Apple & Wine Press Replacement Parts
Whether you have one tree or an orchard, we can equip you to extract every drop of delicious golden nectar from your apples. Our apple grinders and presses have the durability to work reliably for years, and they’re designed to make your part simple, easy and enjoyable!
Once your fruit is off the tree, two basic operations are involved in extracting the juice. The first is grinding the apples to a pulp. If you try to press your apples whole, you’ll get very little juice from them. But running them through a proper grinder reduces them to tiny bits that are ready to release their juice in the press.
Apple Grinding
Our Maximizer® apple grinder does an outstanding job of preparing apples for the pressing stage. Built of heavy duty cast iron with a large laminated hardwood rotor, its stainless steel teeth are engineered to make short work of bushels of fruit. The Maximizer’s heavy duty flywheel provides the necessary momentum for smooth turning. This apple grinder can be mounted to the support of your choice, and our Maximizer line of apple presses includes an optional mount for the grinder that lets it lock into position over the press basket, then swing out of the way for pressing.
Another option is our Electric Apple Grinder, which offers high speed operation that’s as easy as flipping a switch and pouring your apples in. A heavy duty baffled chute keeps hands safely away from rotating blades, and it will operate only with the chute and its attached guard in place.
Variety of Cider Presses
When your apples have been pulped, they’re ready for the cider press. Presses are available in several styles and capacities, from a 1.25 gallon tabletop fruit press clear up to a Maximizer 36L Fruit Press.
Our Maximizer® apple cider presses are very popular thanks to their capacity, features and strength. Frame members are made of rectangular steel tubing with a wall thickness of 3/16”. The Maximizer has a capacity is 9.5 gallons, and has a large diameter Acme-threaded forcing screw and long ratcheting handle that lets you develop huge pressure for maximum juice yield. The basket is stainless steel, and sits on a stainless steel juice tray. The frame is powder coated for long, rust-free service. The tip-off yoke design is a convenient time-saver that’s easy to use. The press comes with a GSAM (Grinder Swing Arm Mount) that allows press-mounting of a Maximizer fruit grinder. Maximizer cider presses are a pleasure to use and they’re built to work for generations.
MacIntosh apple presses are offered in 4 and 5 gallon models. Like our Maximizer presses, they have tip-off yokes that provide quick, full access to the pressing basket. Their frames are heavy duty to withstand pressing forces, and they’re powder coated for lasting good looks and rust prevention. These apple presses have large diameter Acme forcing screws that let you bring lots of force to bear on your pulped apples, ensuring high juice yields. The T-handles on MacIntosh apple cider presses can be operated by one person, or you can share the load with an apple-pressing friend.
The simple and stout design of our Harvest Bounty cider press incorporates a pivoting top beam and stainless steel juice tray. Offered with 4 or 5 gallon pulp capacity, this cider press has a wide, low stance for stability and its Acme forcing screw lets you apply a lot of pressure to your apple pulp for good juice yield.
Not to be overlooked, our excellent 1.25 gallon Tabletop Fruit Press (and almond milk press) has a stainless fruit pressing basket and plate. It features an anti-torque plate that fastens to your table or portable mounting board, and a fine mesh liner bag that lets you press pulped apples and a variety of other types of fruit. You can also press ground and soaked almonds for delicious almond milk!
