Wiltec 18L Fruit Press Apple Wine Cider incl 3 Pulp Bags

The set includes a fruit or mash press with a volume of 18 liters, as well as a total of three pressing cloths that are specifically designed for the press's volume.

The robust berry press offers ideal juice yield and a very high pressing pressure due to its metal spindle construction. Unlike presses from other suppliers, the pressing basket is made of sturdy (red) beech wood. It is manually operated by a continuous steel spindle and a robust steel catch funnel. The maximum capacity of the wooden basket is 18 liters.

Depending on the mash (finely crushed fruit), a proper pressing process can be carried out quickly and easily.

Each type of fruit requires its own preparation method. Grapes should be crushed beforehand, which can be done with a fruit mill or by hand. Pome fruits must be cored before pressing. The amount of juice yield depends on the water content of the fruit and not on the operator's effort. With proper preparation of the fruit, pressing can be done easily with one hand. It is not possible to press whole fruits with all presses of this type. A mash (finely crushed fruit) must be produced; otherwise, a successful pressing process is not possible.

A wine or fruit press cannot be compared to a juicer. Both products operate completely differently. For example, grapes cannot be processed in a juicer, as the seeds are crushed and bitter substances are released. Only with a fruit press do the seeds remain intact, allowing the juice to be processed into wine. Apples, pears, and other types of fruit must be processed into mash before pressing. Whole, halved, and quartered fruits cannot be pressed. Spindle presses are not designed for that.
