12 Litre Cast Iron Apple/Fruit Press

A step up from the spindle presses this is our best selling press and a firm favourite with families, Apple Days and community groups alike! The crossbeam makes all the difference; it swings away from the press so that you can crush your fruit directly into the basket and empty your used pulp really easily. Put the Classic Crusher A on top, grab a willing friend to help and it’s very efficient, easily producing up to 13.5 litres (3 gallons) an hour. Using only the very best materials; cast iron for the base plate, legs, spindle nut and crossbeam, sustainable beech for the basket and stainless steel for the handle, this press should last a lifetime. Use with a straining bag.

The press basket has holds 11 kg (24 lbs) of crushed fruit. Press apples and any soft seeded fruit like grapes, pears, raspberries, strawberries and more!
