🍏 Press juicing: how to choose a pet needs

Any gardener knows that the first half of the season, all forces leave on battle for the harvestAnd the second - in the battle with the harvest. Few collect berries, Fruits and vegetables, you need more and store them for the winter. Someone is preparing for the winter banks rolls jam or compote. And someone preserves the natural juices or making homemade wine. The theme of this material HouseShief edition - how to choose a press for juicing.

How are press for juicing

First of all, the press - is the installation, which extracts juice from fruits and berries, using a lot of pressure. press There are mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic.

mechanical presses

The easiest and most popular option - plain screw mechanical press. He made a very primitive: it is a container with perforations, which is laid cover. Screw the lid down and the juice flows through the perforations in the tank in the pan.

Such devices are made of stainless steel or solid wood such as beech. — Such devices are made of stainless steel or solid wood such as beech

Mechanical presses require effort from a person in the work and produce an average of 30 liters of juice per hour. It's a small amount, but for the ordinary suburban area that is enough. Such a mechanical press will help you not only to prepare the fruit juice, but also to remove the wax from the honeycombs, or make homemade cheese.

hydraulic presses

Hydraulic presses - is more productive options. They can be manual or electric. Instead of the perforated drainage capacity, there are several frameworks, between which are stacked fruit.

The force from the manual hydraulic press can be up to five tonnes. This pressure makes it possible to get the maximum yield of juice. — The force from the manual hydraulic press can be up to five tonnes. This pressure makes it possible to get the maximum juice output

Electrical, hydraulic presses even more powerful. Diaphragm mechanisms are used in many models, which are qualitatively and almost squeeze the berries without loss.

pneumatic presses

Unlike pneumatic presses against water only in the absence of water the membrane. The device is actuated by compressed air.

Pneumatic devices characterized by high productivity, up to 200 liters per hour and a high quality end product. — Pneumatic devices characterized by high productivity, up to 200 liters per hour and a high quality final product

How to choose a press for domestic use

The choice of this mechanism depends on several factors: how you plan to use raw materials, and in what amount you need to produce juices. If you only need to squeeze the juice for servingThere is no need for a powerful and overall mechanism.

For domestic use is much easier to use electric juicers that are simultaneously pulverized raw material and moisture is removed from it. — For domestic use is much easier to use electric juicers that are simultaneously pulverized raw material and extracting moisture from it

How to choose a press for grapes and berries

To work with the grapes best suited mechanisms, designed for 10-20 liters. For a small country site will be enough conventional screw mechanism, because a lot of effort for the extraction of berries is not required.

With the press of manufacturing homemade wines process significantly faster. — With pressure producing domestic wines process significantly accelerates

The choice of media for apples

Apples do not just lay in the masher. Previously, they definitely need to grind, otherwise you lose a lot of raw materials. For this purpose, special grinders. It is best to cope with apples hydraulic press. sufficient manual hydraulics 15-30 liters for their own area.

From the resulting juice can be prepared cider or use it for home distillation in Calvados. — From the resulting juice can be prepared cider or use it for home distillation in Calvados

What mechanism is more convenient to use

If we compare the screw and the hydraulic device, it can be said that working with the hydraulics much easier. It almost does not require you to no effort. Hydraulics gives less waste, if the build process correctly. It is possible to repeatedly actuate the mechanism with the same raw materials, achieving full pomace. Screw press will only work once.

So the conclusion is clear: the hydraulic mechanisms are more effective. But keep in mind that they are more expensive. — So the conclusion is clear: the hydraulic mechanisms are more effective. But keep in mind that they are more expensive

News of what material is better: wood or stainless steel

Stainless steel, of course, is much more practical than wood. After use, it is sufficient just to wash - and there will be no trace. Wooden tubs anyway absorb juice stain. To wash them, will require brush. But after using a wooden press to be a long and carefully dried to avoid unusual odor and mold.

The wooden press fruits often are placed in a canvas bag, then to make it easier to clean the basket. — The wooden press fruits often are placed in a canvas bag, then to make it easier to clean the basket

But, despite the fact that the steel mechanisms are more practical, many still prefer wood as a tribute to tradition. The argument is the view that the steel mechanisms react with acids juice, giving it a bad taste.

How to choose the volume of the basket

Presented in different media sales volume of the basket. Do not choose too big news, if you do not plan to process a lot of fruit.

The smallest of all presses are designed for 750 ml. They are more decorative in nature than practical. This press can squeeze a couple of oranges and just.

For small enough to work in the kitchen of a screw press for 3-5 liters. If you need to squeeze the juice of apples or grapes for baby food harvesting, this volume will be enough. — For small enough to work in the kitchen of a screw press for 3-5 liters. If you need to squeeze the juice of apples or grapes for baby food harvesting, this volume will be enough

Owners of suburban areas should pay attention to the mechanisms designed for 10-30 liter. Such hydraulic and screw presses make homemade wine from grapes or to prepare apple cider.

If you have a small farm, the volume required is much greater.

For juices and wine for sale suitable pneumatic or hydraulic device. They are capable of producing up to 200 liters per hour with a volume of 50 liters in the basket. — For juices and wine for sale suitable pneumatic or hydraulic device.

How manufacturers should trust

If you are going to buy a sufficiently powerful press for the processing of the crop in your garden, look at the domestic producers. And it's not so much patriotism, but in practicality. Chinese manufacture products are usually poor quality steel. It can leave a strange taste by reacting with acids in the juice.

The most popular manufacturer in this segment is a "Farmer" from Miass, Chelyabinsk region. This company manufactures equipment for processing of agricultural products of high quality materials using the latest technology.

Presses for squeezing juice with their hands

In principle, in the manufacture of simple mechanical press is no big deal. You can even do the usual pan as baskets. We just need to add to it a smaller diameter lid and screw mechanism.

We offer a small video clip about the manufacture of the press part of an old washing machines and natural wood:

This press can produce up to 30 liters of juice per hour, which is enough for a small economy.
