Manual Apple Scratter Pulper Pomace and Traditional Fruit and Apple Press (12 Litre) with Straining Bag

With this set you have everything you need to get your harvested apples pulped, pomaced and pressed ready for home brewing; this kit includes a 12 litre press and a manual apple scratter. Ideal for pressing apples to make cider (as well as other fruits for fruit juice), the attractive, traditionally styled 12 litre fruit press will produce plenty of juice from your apple harvest, while the manual pulper will scrat the apples with ease. It can be placed on top of the apple press so that the pulp falls directly into the straining bag, ready for pressing.

Well designed and constructed to the highest standard, the press comprises a steel base plate with a hardwood pressing basket. The base plate features a lip for easy juice collection as well as a wide stance for stability. The feet of the press have small anchoring holes if needed, for additional stability; meaning the whole unit can be firmly attached to the floor ensuring the press stays in the correct position when pressing large quantities of juice.

To use, secure the stand and thread the pole into position, then place the straining bag in to the wooden pressing drum, and add your produce to be pressed from the scratter. Once the fruit pulp is in place, set up the half circle wooden fruit plates so they are at a relatively even level (they will even out once the fruit are being pressed), then sit the spacing blocks on top of the plates ready for pressing

When the red metal pressure plate and others have been positioned, screw on the vice nut and turn it clockwise to begin pressing. The fruit juices will begin flowing out of the recesses in the basket, into the funnel and then can be collected in a bucket or container. The dimensions for the 12 litre fruit press are 56cm by 35cm while the scratter measures 60cm x 70cm

Key benefits:

Easy and efficient fruit pressing: Whether making fruit juice, cider or wine, this fruit press is your go-to tool for extracting maximum liquid from your pulp. Simply load up the basket with your mashed fruit, position the pressing blocks and turn the handle  

Traditional design: As well as being highly practical for home brewing, the fruit press has an attractive aesthetic with the white painted metal of the frame and the natural wood of the basket complementing each other perfectly, lending the press a vintage, country kitchen style  

12 litre capacity: Plenty of room for pulped apples or other fruits in the 12 litre basket ensures that your homebrew has plenty of juice to get going 

Easy to clean: Whilst simple home assembly is required for the fruit press, it can just as easily be disassembled so that every part can be cleaned and maintained, extending the life of the machine

Effective fruit mashing: To produce the most juice from your fruit yield, it first needs to be turned into pulp before you press, and the cogs of this machine will do just that, easily crushing apples into fine pomace ready for juicing

Easy to use: The heavy-duty nature of the crusher helps reduce the strain from mashing your fruit, allowing you to move your juicing along at a much quicker pace. The machine can be placed on top of an apple press so that the pulp falls directly into the straining bag, ready for pressing

Dimensions: The press measures 35cm x 35cm x 56cm and the scratter measures W60cm x L70cm x H36cm
