Purpose of the press.

Press manual screw SVR-01 designed for squeezing juice from berries (grapes, etc.), fruits (apples, pears, etc.) and vegetables in household and subsidiary farms.

Design features.

Frame press SVR-01 made of ordinary (black) steel and painted with hammer enamel to protect against corrosion.

Frame press for grapes SVR-01 and the plate for collecting juice are made of alloy (stainless) steel.

The screw mechanism of the press and the piston are made of ordinary metal. During operation on the piston press SVR-01 The instructions require wearing a plastic bag.

The design of the press is designed so that when squeezing, the raw materials and the squeezed juice come into contact only with stainless steel elements, which allows the original taste and purity of the finished product to be preserved.

Features of application.

The press is not an electric juicer. You should not expect that by filling the body to the brim with berries, you will squeeze out every drop in one fell swoop, this is not so.

After you start squeezing, you will only make a few revolutions during the first approach, after which the resistance of the berries will increase greatly. Instead of increasing the lever, exerting your last strength, or calling an assistant, you just need to let the juice drain, after which the pressure will ease and it will be possible to continue squeezing. The time for complete passage of the piston, with the press fully loaded, can range from 5 to 10 minutes.

The press is needed more for the quality of the spin than for the speed.

Auxiliary accessories.

To comply with the technology, to prevent the pulp from spreading through the holes of the body and to filter the juice during extraction, for the press SVR-01 used linen bag models MV560 .

Advantages:

Environmental friendliness. Raw materials and squeezed juice come into contact only with elements from of stainless steel.

High reliability. Simplicity is the key to reliability.

Compactness. Small size and low weight of the press structure while maintaining high productivity.

Easy to use. Easy to understand. Easy to clean.

Availability Supplies. Our warehouse always has a supply of consumables for the SVR-01 press of the “Farmer” brand, see the Spare parts tab

There are various juice press designs. Basic homemade designs- these are screw or using a jack. A good option when using an air jack or a rubber bladder and a compressor. There are options for using a centrifuge, for example an old washing machine. Presses or juicers should not crush seeds and ridges located in the pulp. Depending on the expected volume of processing of raw materials into juice or wine, select the design of the juice extraction device you like. In any case, the cooking process is divided into two stages: 1. Preparation of pulp (grinding raw materials); 2. The actual extraction itself is the extraction of juice.

Screw Juice Press Designs

Typically a press consists of a pressing mechanism, a basket, a base and a pressing board. The basket serves as a receiver for the pulp and is installed on the base of the press. There is also a tray for draining juice. The bottom and side walls of the basket are lined with a whole piece of burlap without gaps. The ends of the fabric should hang over the edges of the basket. Then the pulp is loaded into the basket and covered with the ends of the burlap. A wooden circle is placed on top, onto which the press head is lowered.

Design screw juice press is clear from the pictures. Here is an example of another homemade juice press. The press consists of two pipe stands with a diameter of 22 mm. Welded to the pipes on top U-shaped profile, bent from 3mm steel. The height of the profile is chosen in such a way that a screw nut pressed into a steel sleeve can be freely placed inside. A clamp is welded to the bottom of each rack. Using these two clamps, the press is attached to the window sill. A head with a hole for the handle is welded to the screw on one side, and a stop is attached to the other, which compresses the raw material.

1 - clamp; 2 - stand pipe; 3 - crossbar; 4 - screw; 5 - emphasis; 6 - table; 7 - bushing with a pressed nut.

A leaky 3-4 liter bottle is suitable for collecting the squeezed juice. enamel pan(Fig. a). You need to drill a hole in the bottom and secure a fitting with a hose in it to collect the juice.
The basket (Fig. b) is made of stainless steel sheet 2 mm thick; bandage rings made of stainless wire with a diameter of 4 mm are welded to it on top and bottom. The rings allow the basket to fit “evenly” inside the pan. The walls of the pan are perforated with a drill with a diameter of 3 mm (in random order).

Gaskets (Fig. c), which separate portions of raw materials loaded into the basket, consist of two 2-mm stainless steel disks connected by spot welding. Holes are drilled in the disks using a drill with a diameter of 3 mm, and gaskets 4 mm thick are provided between the disks (the gaskets are also made of stainless steel). In general, all parts of the screw press are made of stainless steel; a tank from an old washing machine is quite suitable.

For getting good harvest-, as well as growing strawberries at home. The work of squeezing juice occurs as follows. The body of the press is secured with clamps on the windowsill in the kitchen (you can also install the press on the table). The screw with the stop is unscrewed until it stops. A basket is placed in the pan, and a gasket is placed on the bottom of the latter and a napkin is placed on it. durable fabric. Next, crushed raw materials (apples, fruits, herbs, berries) in an amount of 0.5...1 kg are placed on a napkin. The napkin is folded into an envelope, the portion is covered with a drainage pad, on which another napkin is placed. There should be 3 such bags, and the top bag can rise 4...6 cm above the pan. Putting a gasket on the top bag, the pan is placed under the press screw. Yes, I completely forgot to mention the spacer (a circle of wood) that is placed under the basket (otherwise the pan may become unusable when the screw is tightened). When creating pressure, the screw must be turned slowly and smoothly, monitoring the release of juice. Having finished squeezing the juice, unscrew the screw upward, transfer the pan to the table, and remove the pulp from the napkins. Depending on the type and quality of the raw material, in one cycle, using a homemade screw press for squeezing juice, it is possible to squeeze out 1.2...1.8 liters of juice, and in 1 hour - up to 12...15 liters.

Wedge press for squeezing fruit juice

It is necessary to arrange a wooden trestle on four legs B, 1 m high. At the top, these legs are connected by a thick (9-10 cm) board A, the width of which is 30 cm and the length is about 1 m. We make a longitudinal slot D in the board, 10-12 cm wide and long 40 cm. Into this slot we insert two boards B (thickness 9-10 cm), hewn at the top and bottom. At the bottom, we tie both boards with an iron bracket or, even simpler, with a thick rope. In order for the boards to hold and not fall into the slot, we pass iron pins or wooden bushings in their upper part. Then we make several wedges from hardwood different thicknesses- and the press is ready. It works like this: spreading the boards B apart, inserting a bag of strong canvas filled with pulp between them. Then, driving wedges into the slot, we squeeze the boards. This way we compress the pulp tightly. The juice flows down into a placed tub or pot.

Making a simple juicer using the lever principle

We take two birch boards, the length of the main board is 1 m, width - 300 mm, thickness - 100 mm. The second board, which serves as a lever, is 1.5 m long, 170 mm wide and 20 mm thick. In the main board we make grooves for juice drainage (Fig. a) 10-15 mm deep and 300 mm long. We strengthen this board obliquely either on separate racks or on a special table. We attach a second lever board to it using a hinge and a spacer board (Fig.b). We got a lever press. We put 4-5 apples or some other fruits in the opening, press the lever, and the juice flows down the grooves into the placed container.

Finally, examples the most simple devices for squeezing juice not requiring description. For home winemakers - a guide to making homemade grape wine

Typically, a fruit press is designed to completely extract juice from fruits after crushing. Apple presses are especially effective if the apples are thoroughly chopped. If juice is required for wine, then for white it is recommended to squeeze it immediately after the crushing process. For red varieties, this procedure is performed several days after fermentation. In this case, oxidation does not occur, and the aroma of the squeezed juices remains unchanged, and the product itself is suitable for consumption. For high-quality juice extraction, it is not recommended to squeeze large pieces of fruits and vegetables. Hand press for fruit that will become an indispensable assistant in the preparation of fruit cocktails and other dishes, can be purchased through the website of the VTK-Prom Group of Companies. This device is widely used at home.

Juice press, advantages and operating principle

The most common juice presses are screw presses. These are periodic impact devices, which include: a base with a fixed screw, which is considered the main working mechanism; a basket used for the pressed mass; pressing element, otherwise called “press head”. At first glance, the simple design provides effective work. These juice presses allow you to squeeze the most out of fruits in the shortest possible time. The high efficiency of the mechanism is due to the used screw technology, which allows you to systematically increase the pressure on the pressed mass. Juice presses that use the specified principle of operation are manufactured with both a steel body and a wooden one. Device platforms are made of wood and concrete, cast iron and sheet steel. A screw juice press is often used for wine production. Due to the fact that it has to be activated with the help of hands, it received another name - a manual juice press.

Fruit press, advantages and principle of operation

To process large quantities, fruit presses are used with much greater productivity than juicers. The most cost-effective are those that do not consume electricity. Some call them a winemaker's dream. Still, the press is not the main home device for squeezing fruit mass; along with it, a juicer is often used. The latter is based on cold technology pressing. The VTK-Prom Group of Companies invites you to purchase all these products at optimal price. High quality and durability are guaranteed, since all presented products are manufactured in our own production workshops.

At the height of the harvest season, many summer residents and amateur gardeners try to make the most of nature's gifts. Jam, dried fruits and juices are prepared from fragrant apples for the winter. home production. For large volumes, conventional juicers may not be able to cope, but an apple press will come in handy in this case.

Operating principle: we make it ourselves

Presses for squeezing juice can be made with your own hands from scrap materials; there is nothing overly complicated about it. Their main task is to obtain pure juice from crushed fruits by applying mechanical pressure to the mass.

Designs can be of the following types:

mechanical;
pneumatic;
hydraulic.

Regardless of the type, energy can be supplied manually or using an electric motor. In this case, the design principle is similar for all varieties and consists of:

perforated container for pulp (crushed raw materials);
press;
pallet (juice receiver);
bases (frames);
operating mechanism (screw with handle in the case of a mechanical version).

Among homemade options the most common:

screw (worm) press for squeezing juice;
hydraulic.

How to make a screw press?

The screw version of the design is the easiest to make. The piston itself moves under the action of the screw, while the pressure on the fruit mass is applied evenly, promoting the most optimal squeezing, leaving almost dry pulp. It is believed that approximately 70% of the juice is extracted from apples using this method.

A screw press can be made from either wood or metal. In the first case, you can do without welding skills.

What you will need:

material for making the support frame (wood or metal);
metal or wooden container for the tank and perforated tank;
screw mechanism with handle;
consumables (nuts, screws, screws).

Image	Description
	Step 1 The support frame is assembled. As a rule, it looks like rectangular base, located vertically with the lower frame for the pallet. If wood is used as a material, it is better not to use conifers due to the resin content, which may impair the taste of the product.
	Step 2 Let's make a tank. It can be built independently from a sheet of steel, but an old stainless steel tank or any suitable container will work well. The photo clearly demonstrates the location of the perforated holes for the free release of juice from the pulp.
	Step 3 The screw mechanism is located directly above the tank. At the end of the screw there is a circle equal to the diameter of the tank for uniform pressure distribution. A manual press juicer can be made on the basis of a conventional jack, in which case the pressure will be applied not only from above, but also from below.
	Step 4 A tray must be placed under a perforated tank to collect liquid.

To apply even pressure on the pulp, place it in small bags made of fabric or nylon, so the juice will be squeezed out more efficiently.

How to make a hydraulic press?

A hydraulic press for apples and other fruits is considered more productive and allows you to spend less effort on juice production. Design features V general outline similar to the worm counterpart, the main difference is only the mechanism for pressing the fruit mass.

The instructions located in the table will allow you to make a hydraulic press at home:

Image	Description
	Step 1 Manufacturing support frame no different from screw type devices. Can be used as metal structure, and a frame made of wood.
	Step 2 As a housing for the hydraulic spin mechanism, you can use a barrel, plastic or homemade wooden tank with drain hole at the bottom.

" Apples

Apple trees periodically provide amateur gardeners with such a large-scale harvest that there is nowhere to put the excess fruit. In addition to jam and compotes, there remains one more option for processing fruits - juice. But many people do not bother with this type of workpiece due to the high labor intensity of the process. Ordinary household juicers simply cannot cope with large volumes of raw materials, and not everyone is ready to buy a professional machine for the season. But there is great option– quickly and efficiently squeeze juice from apples using a home-made press.

To make a standard press yourself, you do not need special skills or drawings. Anyone can measure, saw off a strip, hammer a nail or tighten a nut if desired. It is not necessary to own a welding machine; any design can be reproduced in wood using ordinary gardening tools .

To make a home press from tools, you will need a hacksaw for wood and metal (or a grinder), welding machine, screwdrivers, pliers, hammer. As for materials, the following are mainly used:

metal channel;
wooden blocks, slats, boards;
self-tapping screws, bolts and nuts;
tank or barrel, steel sheet stainless steel;
bench screw and nut, valve, threaded rod or jack - depending on the chosen design;
durable fabric with good drainage properties for apple bags: calico, cotton, jute burlap, linen.

It is better to make wooden elements from oak, birch or beech, since materials from biologically active tree species (spruce, pine) can change the taste of the juice. Under no circumstances should drainage grates be made from chipboard: fine dust impregnated with phenol-formaldehyde glue will get into the product.

Types of designs: diagrams and drawings

The main thing in the press is solid foundation and working mechanism.

Operating principle of the device:

layer by layer through drainage grates prepared raw materials for pressing are stacked(chopped apples) in fabric bags;
by means of a mechanism oppression falls from above and presses the juice.

A good press squeezes out 65-70% of the juice, leaving an almost dry pulp. It’s quite possible to make one with your own hands.

Homemade press designs differ in the operating principle of the main mechanism:

Screw.
Jack based: mechanical and hydraulic.
Combined.

In the bulk of structures, the pressure is from above, but V combined version compression occurs in two directions: using a screw mechanism at the top and a hydraulic jack at the bottom.

The juice press consists of the following parts:

sustainable bed;
quadrangular or cylindrical frame, inside which bags of chopped apples are folded;
wooden gratings, with which the bags are transferred so that they do not spread;
piston-gne t, directly exerting pressure on the cake;
thrust bearing for a jack;
working mechanism: screw with handle, mechanical or hydraulic jack;
bowl-tray.

The main body can be:

single perforated: the juice will flow through the holes along the walls and through the bottom into the pan;

double: a solid casing with a slightly larger diameter is placed on a perforated metal cylinder;
in the form of a solid metal body with one drain hole at the bottom;
collected from wooden slats connected by hoops, − barrel. The walls serve as a drainage grid.

There may be no body at all- simply a pyramid of wooden lattice frames in a tray with a mouth at the bottom, under which a container for juice is placed.

This design easy and quick to install. For the bottom plate, you can take a piece of countertop, for example.

Worm gear or hydraulic jack: what to choose?

The screw (worm) mechanism in the press is implemented in the form of a large screw (threaded axis) with a nut or a mechanical jack. The latter option is much simpler - you can buy it at a spare parts store or take it out of the trunk of a car; you don’t need to look for, adjust, grind or weld anything.

Designs based on a hydraulic jack are much more productive(force from 1t) than mechanical ones, and require a minimum of human labor. Bottle hydraulic jacks make it possible to squeeze juice quickly and in large volumes. They fit comfortably into any design.

You can design a press with a removable mechanism, then you don’t have to buy a special jack, but you can use the one on duty in the trunk. After all, the apple harvest is not good every year.

Making a press yourself

The press needs a stable, strong support - a bed. The simplest thing is to assemble it from wooden blocks using screws. For the manufacture of metal frame You will need a welding machine and a channel.

The dimensions of the frame depend on the diameter of the working body or the parameters of the drainage grids. Therefore, if you are planning a hull structure, then you need to prepare the container in advance.

The simplest frame press with a worm mechanism

Welded stable structure. A hole is cut in the center of the upper channel for the screw nut (you can use an old bench or order it from a turner). The nut is welded into the frame.

Then Assembling a wooden drainage grate, which consists of two layers of slats packed perpendicular to each other. The thickness of the slats is not less than 20 mm. It is also necessary to install a stand made of bars. A clamp for the pressure part of the screw is attached to the top board - any suitable shape metal part(can be installed with epoxy glue).

The tray is made of stainless steel sheet, in the front part the spout-drain is arched. All that remains is to substitute a pan or other container. The result is abs.

Bed for hydraulic press assembled according to the same principle as for a screw one. The easiest way to use a body is to take a ready-made metal or wooden barrel. A hole is cut at the very bottom and equipped with a drain spout.

If wooden barrel not completely sealed - even good. The juice will drain in several directions at once, and in the end it will still end up in the pan. It is better to put it on top of such a design plastic casing larger in diameter to avoid splashing.

You can make a wooden case yourself:

Will need: several boards of equal size (can be parquet), two strips of stainless steel and self-tapping screws with an anti-corrosion coating.
The boards are screwed on top and bottom with self-tapping screws to the stripes at a distance of approximately 10 mm.
Strips with boards are bent in the form of a circle, the ends of the strips are bolted together.
A plastic bowl of suitable diameter can be used as a tray. with a drain cut out at the bottom for juice.

Another important element- jack stop. Usually made of wood: you need to knock down the slats and cut out a circle from the resulting canvas slightly smaller than the diameter of the working body. You can use a grinder to cut out a support from a stainless steel sheet.

Drainage gaskets are made in the same way as in the description for a screw press, but they are given a round shape.

The end result should be a design similar to the one in the photo.

Preparation of raw materials

The principle of squeezing apple juice simple - the finer the raw materials are chopped, the more product will be obtained at the exit. It is best to use a special chopper (crusher), since finely chopping several buckets of apples by hand is theoretically possible, but in fact difficult to implement. An electric meat grinder for large volumes is also not an option: it roars, howls, gets hot, and may eventually burn out. You can also make a suitable crusher yourself.

The simplest design of a homemade crusher

From moisture resistant plywood or sheet stainless steel, a deep hopper is mounted lightly on the cone. For stability, two bars are attached to it from below. A wooden roller (preferably made of beech) with self-tapping screws wound in a spiral is cut into the lower part of the container. You can use a regular kitchen rolling pin as a drum.. The axis of rotation of the roller comes out, a drill is inserted into it and the process begins.

Some people simply crush apples in a bucket using a construction mixer.

The process of squeezing juice from apples at home

After the raw materials are prepared, they laid out in fabric bags or wrapped in pieces of fabric like an envelope. Next, the bundles are placed in a container, basket, or simply on the bottom of the structure in layers through drainage grates. Fits about 3-4 bags. The pressure is lowered from above, the juice flows into the pan. When the squeezing process is completed, the pulp is removed and the next batch is loaded.

The remaining cake after high-quality pressure is usually obtained dry and compressed into “tablets” (photo 16).

It is better to dispose of the pomace in compost heap. Worms reproduce very well on such material, creating valuable fertilizer for the garden.

The resulting juice can not only be drunk fresh, but also prepared for the winter:

pasteurized rolled juice;
apple wine several types;
apple cider.

Apples are a very valuable product for health.. It is extremely imprudent and wasteful to bury and give away surplus crops to neighboring pigs. By building a couple of simple devices, you can quickly and easily process all the fruits. And in winter it will be so nice to take healthy and tasty amber drinks out of the cellar or refrigerator!
