Mesh Bag for Fruit Press, 14.5 x 20 inch
These high strength pressing/strainer bags have holes approximately 1/32". Disposable cotton cheesecloth is the traditional material to use for this purpose, but these mesh bags are much handier and they're very durable—one bag will last more than a season in normal use. They also speed the pressing process. Size is 14.5" diameter x 20" tall and they also work perfectly in smaller baskets.
If you press apples or other fruit without a cloth liner like this bag provides, at a relatively low level of pressure the pulp will start to shoot—and we do mean shoot—out through the larger gaps or perforations of the pressing basket. Without a bag, when you reach that point, no further pressure can be attainted because fruit will only continue to exit through the basket gaps. The mesh keeps pulp in the basket, allowing you to crank down on the batch with much more pressure and get much more juice from your fruit.
In addition to allowing much higher pressure and greater juice yields, these mesh bags also keep almost all pulp out of your squeezed juice, for a high degree of clarity even without filtering.
For effortless cleanup when you're done, just throw the bag in the washing machine with your next load of laundry! The bags are tough polyester, so you can use warm water and the regular wash cycle.

Love these bags -- good quality and perfect for our cider presses. Thank you for the fast service and quality product.
We needed the mesh bags to make apple cider. I was so glad to find them, and they got here just in time. The cider mill is one hundred years old. We were showing our kids and grand kids how to do it. A wonderful day!
These bags are very strong and effective. They also have the perfect filtration gauge for pressing apples.
I order the press next day realized I needed mesh Bags. Pleasant Hill Grain was great and went back and added to my order and all here in less than 5 days! Great help and great customer service.
We use this for apple cider and they work great. Only the finest of particles make it through and they are very durable.
I'm going to be using it in the press I bought from PHG this weekend. It looks good and is definitely heavy duty enough to last a while.
I was going to have a cider making party. But my old mesh bag was over 30 years old. I was happy to find just what I needed on your web. site. I received my order in a timely minter. Regards Don
Perfect item.
We were surprised how well it worked and cleaned up for next year's cider. Thanks again. Bill
Love our new press and grinder and the great customer service.
