Small household presss for juice. Homemade press for apples and grapes. Volume and Materials

»Apples

Apple trees occasionally gifted amateur gardeners with such a large-scale harvest that excess of fruit has nowhere to give. In addition to jam and compotes, there is another option of fruit processing - juice. But many are not associated with such a type of blanks due to the high labor complexity of the process. Ordinary household juicers simply do not cope with a large volume of raw materials, and buying a professional device for the season is not ready. But there is a great option - quickly and efficiently press juice from apples on the press made with your own hands.

To independently make a standard press no special skills and drawings. Measured, sprinkle a rail, to score a nail or screw the nut, if desired, can each. Not necessarily own the welding machine, any design can be played in a wooden version. With the help of ordinary garden tools .

For the manufacture of a home press from the tools, a tree and metal (or bollard), a welding machine, screwdriver, pliers, a hammer, will be required. As for the materials, the following are mainly the following:

metal chaserler;
wooden bars, rails, boards;
self-tapping screws, bolts and nuts;
tank or barrel, steel sheet of stainless steel;
vistak screw and nut, valve, threaded rod or jack - depending on the design selected;
durable fabric with good drainage properties for bags under apples: Calica, cotton, jute burlap, flax.

Wooden elements are better to perform from oak, birch or beech, because materials from biologically active trees (spruce, pine) can change the taste of juice. With chipboard Drainage grilles do not do in any way: small dust impregnated with phenol-formaldehyde glue will fall into the product.

Types of structures: schemes and drawings

The main thing in the press is a solid foundation and working mechanism.

Principle of operation of the device:

layer through drainage grilles the prepared raw materials are stacked (crushed apples) in tissue bags;
using the mechanism the oppression goes from above And crushes juice.

A good press squeezes 65-70% juice, leaving almost dry cakes. Make such your own hands is quite real.

The design of the homemade press differ according to the principle of operation of the main mechanism:

Screw.
Based on jackt: Mechanical and hydraulic.
Combined.

In the main mass of designs, pressure turns on top, but in the combined version, compression goes in two directions: With the help of the screw mechanism from above and hydraulic jack below.

Press for pressing juice consists of the following parts:

sustainable stanina;
quantum or cylindrical housinginside which there are bags with lacknovy apples;
wooden latticeswhich are shifted bags so as not to crawl;
piston Gneu.t, directly putting pressure on the cake;
santer for jack;
working mechanism: Screw with handle, mechanical or hydraulic jack;
bowl-pallet.

The main body can be:

single perforated: Juice through the holes will be drained along the walls and through the bottom in the pallet;

double: on a perforated metal cylinder dresses a solid casing slightly more diameter;
in the form of a solid metal case with one drain opening from below;
collected from wooden rails connected by hoops- Barrel. The walls at the same time perform the functions of the drainage lattice.

The housing can not be - just a pyramid from a wooden frame-lattice in a tray with the mouth at the bottom, which is substituted with a container for juice.

This design is simply and quickly mounted. For the bottom plate, you can take a piece of countertops, for example.

Worm Mechanism or Hydraulic Jack: What to choose?

Screw (worm) The press mechanism is implemented as a large screw (threaded axis) with a nut or mechanical jack. The last option is much simpler - you can buy in the store of spare parts or get from the car's trunk, you will not need to search for anything, customize, pull and weld.

Designs based on hydraulic jack is much more productive (Effort from 1T) than mechanical, and require minimum labor costs from a person. Bottle hydraulic jacks make it possible to press the juice quickly and in large volumes. They are comfortable fit into any design.

You can construct a press with a removable mechanism, then you don't have to specifically buy a jack, but you can use duty in the trunk. After all, the harvest of apples is good not every year.

Making a press with your own hands

Press need a steady robust support - bed. The simplest thing is to collect it from wooden bars with screws. For the manufacture of metal beds, a welding machine and a chaserler will be required.

The size of the frame depends on the diameter of the working body or the parameters of the drainage grilles. Therefore, if a cabinet design is planned, you need to prepare a container in advance.

The simplest frame press with a worm mechanism

Welded stable design. The center of the upper channel is cut off the hole under the screw nut (you can use the old vertical or order from Tokarei). Nut is necessary to frame.

Then collecting wooden drainage grillewhich represents two layers of rails stuffed perpendicular to each other. The thickness of the rails is not less than 20 mm. It is also necessary to set a stand from bars. A retainer for the apparatus part of the screw is attached to the top board - any suitable metal part (can be placed on epoxy glue).

Tray is made from stainless steel sheetThe front is strung out the nose-stock. It remains to substitute a saucepan or other container. As a result, the press is obtained.

The bed for the hydraulic press is assembled on the same principle, as for the screw. As a housing, the easiest way to take the ready-made metal or wooden barrel. At the bottom, the hole is cut and equipped with a drain nose.

If the wooden barrel is not quite hermetic - even good. Juice will be merged at once in several directions, as a result, it will still be in the pallet. On this construction from above, it is better to wear a plastic casing with a raratively diameter so that there is no spray.

Wooden case can be made independently:

Need: somewhat equal to the size of the duffle (can be parquet), two stainless steel strips and anti-corrosion coating screws.
Boards on top and bottom are screwed by self-drawing Towards at a distance of about 10 mm.
Stripes with boards bend in the form of a circle, the ends of the stripes are fastened by bolts.
A plastic bowl can be suitable as a pallet With cut out below with a drainage for juice.

Another important element - focusing for the jack. It is usually done from the tree: you need to bring down the rails and cut out the circle from the received web slightly less than the diameter of the working body. You can, with the help of a grinder, cut a support from the stainless steel sheet.

Drainage pads are made as in the description for the screw pressBut they attached a round form.

As a result, the design should turn around as in the photo.

Preparation of raw materials

The principle of pressed apple juice Simple - the smaller the raw materials are chopped, the more product will be at the output. It is best to use a special chopper (crusher), since finely cut several buckets of apples by hand theoretically possible, but it is actually difficult to implement. The electric center for large volumes is also not an option: roars, howl, heats up, as a result, it can burn. A suitable crusher can also be made independently.

The simplest design of the homemade crusher

From moisture-proof plywood or sheet stainless steel slightly on the cone is mounted deep bunker. Two bars are attached to it for stability from below. A wooden roller is cut into the lower part of the tank (better from the beech) with spiral screws. As a drum, you can use the usual kitchen roller. The axis of rotation of the roller comes out, the drill is inserted into it and the process begins.

Some simply crush apples in a bucket with a building mixer.

The process of pressed juice from apples at home

After the raw materials are prepared, it folded on the plated bags or worst into pieces of fabric on the principle of envelope. Next, convolutions are stacked in the container, a basket or simply on the bottom of the design layer through drainage grilles. It is placed about 3-4 packages. The oppression is lowered from above, juice flows into the pallet. When the pressing process is completed, the mezga is removed, the following batch is loaded.

The remaining cake after high-quality pressure usually gets dry and compressed in "Tablets" (photo 16).

The squeezes are better to recycle into a compost bunch. In such material, worms are very well multiplied by creating a valuable fertilizer for the garden.

The resulting juice can not only drink fresh, but also make blanks for the winter:

pasteurized Raded juice;
apple wine several species;
apple cider.

Apples - very valuable product for health. Purchase and give up the neighbor's pigstream surplus extremely inconsistently and wasteful. By building a pair of simple devices, you can quickly and simply recycle all fruits. And in the winter it will be so nice to get useful and delicious amber drinks from the cellar or refrigerator!

A real problem for farmer - crop processing.
To realize this task with your own hands, the dream of any manufacturer of agricultural products. Especially fruits and berries, are a perishable product. Not all of the collected crop has a conditional appearance, and therefore, the same, needs to be recycled.

The presence of large yields, forces not to look for ready-made, well-known product processing devices, but quickly make, under their volumes, pressure device. Simply put - fruit vegetable press, do it yourself.

The base was taken from the corner - Fig.1. A few more pieces and simple products made of metal - Fig.2, 3, 4. I had to be copped with bolts, having previously drilled in the places you needed, holes. You can apply welding.

The main driving force of our press - progress, hydraulic car. jack.
The saucepan from the inside, we look, dense tissue type of burlap or sugar filter. The role of the filter, it will perform. Install the jack and davim!

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:

Flowing apples (berries), we fall asleep into the container with the holes. From above, fabric, lid, tree bar - for the jack support. Under the pan - the pallet with a hole, for the drain of the jacket juice. Under the hole - the container for the finished juice.

Product yield, approximately 5-8, liters of juice from 10 kg. raw. If necessary, the same can be done with vegetables. Good luck in crop processing!

Today we will talk about how to independently make a press for squeezing juice from fruits, berries and vegetables or homemade juicer with your own hands. We will also consider technology and drawings of self-made presses and juicers with visual illustrations.

There are various presses for pressing juice. The main homemade structures are screw or using a jack. A good option when using a pneumocrat or rubber chamber and compressor. Possible options for using centrifuges, for example, old washer. Press or juicers should not crush seeds and ridges located in the mezg.

Depending on the alleged volumes of raw materials processing on juice or wine, select your favorite design of the device pressing the juice. The cooking process in any case is broken into two stages: 1. Preparation of mezgi (grinding raw materials); 2. Actually, the spin itself - getting juice.

Screw Constructions Press For Pressing Juice

Usually the press consists of a pressure mechanism, baskets, bases and pressing board. The basket serves as a receiver for mezgi and is installed on the basis of the press. There is also a tray for swelling juice. The bottom and side walls of the basket are lined with a whole piece of burlap without lumen. Fabric ends should hang over the edges of the basket. Then the MEZU is loaded into the basket and cover burlap ends. From above put a wooden circle on which the press is lowered.

We present an example of another homemade press for juice. The press 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 pressed juice, a failed 3- 4 liter enameled pan is suitable (Fig. A). It is necessary to drill a hole in the bottom and consolidate the fitting in it with a hose to collect juice.
The basket is made of a sheet stainless steel with a thickness of 2 mm, on top and bottom to be welded with stainless wire bands with a diameter of 4 mm. Rings allow you to "evenly" accommodate a basket inside the pan. Pan walls are perforated with a drill with a diameter of 3 mm (randomly).

Gaskets that share the portions of raw materials loaded to the basket consist of two 2-millimeter stainless steel discs 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 of stainless steel, quite suitable tank from the old washing machine.

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.

Wedge press for pressed fruit juice

It is necessary to arrange wooden goats on four legs in a height of 1 m. Upstairs these legs are connected by a thick (9-10 cm) of the board A, the width of which is 30 cm, and the length of about 1 m. In the board we do a longitudinal slot R width 10-12 cm and long 40 cm. In this slot insert two boards in (thickness 9-10 cm), dried on top and bottom. At the bottom of both boards we associate an iron bracket B or, more easier, a fat rope.

In order for the boards to keep and not falling into a slot, we skip iron pivots or wooden sleeves in. Then, from solid wood, we produce several wedges of different thicknesses - and the press is ready. It works like this: spreading the boards b, insert the bag from a strong canvas, filled with mezg. Then, clogging into a slot of wedges, we squeeze the boards. Thus, the mezu strongly sprinkle. Juice flows down into the substituted rudder or pot.

Production of simple juicer on the principle of the lever

We take two birch boards, the length of the main board is 1 m, the width is 300 mm, the thickness is 100 mm. The second board serving the lever has a length of 1.5 m, width of 170 mm and a thickness of 20 mm. In the main board, we spend the grooves for the flow of juice (Fig. And a depth of 10-15 mm and a length of 300 mm. This board is strengthened obliquely either on separate racks, or on a special table. To it, with the help of a hinge and boards, we attach the second board-lever. Received lever press. We put 4-5 apples in the opening of 4-5 or any other fruits, pressing the lever, and the juice flows through the grooves into the substituted container.

Nowadays, more and more self-taught wizard are asked: "How to make a press for grapes with your own hands?" Grow grapes in its garden plot is easier-simple, the berry is unpretentious in care, grows quickly. Having built the press for him, it would be possible to harvest the juice for the winter or cook your homemade wine.

The press with a liter basket is twenty, it will be quite comfortable in order to harrow juice from overwhelmed grapes for wine.

Option first.

What is the press?

We will make a screw-type press and will it consist of:

Screw. Well, if it is a rectangular shape, powerful and having a thread.

Basket. Its, by the way, can be made of parquet boards. Which then you need to pull stainless wrap.
.
Tip:

And if suddenly on your, local, market suddenly will not be strips of stainless metal with the thickness you need, in this case, capture the corners on the way home. After all, they can also be coppering the boards.

The design of our press will, so to speak, self-sufficient. That is, the finished press will be without supports, on the legs. The nut will be mounted on top, and the screw rod will be screwed down. In the frame itself there will be a basket, the wort will be loaded with the ezg or grape berries

We make a basket.

We buy a couple of dozens of parquet boards: length - 320 cm, width - 50 cm and 1.5 cm thick. We buy a metal strip, 1 mm thick. Many acquire metal corners from stainless steel. In this case, they will need a pair of two meters.
At the boards, we remove the grooves with the cutter. Well, this operation can even be called useless if you have a dishwasher. Since in this case, with its brush, everything is fine with. But if there are no cars so that the grooves are not contaminated, it is better to cut them.
Now you will need stainless self-tapping screws. They are attached to the corners, the gap is not more than 12 mm. After that, with the help of a grinder cut the corner between the boards. Edges bend. They make holes for bolts.

It will be necessary to the liner, its diameter corresponds to the basket diameter. The piston is put on the ezgu grapes.

The basket height is 32 cm. The diameter inside is 29 cm. Calculated volume - 21 liters smoothly.

So, continue the topic how to make a press for grapes.

Now you need to buy:

Corners 25 mm;

Rolled, with a diameter of 6.2 mm;

Several bolts M6;

Nuts to bolts.

We collect the frame of the press.

Note that under the screw, on top of the circle, it is necessary (!!!) to put the boards.

The screw can be ordered from tokar, and you can also construct yourself if there are appropriate skills.

Screw parameters: Diameter - 30 mm, Step - 3 mm, Nut, disk with mounting holes, welded.

More details:

A small piece of plywood, as a support for the press;

Plastic bowl. They make a hole in it, put the tube into the hole.

Of course, it is possible to do everything with the help of a welding machine, but if it does not have any, and if there is no experience with this device, then the question immediately arises how to make a press for grapes without welding. This is where the thought of thought to make a press on bolts.

You can safely cook the details in the inventory, right in my apartment on the balcony.

Lack of design.

Option second.

Step one.

In order to make the juice from grapes right at home, for cooking jelly, juice, wine and other things, you will need a press. How to make a press for grapes, we will now tell.

Need a roller crusher. It can also be done by itself, for example, from the loading bucket. In this crusher and the berry will be covered. It is better to build it from a wooden frame. Add a pair of rollers to the frame, as of the tree, the handle for rotation. All elements with clipim bearings.

Step second.

We prepare all the details. We make a frame from bars: length - 70 cm, section - 4 by 10 cm. The width of the frame - look at the length of the rollers, since the width is completely dependent on the length of your rollers. The optimal can be called the size of 20 cm. Construction design, make sure that the distance between the brooms is the same.

Step Three.

For the press, the rolls need to be made corrugated, 3 cm deep. The riflation can be made screw, in this case, the shift is directed to the side for a couple, see further, the bearings are secure rolls to the frame. They will spin on different axes and at different speeds.

Step fourth.

With the same diameter of the wool, you need to make the roller diameter different. What does it give? The speed of movement in a circle will be different. For such a press, wooden buckets are needed, where the berries of grapes will be loaded. Form choose in the form of a pyramid.

Pitch fifth.

The buckets put on the rake frame. Reiki should be transverse. The distance between the bucket and roller is minimal, better, no more centimeter. Ready. It's time to secure the handle to rotate. With its help, the variety of raw materials and juice pressure will be carried out.

Step six.

At the bottom of the design we put a vessel for the collection of juice.

Berries ship in the bucket, from there they raw on the rolls. Rotating the handle, the berries are plagued and pressed until the puree works.

Step seventh.

Berries take off the bunch. Pretty rinse under the jet of water. And only then upload in the press. And when the juice is ready, we rinse the press with water and dried with a soft towel or a napkin. If it is properly not to care for him, the wood will simply begin to rot.

The presss existed in ancient Egypt, with their help squeezed out grapes from which they did wine. Such units operate on a cyclical principle: the start of work is to load the product, and the end of work is the disposal of dry waste. In private farms of the XXI century, presses are in demand, and they are not much different in their principle from those who worked during the Pharaohs.

Types of structures and their principle

The press that allows you to qualitatively press the juice, is needed in private home ownership. Factory juicers do not have such advantages as the press made by their own hands. Economic factor is also important, because a good juicer from the brand producer is a decent amount. The designs of the press are divided according to the principle of spinning to the following types:

mechanical;
pneumatic;
hydraulic.

And also, depending on the principle of energy, which is used, the press are presented by the following varieties:

manual;
electromechanical.

Important! It is also necessary to take into account the fact that vitamins in fruits and fruits are fragile elements. Such compounds are rapidly destroyed by contact with any metal.

It is worth considering an example of an apple press. The main unit of any unit is a special container with drilled holes in which the chopped raw materials are put. On professional adverbs, the initial such mass is called "Mezga". Juice flows and falls into a special vessel. All parts that are directly contacted with the product obtained are made of wood. To increase the express efficiency, as well as improve the quality of the product obtained, the raw materials are loaded in special tissue tanks from burlap, they are a kind of filter. The squeezing process itself occurs due to the use of special wooden lattices, which makes it possible to simultaneously use the entire working mass.

Many specialists pay attention to the fact that the press is better to do with your own hands. The price of the simplest devices is at least ten thousand rubles. It is important from which material the unit is made, what is its performance.

If the most simple hydraulic engine is used, then the price increases by almost 100%. If the press has a membrane element, then it will increase by 1000%.

How to make your own hands?

To make a manual apple garden unit yourself, you will need such tools like:

saws;
various wooden elements;
metal corners;
bolts with nuts;
hammers;
keys;
nippers;
pliers.

It will also require a sheet of stainless steel and wooden elements made of oak, birch, beech or alder. It is necessary to draw the design drawings, and the samples can be found on the Internet in open access. It will take natural strong fabric with good filtering properties (burlap, cotton). The chipboard is not recommended in such structures, since this material is often saturated with phenol and formaldehyde.

The handmade homemade apparatus in the conditions of private home ownership can be welded from iron, such an aggregate is easy to quickly assemble yourself. For the stove, which is located at the bottom of the device, is permissible to use the worktop. The rotating mechanism is rational to be rational to purchase on the trading platform, which sells automobile spare parts.

Also common in households small hydraulic units. Hydropress works on the principle of pressure creation due to fluid. At the same time, the working cylinder is usually vertically (sometimes horizontal modifications). The hydraulic jack has a greater productivity and is able to create significant loads - at least one ton, which is quite enough for fruits. Hydraulic "bottle" jacks can process large amounts of raw materials in a short time.

Hydraulic

The operation of the device is based on one of the main physical laws of Pascal. The main elements of the design are two cylindrical configuration workers that have different parameters. In a small container, increased fluid pressure is generated. It is applied to the camera on a special overpass, which is much larger in size, there is a pressure on the piston.

The piston is the main node, which directly has a significant effort on the mass loaded into the tank. Most often, special oils are used as working fluids.

Hydropress can also work using a special elastic barrel. It will increase in the extension of fluid. When expanding the membrane, it acts on the raw material, which is folded into the perforated container. The hydropress can be connected to the water supply, the membrane expands in the perforated cylinder itself, which makes it possible to maximize all the liquid content as much as possible from the mezgi.

The pressure must correspond 1.4-2.1 atmospheres, which meets the technical data of networks. If large volumes of the material are poured, then you will need a press with an electrically driven.

The composition of the base from the inside is placed by filters, the raw materials are placed in it, covered with a cloth. A circle is descended to the outer part of the lid, it affects the press when the rod moves. Required pressure can be created using a compressor. To collect juice, most often enameled enameled dishes, in which a special tube is robbed, so that the product is accepted through it. In the inner region often put a tank from the washing machine.

Additional perpendicular crossing should also be created to give additional stiffness so that it is possible to place a container in the central part.

It is important to monitor the pressure, it should be distributed in all points of mezgi with an equal force.

You can fill in the cavity with special filtering envelopes that are placed on the plastics. A special fixing round device is put under the container (can be made of wood) so that the pressure cannot deform the main container. Without much effort, such a screw press for 4-7 minutes is capable of pressing up to two liters of fresh juice. Material that is perfectly withstanding a large pressure is a burlap, as well as old categorous tights often apply.

It is worth noting that the design of the hydraulic unit made independently can be promptly adapted to solve the task that is currently required. Such an apparatus takes a minimum of space. Home press is able to create pressure up to twenty tons to make juices, it is quite enough.

Screw

The screw aggregate has the ability to squeeze up to three buckets of juice in one hour, which is quite enough for the needs of one family. A very comfortable device is a manual screw press. It does not differ high performance, nevertheless an aggregate can work quite efficiently. Often, it is precisely such a type of press in terms of private household. The screw mechanism can be pressed from the upper plane using a rotating screw.

If you design the press where the lower fixation is present, then more effort will be required, such a device is more complicated, it only fixes the cover, not more. The main force goes below, the dynamic pad lifts the tank up.

If there is no possibility to make a screw pair, then use the mercrate most often. Between the elements made of wood is put bags of filtering material. The product to be processed is placed between special wooden frames, juice flows into the container.

The screw piston can be changed on the plastic membrane, as well as connect the compressor so that the most severe part of the operation perform air under pressure. Such an aggregate is called a pneumatic press. Often, automobile jacks involve automotive jacks to generate the desired pressure, they can create an effort to 3.5 tons. It can be mounted both from above and below, which depends on the general device of the aggregate itself.

Pressure is quite significant, which should be taken into account when selecting fabric. It should be quite strong. The advantage of such an aggregate is that there is no metal. A tree can be any, just fadewhat not to add an excess task.

A rather original unit is still practiced, which is called a wedge press. The product is placed in a cone-shaped wooden container. A decrease in the angle with moving wedges leads to what they move to the connection. The bag with the product is compressed, the juice, squeezing, flows into the vessel. This press has the following advantages:

simple design;
economically feasible;
easy to store and mount;
pretty high productivity;
the unit is easy to disassemble, clean and dry.

As an example, you can bring the press made in Turkey. The frame is made of cast iron, and the inner part is covered with silver spraying. The product is given using a lever-type mechanism. Work occurs silently, you can remove from the product to 75% of the useful material in a very short time. It is intended for pomegranate, apples, pears, as well as citrus fruits.

Screw

Such presses operate on the principle of meat grinder. They have a rotating axis, which is made by the type of spiral, due to which the mass being processed in the tank is grinding and gradually moves inside the aggregate. As a result, it rests on the lattice, behind the new mass creates excessive pressure, the juice is spinning. Such a device has the following advantages:

lack of vibration and noise background;
you can get juices from any vegetables and fruits;
simplicity and reliability of the machine.

Citrus fruits are considered the most time-consuming product. A screw aggregate fliches the contents of the fetus, juice seeps through a special sieve. The cone-shaped configuration makes it possible to spend efficiently all the work, removing at the same time waste.

As a chopper, the mechanical node in the form of a cylinder is best used. Its walls must be made on the principle of grater. Using a similar element, fruits have become small crumbs for several minutes. And there are shredders that can work from the electrical network, the performance of such devices is large, but in the conditions of private home ownership they are not very in demand.

The chopper can be a separate device or block, which is mounted in the press installation. The filter is made of several layers of burlap, as well as perforated plates and wooden sieves.

Each type of fruits has its own technical indicators, respectively, various efforts are spent on the processing of a product. Working with such a device as the press, it should be borne in mind that the pressure is increasing gradually, while some pauses are made. Such an approach makes it possible to maximally open the cell capillaries, which in turn "takes out" all the beneficial components from the cellular tissue of the product.

Simple home press design makes it possible to squeeze up to 75% percent of juice from any product. To determine the choice of hydraulic jack, you should definitely understand what tasks need to be solved with its use. This will prompt the principle of the design of the manual hydraulic press, as well as the pressure level that it can create.

About how to create a press for apples with your own hands, look next.

In the midst of the crop season, many dacms and gardeners are trying to use the gifts of nature at the maximum. From fragrant apples for the winter, jam, dried fruits and housekeeping juices are harvested. With large volumes, conventional juicers may not cope, and the press for pressing apples in this case will have to be likewise.

Principle of operation: We make independently

Press for pressing juice can be made and with your own hands from the girlfriend, there is nothing superpower. The main task is to obtain a pure juice from crushed fruits by mechanical pressure on the mass.

Designs may be the following types:

mechanical;
pneumatic;
hydraulic.

Regardless of the type of energy, it can be powered by manually or using an electric motor. At the same time, the principle of construction is similar in all types and consists of:

perforated tank for mezgi (crushed raw materials);
press;
pallet (soccer);
bases (frames);
working mechanism (screw with handle in the case of a mechanical version).

Among homemade options are the most common:

screw (worm) press for pressing juice;
hydraulic.

How to make a screw press?

A screw version of the design is easiest. The piston itself comes into motion under the action of the screw, while the pressure on the fruit mass is carried out evenly, contributing to the most optimal survival, leaving almost dry cakes. It is believed that in this way the spin of the juice from apples is carried out by about 70%.

You can make a screw press from both wood and metal. In the first case, you can do without welding skills.

What will take:

material for manufacturing frame-support (wood or metal);
metal or wooden tank for tank and perforated tank;
screw mechanism with handle;
consumables (nuts, screws, screws).

Picture	Description
	Step 1 The reference frame is going. As a rule, it has a form of a rectangular base located vertically with the bottom frame for the pallet. If wood is used as a material, it is better not to use coniferous rocks due to resin content, which may worsen the taste quality of the product.
	Step 2. We make a tank. It can be cooked independently from the sheet of steel, but the old stainless steel tank or any suitable container is not bad. The photo clearly demonstrates the location of the perforated holes for the free exit of juice from the mezgi.
	Step 3. Screw mechanism is placed directly above the tank. At the end of the screw is a circle equal to the tank diameter for uniform pressure distribution. The manual juicer of the press press can be made on the basis of a conventional jack, in this case the pressure will be carried out not only from above, but also from the bottom.
	Step 4. The pallet must be placed under a perforated tank for collecting fluid.

For uniform pressure on the MEZU, it is necessary to decompose it into small bags of fabric or capron, so the juice will be more efficiently squeezed.

How to make a hydraulic press?

The hydraulic press for apples and other fruits is considered more productive and allows you to spend less effort on juice production. Constructive features in general terms are similar to a worm analogue, the main difference is only a mechanism for pressing fruit mass.

The instruction, located in the table, will make the press of hydraulic type at home:

	Step 1 The manufacture of the reference frame does not differ from the screw type of the device. You can use both metal design and wood frame.
	Step 2. A barrel, plastic or homemade wooden tank with a drain hole on the bottom can be used as a housing for the hydraulic press mechanism.
