleaning the fruit or watering the garden.
Once the water has stopped draining, the Hydro Press is depressurized and the clamping
nut (9) can be loosened. Remove the washer and the lid (8). After all juices have been
extracted, the spray protection cap must be removed, the bag pulled out, and the pomace
removed (Hydro Press 20, 40, 90L). In case of the Hydro Press 180L, after the work is

completed, the press is pivoted by grabbing the handle. To refill the Hydro Press 180L,
simply pivoted it back (Hydro Press 180L, not shown)
Tips:
Even more juice can be yielded if during the starting phase a little more time will be
allowed for the juice to drain. This will cause the flow path inside of the slurry to remain
open. It can be easily regulated by opening and closing the water tap.
Grind your fruit with the perfect mill, gaining a perfect fruit pulp (fine and not too coarse)
- Please also refer to our pome fruit mill item No.: 22200. A slurry that is too fine may
generate problems with the press and makes the drainage of the juice very difficult. At
the same time, a coarse grind may prevent an optimum juice yield. Grapes must be
removed from their stems and well crushed.
This sketch shows how to work with the handle-nut on the Hydropress VA (stainless):
8Cleaning, maintenance, storage
Please clean the press as soon as possible after each use in order to prevent the sweet
juices or fruit residue to dry inside the press. Simply use water and a brush/sponge or
cloth to clean the press. Never use a wire brush or other abrasive cleaning equipment. The
press cloth can also be cleaned thoroughly with water. The cloth may be laundered in the
washing machine, using laundry detergent and a low water temperature (max. 30°C). On
the Hydropress VA (stainless) avoid contact to materials with iron or even rusty metals
also like rusty water (danger of rust)
In order to ensure a long service life of the diaphragm, the press should be stored, if
possible, in a dark room sheltered from the environment and protected from sunlight.
Continuous exposure to sunlight (UV/ozone) causes synthetic rubber products to age
faster and become brittle.
