How to make a press for berries with your own hands. Homemade press for apples and grapes. Hand control screw press


Juicer press for fruit squeezing simple design. Having made such a press, gives you the opportunity to quickly recycle a huge amount of fruit. Most of all, it is indispensable, in the harvest years, when many apples and grapes ripen in the garden.

Last fall, reading about various juicers, squeezing and focus, presses for apples (the last years used the last years), I decided to make your own press for fruit. Since the time has customized (the apples ripe and waited for the collection) did everything on the ambulance hand.

Was in the presence of a metal support with which the electricity input was previously equipped with a house, now is no longer involved (Fig. 1). On its basis, as well as the remnants of the corner (remained from the garage gate) began to make this adaptation (Fig. 2-4). Next welded everything together (Fig. 5-6). After the reason was ready, cut out the grinder in the enameled pan (there was no other) hole, found unnecessary fabric, old cover and automotive hydraulic jack (Fig. 7).

Principle of action of the press for juice, (presses for apples) Next:

1) Grind apples on a meat grinder.
2) I put the fabric into a saucepan and fall asleep ground apples.
3) Cover apples with cloth and put on top of the lid and wood.
4) I install a saucepan on a tray with a hole for the flow of juice, I put a bucket for the collection of juice under the hole.
5) With the help of a jack, squeeze juice. From the bucket (10l) of the ground apples, it turns out 6-7 liters of juice.

I plan to improve the press and use a saucepan of stainless steel or wooden grilles. Even, to accelerate the grinding process, you can use an electrical feeder. I hope someone uses my experience.

We also suggest to see other options for juicer designs: and.




As a rule, the press for pressing fruit is designed to complete the extraction of juice from them after crushing. Especially effective presses for apples in the event that the latter are carefully crushed. If the juice is required for wine, then it is recommended for a white spin to produce immediately after the crushing process. For red varieties, this procedure is done after a few days after fermentation. In this case, oxidation does not occur, and the fragrance of the squeezed juice remains unchanged, and the product itself is suitable for use. For high-quality extraction of juice, it is not recommended to press large pieces of fruits and vegetables. Manual fruit press, which will be an indispensable assistant in the preparation of fruit cocktails and other dishes, can be bought through the website of the VTK-Prom Group of Companies. This device is widely used at home.

Press for juice, advantages and principle

The most common presses for juice are screwed. These are periodic impact devices that include: base with a fixed screw, which is considered the main work mechanism; basket used for the massive mass; The pressing element, otherwise called the "Press Head". At first glance, a non-hard design ensures efficient operation. Such presss for juice allow you to squeeze the maximum of fruits in the shortest possible time. The high efficiency of the mechanism is due to the used screw technology, which allows the system to be systematically increased by pressing mass. Press for juice that use the specified principle of operation is made both with a steel case and wooden. Device platforms are performed from wood and concrete, cast iron and sheet steel. The screw press for juice is often used to produce wine. In view of the fact that it has to be powered by the efforts of the hands, he received another name - a manual press for juice.

Press for fruit, advantages and principle

To recycle a large mass, fruit presss are used with much greater productivity than juicers. The most cost-effective are those that do not consume electricity. Some are called their dream of winery. Nevertheless, the press is not the main home device of pressed fruit mass, along with it is often used and juicer. The latter is based on cold press press technology.

Getting worse reserves. Yes, and in the basement, there is nothing to let down - the July degree pretty broke the entire crop of fruit. Therefore, take a jack in the hands and make a homemade press for juice. Next details about the size and materials for the manufacture of the press do it yourself.

To the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking a press for pressing juice with their own hands

For the production of juice from apples and pears, we used the Soviet juicer for many years. But they noticed that after processing pears on the juice, the remaining cake is quite humid. Podded means of the cake squeezed a third of the volume of juice. That is, if 10 liters of juice were obtained from 20 kg of fruit, then after pressing the cake additionally received 3 liters!

This year is the harvest of ababrek, and the vitamins are needed by grandchildren, so there was a question of urgent acquisition (the apples have already slept) the press for the press of juice. But the search in the city was not crowned with success. That was why they decided to make with their own hands the press for juice using the automotive jack. Benefit is available jack at 1500 kg.

How to make a press from the jack with your own hands: Materials, sizes

Press for pressing juice consists of:

  • carrier frame
  • pallet for juice,
  • pumping dies
  • materia fabric for cake;
  • jack.

The most labor is the manufacture of a powerful frame that would withstand the pressure on the gap to 1000 kg. We made a frame from a metal profile and a corner. The width of the frame was determined by the size of the pallet - 36 cm. The height of the frame - according to the size of the pallet and the jack - 55 cm.

The side racks are made of a rectangular profile 70 * 25 with a wall of 2 mm. Bottom frame - profile 50 * 50. We tried to install the same profile and up the frame, but during the work jack began to mive the profile - too thin metal 2 mm. Therefore, the top of the frame was replaced with a corner of 50 * 5 mm. The connection of profiles is made by two bolts of 10 mm in each corner.

Cakes put in the plated packages. The material should be tight enough so that it is not broken from pressure. We used the cloth for sheets of type Bosi. Packages with cake stacked between dies with a thickness of at least 20 mm. The top plate on which the jack is installed, it is better to make a thicker - 30 mm. On the dies, you can make horizontal cuts depth of 3-5mm for better juice outflow.

Such a press from the jack with a frame made by their own hands makes much ease of fruit processing. Press is good for pressed apples, pears and grapes. The processing goes all the Padalitsa and removed from the trees "Nonland". And now in compost, we have quite pressed cakes, and vitamins will get grandchildren.

As you can see, the homemade press from the jack is easy to make it yourself. And in the farm he is an indispensable assistant. Surely and you have a metal profiles and a baking sheet on the site that the statute is a useful addition to a conventional jack from the car. Moreover, you can use not only the hydraulic jack, but also the mechanics.

About 30 years ago, in the USSR, the TV shows "that you can" is greatly popular, in which homemade devices demonstrated their developments. I remember, I somehow literally struck the unusual press for obtaining juice from apples with the help of a car jack, a developing force up to 5 tons. The originality of the structure was that the juice from the apples that were in the tank were supplanted up and merged into a separate container. Over time, I made such a press for juice and ... disillusioned in it, because of the three buckets of crushed apples I received only 5 ... 6 l of juice. One day, when trying to increase the compression force up to 5 tons, the tank was born, and it was made of stainless steel with a thickness of 4 mm.

In the future, experimenting with chopped vegetables and fruits, I came to the conclusion that for the maximum exit of the juice raw materials (up to 65 ... 70%) when using the press, it is necessary:

  • the initial raw material is crushed into a crumb size 2 ... 4 mm. Moreover, the green grass should be skipped through the meat grinder, and currant berries, blackfold rowan heat in the oven at a temperature of + 60 ° C 20 ... 30 minutes;
  • grinding raw materials decompose by portions of 1 ... 2 kg (no more!);
  • separate portions of raw materials Wrap in wipes made of durable fabric (LoveVan, Packing Calculation) with a size of 50x50 cm;
  • in the press wrapped in portions wipes, add a stack using drainage pads made of stainless steel.

It turned out that, subject to these conditions, the need for a jack was disappeared, since for a high-quality press of juice, there was enough efforts to the "screw nut", which I borrowed from water valve (the screw is made of stainless steel 40x13). After all, the efficiency of the home-made press for pressing the juice was determined not applied to raw materials, and a significant surface area of \u200b\u200bthe exhaust mass, as well as the fact that the juice from the portion could exit "in all directions", and not only from the bottom or from the sides.

How to make a homemade press for pressing juice

The design of the screw press for juice is clear from fig. 1. Actually consists of two racks with a diameter of 22 mm. From above to pipes, a p-shaped profile bent from 3-millimeter steel has been welded. The height of the profile is chosen with such a calculation so that the nut of the screw pressed into the steel sleeve is located inside freely. From below to each rack welded clamp. With the help of these two clamps, the press is attached to the windowsill. To the screw, on the one hand they welded a head with a hole for the handle, on the other - the stop is attached, which compresses the raw material.

For the collection of juice, the protested 3-liter enameled pan was approached (Fig. 2, a). The hole in the bottom I abuser and secured a fitting in it with a hose to collect juice.

The basket (Fig. 2, b) made from sheet stainless steel with a thickness of 2 mm, on top and bottom to do with a stainless steel stainless steel rings with a diameter of 4 mm. Rings allow you to "evenly" accommodate a basket inside the pan. Yes, the walls of the pan are perforated with a drill with a diameter of 3 mm (randomly).

Gaskets (Fig. 2, c), which share the portions of raw materials loaded to the basket, consist of two disks of a 2-millimeter stainless steel connected using spot welding. In the disks, the holes are drilled with a diameter of 3 mm, the holes are provided between the disks with a thickness of 4 mm (gaskets also from stainless steel). In general, all parts of the screw press are made by me from stainless steel, because at that time the stainless steel was literally lying under his feet.

Work on the pressing of the juice is as follows. The press body is fixed using clamps on the windowsill in the kitchen (you can install the press and on the table). The screw is unscrewed up to the stop. The basket is placed in the saucepan, and on the bottom of the latter put the gasket and have a napkin of durable fabric on it. Next on the napkin placed crushed raw materials (apples, fruits, herbs, berries) in the amount of 0.5 ... 1 kg. The napkin is the envelope, cover the portion with a drainage gasket, which has another napkin. Such packages should be 3 pieces, while the upper package can rise above the pots of 4 ... 6 cm. Putting on the top package the gasket is installed under the press screw. Yes, I completely forgot to say about the spacer (a circle of wood), which is put under the cart (otherwise the pan can be disretened when screwing the screw). Creasing the pressure of the screw must be twisted slowly and smoothly, watching juice output. Having finished squeezing juice, the screw is unscrewed up, the pan is transferred to the table, the cake from the napkins are removed. Depending on the type and quality of raw materials for one cycle using a homemade screw press for pressing the juice, it is possible to press 1.2 ... 1.8 l of juice, and for 1 hour to 12 ... 15 liters.

If the trees at the cottage in the season bend under the weight of fruits that require urgent processing, you must take care of the presence of a juicer. Such a problem occurs among the winemakers, among which there are no wishing to recycle the berries manually. It is quite possible to make a press for juice yourself, eliminating additional spending on the purchase of equipment that is quite expensive today.

Operating principle

Screw types can be performed by different technologies, in the process of this, parts are used by the type of old tanks, tanks from washing machines, as well as saucepan and skums. In some cases, designs are performed using a jack. If we are talking about a traditional device for producing juice, the device provides for the presence of the following components: a stubborn mechanism, baskets, pressing organ, as well as bases. The basket needs to be located on the ground, placing a tray for it to receive juice. In the last of the named elements, a chute is provided under which a hunter is installed.

Making a press with your own hands

Initially, it will be necessary to prepare the basis and frame that are performed from the metal profile. To make a press for juice, you will need to form the upper part of the frame, which should be placed horizontally. For this element, the maximum durable and rigid profile is selected, in which thick walls. This will eliminate the bending of components under load. A sheet of plywood is stacked on which a tank and pallet is installed. In order to eliminate the corrosion of the frame, it is necessary to cover the surface of the paint layer. As for plywood, it is treated with varnish.

Preparation of pallet

If you decide to independently perform a press for juice, it will be necessary to prepare a pallet, the element from the pot of large diameter can be performed as it. It will only be necessary to cut a hole in the side and glue the plastic tube into it, using it the juice will flow into the receiver. Working with the pallet, you need to act very carefully, since the product can easily break if it is inappropriate to hook or drop something on its surface. This also applies to exploitation, as the tube can be doried by negligence. In order not to worry about it, it is best to use a pallet made of stainless steel.

Tank manufacture

Press for juice must have a tank in stock, which can be performed by a galvanized wizard choosing material, you should be equipped with a planed pine timber, it should not be glued, such a sawn timber you can easily find in any construction store. The tank will be from the bar, the cross section of which should be equal to 20x40 millimeters. The lumen between the elements of this product should not be more than 5 millimeters. For the reason that wood has the essential oils, as well as resin and glycosides, in the role of a tank material, it is best to use the indifferent biological material on the type of natural wood, it can be birch, beech, or oak. As for Pine, it is usually not used when a manual press for juice is manufactured. This is due to the fact that the material has a resin, the content of which is capable of slightly affect the taste quality of juice.

Production of piston

When a press for juice is performed with your own hands, you will need to make a square of two layers of boards, which should be placed perpendicular to each other. This should use self-tapping screws as fasteners. The resulting square will allow you to get a piston, and it will be necessary to use an electric jigsaw. It is important to perform such an element that would come in diameter. Pistons should be rounded with a file, which will make it easier to install elements in the tank. The piston is also performed from biologically pure wood bokeh, birch or oak.

Work on the power element of the device

If you are manufactured for juice, you can use a screw as a power element. The jack is suitable. In order to get juice, it will be enough and which is capable of creating an effort equivalent to two tons. Among other things, a plate should be selected, which are stacked under the jack, this requirement is explained by the fact that the stroke of the piston will not be enough for the height of the tank, the jack handle will rest in the edge of the barrel.

When the screw manual press for juice is manufactured, it is possible to use a traditional galvanized hairpin for the screw. A handle and nut welded to it, in the last of which the screw will spin. To filter juice, use quite a solid fabric that has a fine grid. Polyester or lavsan is suitable.

Making a metal press

When the press is performed for juice with your own hands, you can take the steel structure as the basis. To do this, you will need to possess the skills on a lathe or plot, and also have in stock and be able to control with the welding machine. The basis is the stainless tank borrowed from the old washing machine. Two cylindrical containers devoid of the bottom are made of it. The diameter of these products should be 23 and 29 centimeters, and the height will be a single equivalent to 24 centimeters. In a smaller diameter, the cylinder needs to do holes, placing them in a checker order. Their diameter should be 8 millimeters. The inner container that will become a basket is necessary to load fruit, while the outer is for juice.

When a press press is performed, the rectangular pallet is important under cylinders, which is made of stainless steel and has dimensions of 30x50 centimeters. Pallet sides must have a triangular bevel, which is necessary for draining juice. As Poisson will perform a 21-millimeter flange. Its fixation should be tough, it is necessary to install it on the bottom of the rod.

If you decide to independently perform a press for extruding juice, then to the top of Poisson you need to weld the head with a hole that is necessary for the lever. Using the last element, the thrust mechanism will be operated. In a tandem with a screw, a nut will operate, which is installed on the P-shaped frame. The latter is fixed to the base, it can if necessary, can be concreted into the floor or fix it with the screws.

Basic secrets

If you use when you make a press for pressing juice, you do not have to pull the nut, but it is necessary to ensure sufficient strength to the base. It is in him that the mechanism that is intended for lifting the car will be designed. When using a wooden frame type press, you can operate a device without a basket. The steel element in it will perform a screw with nut and grille, which are stacked between the packages with the raw materials.
