Diy Fruit Press - Also a juicer has a small capacity and has to go a piece at a time, a press however has a much higher capacity. If you use a basket type press 50% would be right, the hydropress would give about 60%, a proper pack press would give 70%. You will be blown away by how great the juice is! One machine to chunk them up, and one machine to press the living crap out of them. I will eventually have a friend do the welding for me when i go larger scale. I use a mesh bag (like for hops or grains) to help filter the juice when pressing fruit. I would just give that a great scrubbing with soap and hot water.
If you use a basket type press 50% would be right, the hydropress would give about 60%, a proper pack press would give 70%. You will be blown away by how great the juice is! As they were originally designed to press fruit, cheese, lard, and stuff sausage casings, i don't think it will be a problem. 1) it's louder 2) you have to feed one apple at a time so it takes longer.
The appeal for me is that want i both a sausage stuffer and an apple press. If you use a basket type press 50% would be right, the hydropress would give about 60%, a proper pack press would give 70%. 1) it's louder 2) you have to feed one apple at a time so it takes longer. Pro's 1) it works well, 2) was a lot cheaper than buying a dedicated apple grinder and press ( i built my own press), and 3) i get more juice per bushel compared to my dad's traditional grinder and press. I would just give that a great scrubbing with soap and hot water.

I'm thinking about getting an old enterprise press but am worried that the cast iron/tinned surface will get eaten by acids and color the cider.

Btw, If You Check Out The Presentation, Look At The Mods He Did To His Hf 20 Ton Press.
Pro's 1) it works well, 2) was a lot cheaper than buying a dedicated apple grinder and press ( i built my own press), and 3) i get more juice per bushel compared to my dad's traditional grinder and press. You could seed it when you cut it up i guess. I will eventually have a friend do the welding for me when i go larger scale.

Crushing Stuff Is Fun And I Do Wish I Had A Press.
Any info will help thanks! You will be blown away by how great the juice is! The appeal for me is that want i both a sausage stuffer and an apple press. 1) it's louder 2) you have to feed one apple at a time so it takes longer.

Btw, the basket does not look like cast iron; I would just give that a great scrubbing with soap and hot water.

If you are just doing it to use up home grown fruit, the press efficiency isn't very important.

Correct me if i am wrong but most presses work better if you pulverized the fruit before pressing, unless it is a soft fruit like a grape. Also a juicer has a small capacity and has to go a piece at a time, a press however has a much higher capacity.
