MHP-100S : Manual hydraulic fruit press 100 liters – stainless steel version

The manual hydraulic fruit press MHP-100S with volume capacity 100 liters is designed as cheap hydraulic press for producers of fruit beverages with small production capacity.

• This hydraulic press is designed for pressing of crushed wine, apples, pears or other fruits to make the cider.
• The pressing is achieved using hand work and the manual hydraulic pump.
• Fruit is pressed through the gaps on the body of the basket.
• Material of the basket – 100% stainless steel

Technical parameters :

• Basket capacity: 100 liters
• Basket height: 600 mm
• Basket diameter: 465 mm
• Dimensions and weight of the press: 75x75x150 cm, 160 kg
• Dimensions and weight of the packaging: 120х80х170 cm, 176 kg
• Performance: 400 liters per hour

10 buckets of crushed apples are placed in the basket. In one cycle of operation (loading crushed fruit, squeezing juice, unloading) 50-70 liters of juice can be produced.

For crushing fruit in terms of productivity, the FRCR-500 electric fruit crusher is enough. With this kit, more than 400 liters of juice per hour can be squeezed, if several people work at the same time, for example, the whole family. The first person picks and washes the fruit, the second crushes the apples, and the third person presses the juice. This fruit press can also be used for pressing juice from pears, grapes, other berries, other fruits and vegetables.

Stainless steel basket, piston and drain pan

All parts of the press in contact with juice, as well as fasteners are made of food grade stainless steel AISI 304. Juice collection drain pan – thickness 2 mm; piston – thickness 12 mm. The press basket has a locking mechanism and can be easily disassembled into 2 parts, which makes it easy to extract the pulp after pressing the juice. The drain pan is equipped with a ball valve with a 25,4 mm (1″) hose tail.

Convenient design

Powder coating of the frame creates a strong and durable protective coating. On the top of the frame there is a special stop for centering the jack. The handles on the piston make it easy to take it out. On the legs of the press there are wheels with a brake mechanism for moving the press.

Everything you need to get started is already included in the set

The press set includes: metal frame with wooden platform, juice collection drain pan, basket, piston, wooden blocks (pine) – 4 pcs., 10T hydraulic jack, filtration bag (100% polyester), user guide.

Choosing a juice filtration bag

To obtain pure juice with a minimum pulp content, you need to use bags with a fine mesh: 100% polyester (lavsan) or 100% linen. Such a bag is suitable for squeezing juice from apples, pears, pineapple, ginger, rhubarb, grapes and other juicy hard fruits, berries or vegetables that contain large fibers. Berries and fruits with fine fibers will clog the filtration bag (e.g. black currant, plum, peach, etc.).

Linen fabric is very strong, one of the few fabrics that is stronger when wet rather than when dry. Linen bags are a little bit more expensive, but more environmentally friendly, since when replacing the bag, plastic does not get into nature. Linen is a natural fiber that is completely biodegradable.

If you would like to have juice with pulp, then you need to use a bag with a coarse mesh (100% polypropylene). Such a bag is suitable for pressing juice from plums, apricots, peaches, red currants, black currants and other berries and fruits. A coarse mesh bag can also be used for apples, pears and grapes, but the juice will be less clear in this case.

Recommendation: 

It is always good to have one spare bag so that the juice making process does not stop due to a torn filtration bag.
