Medium Stainless Manual Crusher
Hopper Size 500 x 750mm.
This fantastically designed crusher makes light work of preparing fruits for pressing in your wine press. The simple yet effective design of the crusher features a pair of ridged rollers with claws (cutting knives made from acid-resistant alloy is the correct terminology) that grab the fruit driven by an enamel coated hand wheel. The crusher is designed to do around 500 to 800 kilos of fruit per hour and weighs 19 kilos. Hard fruit still needs to be chopped before it goes through the crushing process even with these sharp knives!
The crusher (made of stainless steel) is supported by a painted steel frame, and can either be sat on top of the larger press (20litre cross beam) although I prefer to sit it on top of a bucket to collect the pulped fruit. The simple design means the crusher is easy to clean and only need a quick rinse down after use.
This crusher is more suited to hard fruits (apples, pears etc.) than soft fruits. All stones need to be removed first.
Shipping Weight: 19 kg
Please note: This is an extremely capable crusher, and as such it will not reach its full potential if used with anything less than a 45 litre press. If you are using a press smaller than 45 litres please look at our Small Stainless Crusher
