MHP-12W : Manual hydraulic fruit press 12 liters – wooden version

The manual hydraulic fruit press MHP-12W with volume capacity 12 liters is designed as cheap hydraulic press for cider producers with small production capacity.

• This hydraulic press is designed for pressing of crushed 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 insterted filtration fabric and the gaps on the body of the basket.

Description

This model is a more affordable analogue of the hydraulic press MHP-30W, due to more simple manufacture of the frame, the use of lower class lumber and the less volume. The press is suitable for a small garden with maximaly three apple trees. You may also need the manual apple crusher FRCR-100M or the  electric apple crusher FRCR-150. Using this kit can be pressed over 50 liters of apple juice per hour, if several people are working at the same time, e.g. all the family members. One person collects and washes the fruit, the other crushes the apples, and the third person just presses the juice. This press is good also for pressing juice from the grapes and other berries that grow in your garden in large amounts.

Jack, fabric for filtration and wooden blocks are attached

Each press has a 2t hydraulic jack, a piece of fabric for filtration and wooden blocks for jack as a unit. Blocks are necessary to place them under the jack, because the jack’s piston stroke is not enough for the entire height of the basket.

Oak basket

The basket and the piston are made of the 2nd class oak (there might be knots and other defects of the wood), everything is fixed by the stainless steel screws. In one cycle of pressing (apple mass loading, pressing, unloading the barrel) can be squeezed 6-8 liters of apple juice.

The drain pan is made of stainless steel.

The rings of the basket and the drain pan for juice are made of stainless steel.

Practical construction

Powder coating of the frame provides a strong and durable protective covering. On the upper part of the frame there is a special prop for jack’s centering. The rings on the piston allow easily to remove it. At the bottom of the press’s base there are plastic legs, which provide easier carrying and protection of the frame’s cover.
