In all the presses of this type it is not possible to press whole fruits. There must be a mash (strongly
crushed fruit) are produced, otherwise it is not possible a successful pressing. A wine or fruit press
cannot be compared with a juicer. Both products work completely differently. Grapes as you cannot
handle in a juicer, because the cores destroyed and bitter substances are released. Only at a cider
press the nuclei remain intact and the juice can be made into wine.
Apples, pears and other fruits must be processed before being pressed to mash. Whole, half and
quartered fruit cannot be pressed.
A good fruit mash is a prerequisite for the production of juice, wort or must. A suitable mill can be used
for grinding berries, grapes, apples, pears and potatoes or similar soft fruits / vegetables. Hard fruits
and vegetables such as sugar beets, carrots or immature or core tier fruit are not suitable for pro-
cessing fruit mills.
Especially good for further processing are, apples, pears, quince and related fruits. The relatively solid
pulp is crushed by the mill, the resulting mash increases the juice yield and allows pressing of the fruit.
Grapes, raspberries, currants and other similar fruits, should - be not ground - just like stone fruit. This
is usually not necessary because the flesh is very soft and is only surrounded by a skin. The seeds
contained in the fruit set free during milling bitter substances that would stain the juice dark brown.
A good juice quality you get when only healthy and ripe fruit is processed. Immature, overripe, rotten
and torn fruit should be discarded. Fruits that have rotten spots or involve molds may not be pro-
cessed. Fresh bruises from windfalls are not meant as long as no decay has occurred. Clean the fruit
before processing thoroughly so that no dirt enters with drinking water in the mash.
The cider press is not designed for industrial use.
1. Setting Up The Press
•Attach the three legs to the base of the press using the bolts provided.
•Raise the pressure disc by turning the handle anticlockwise.
•Slacken the wing nut on one end of the cross-beam and swing the beam and disc to one side.
•The cylindrical cage can then be lifted off the base plate.
•Wash the press with warm soapy water and rinse with fresh water, ensuring the spindle thread
is kept dry.
•We recommend attaching the press as on a table. (Mounting material is not included)
•Fill the cider press with the material to be pressed fruit.. Please use already crushed and
pressed material cored.
•Place a suitable container under the drain of the press.
•Turn the spindle using the handle slowly to press the fruit. It may be advisable that a second
person holds the press.
•If you want to increase the pressure, loosen the screw and fill in additional fruit in the press a.
The press plate should always be lowered as far as possible.
2. Fruit preparation
•It is essential that fruit is prepared before pressing.
•Apples must be crushed to a fine pulp (not a puree). Food processors are not suitable.
•Grapes and other soft fruit must be gently crushed to break the skins.
