This all stainless steel electric apple mill makes short work of milling apples and pears, which are fed steadily into the hopper by hand. It produces a fine fruit pulp ideal for pressing.
This apple press is at the top end of our hobby range and the start of our commercial range of hand operated presses, and replicates the action of a traditional 'pack' press
Vigo Stainless Steel Electric 1.5kW Apple Mill and Rack and cloth apple and fruit and cider press

Apples or pears fed into the conical hopper are pulverised by stainless steel blades. The pomace (pulp) is then discharged through the chute into your bucket. Swing the hinged cross beam off the press. Place an acacia rack on the juice tray and position the former on the rack. Drape a cloth over the former and fill the cloth with crushed apples (2" deep). Fold the edges of the cloth into the centre. Remove the former and place an acacia rack on top of the cloth, and repeat this process until you have several layers - known as a 'cheese'. There is no need to place an acacia rack on top of the final cheese.
Place the heavy wooden pressure/bearing block on top of the 'cheese', lining the screw up with metal bearing. Place the handle in the slot and use the ratchet mechanism to lower the pressure plate. The thin layers of pomace allow the juice to flow laterally to give a quick and high yield of juice. 2 buckets of at least 27.5 litre capacity will be needed to catch the juice.
With the mill running, use a hose to gently run water down the inside of the hopper. Completely disconnect mill from the electric supply, undo the wingnuts and remove the hopper. Carefully clean the blades and base plate with a hose running at a trickle and a brush, without allowing water onto the motor. Replace hopper and store in a dry place.
