• An extremely simple, highly effective pressing system that uses mains water pressure to extract high levels of juice from milled apples and pears, crushed grapes and pressing small or seeded soft fruits, e.g., blackberries and elderberries
• An excellent press for those who have several productive apple trees or grapevines and are interested in producing juice swiftly and virtually effortlessly
• Capacity:  juice yield of up to 31-50 litres / 55-87½ pints per pressing, depending on variety and ripeness of fruit
• When used with apples and pears, this press is only truly effective when the fruit has been finely milled using the Speidel apple mill
• Achieves high juice yields and excellent juice quality
• It should be possible to carry out 3 pressings per hour
• Once filled, the press can take less than 5 minutes to extract juice!

How it works:
(please note, movie (which requires Flash 8) shows a 40 litre Hydropress)

Line the stainless steel perforated stainless steel cylinder with the straining sack and scoop the fruit pulp into the cylinder around the deflated rubber membrane.  Clamp the strong cast lid on top of the cylinder.  Connect a ½" water hose to the bottom of the press (connections supplied) and turn on the mains water pressure.  The pressure of the water inflates the rubber membrane, forcing the juice out through the peforations in the cylinder into the press juice channel, and so to a waiting vessel.

After care:

The maintenance of the press is very simple: just rinse with fresh water after use and store in a dry, dark place.
