Grape Apple and Fruit Crushers

Crushers for Grapes Apples and all fruits with no stones!

You'll need to crush the fruit before you can press it.

Every fruit needs crushing before it's pressed! When you see those big stone wheeels going round in old cider photographs they arte crushing the apples!

After they are crushed you need to press them with one of our fantastic presses!

Grapes are soft and squidgey but you do need to squash them as well. Treading grapes is about crushing them!  Once they have been trod then they are pressed!

Crushers

!

No matter what press you buy all fruit must be crushed before you can press it.

When you see pictures of people treading grapes they are crushing them before they go to the press

Fruit must be crushed to a porridge like consistency.

You can crush small amounts fairly easily. Apples can be smacked with a mallet or soft fruits can be tackled with a potatoe masher.

For anything more than a couple of gallons of juice it's better with a crusher off us!

Electric Crusher In Stainless Steel

We searched a long time to get a decent crusher. This one is is all stainless in the working bits. The blades, funnel and ejector spout are all stainless.

It's on wheels so it can be moved about and it's got an excellent motor.

It's big enough for most uses from domestic to small industrial. Capable of handling 160kg of fruit in an hour.

It comes apart easily for cleaning and you can get at the blades simply. Very important for clean cider production where old bits of apple can ruin a batch easily.

It really chops up apples. No need to prepare them. Just pour them in the hopper.

We've not tested it to capacity but it saw off a box of apples easily. It's specifically made for apples but works well with pears and some other fruit and vegetables.

Carrots can be crushed but peaches and fruits with stones are not suitable.

Delivery is free on this item. Delivery usually from stock but please check before delivery as we may sell out at busy times of the year.
