Wine Presses
Once you have grapes, the question is, how to make wine from them? First you must extract the juice, and for that you need a grape press, usually called a wine press. We offer wine presses large enough for a small commercial enterprise, down to tabletop size.
Maximizer wine press
Maximizer® wine presses are popular by virtue of their features, grape capacity and high strength construction. The winepress frame members are 3/16” wall-thickness rectangular steel. Available in volume capacities of 5.3 and 9.5 gallons, these wine presses hold 48 and 85 lbs. of grapes, respectively. They have large diameter Acme-threaded forcing screws and ratcheting handles that let you develop high basket pressure to extract every possible drop of grape juice. Baskets slats are oak, and sit on stainless steel juice trays. Frames members are powder coated for long, maintenance-free use. The tip-off yoke design is a time-saver that’s easy to use. The press can be ordered with or without the GSAM (Grinder Swing Arm Mount) that allows press-mounting of a Maximizer fruit grinder, for use as an apple cider press. Maximizer wine presses are nice machines to use and they’re built to last for years and years.
Harvest Bounty wine press
The simple design of our Harvest Bounty wine press uses a cross-swinging beam and stainless steel juice tray. Offered with four or five gallon pulp capacity (36 or 45 lbs. of grapes), this wine press has a wide stance for stability and its Acme forcing screw lets you apply a lot of pressure to your grapes for good juice yield.
Tabletop wine press
Our 1.25 gallon Tabletop Wine Press (and almond milk press) with stainless steel pressing basket and plate is small but heavy-duty. It features an anti-rotation plate that screws down to your table or portable mounting board, and a fine mesh liner bag that lets you press grapes and a variety of other types of fruit. It also serves perfectly also a vegetable press, or a nut press to make a variety of nut milks including delicious almond milk.
