**Back in stock w/c 31st August 2026, please contact for more information**

A20 litre fruit press constructed from solid cast iron, a tub of food grade grease and a beginners guide to making fruit juice and cider.

• 18kg basket capacity, yielding up to 8 litres / 14 pints of juice per pressing (dependent on fruit variety and ripeness).
• Built in ratchet mechanism for easier pressing.
• Uncompromising build quality: Solid cast iron base and crossbeam, stainless steel tray and screw mechanism and solid beechwood cage and pressure plate.
• An excellent, traditional fruit press thats ideal for those with several productive apple trees or grapevines. It will produce a good quantity of juice quickly.

We would recommend adding a straining bag (not included) to gather unwanted debris and residue when pressing.

Please note thatapples must be crushed into a pomace before pressing, and we recommend checking out our ‘How To Crush Apples’for further information. For a low-budget option we suggest pairing this press with the popular ‘Pulpmaster with Bucket’.
