Fruit presses

Fruit presses are used to extract juice from various fruits and vegetables. Used in both domestic and professional settings, these machines allow for effortless production of fresh, natural juices. There are different types of fruit presses, each with specific characteristics suited to different needs.

• Pneumatic Fruit Presses: They use compressed air to drive the motor, offering efficient and hand-free pressing.
• Fruit hydro presses: They work hydraulically using water, ensuring optimal pressure with minimal physical effort.
• Fruit and vegetable screw presses : These devices operate by manually turning a crank, ideal for those who prefer a more traditional approach.
• Small-sized presses: Smaller, more compact press versions perfect for home use and small batches of fruit and vegetables.

These different press types provide solutions for every need, from small manual presses for everyday use to pneumatic and hydraulic presses for more intensive and professional use.

Fruit presses are machines designed to extract juice from fruits and, at times, vegetables. These devices can be used at home to prepare fresh, natural juices or in a professional environment to produce large amounts of juice efficiently.

They usually consist of:

• Main structure: Made of sturdy materials such as stainless steel, wood or enamelled steel, it guarantees durability and strength.
• Cage: Fruit presses available in various materials (wood, stainless steel, enamelled steel) to meet different cleaning and maintenance requirements.
• Pressure system: They can be manual, pneumatic or hydraulic, depending on the model and intended use.
• Pressure screw: Featured in screw presses, it allows pressure to be applied manually by turning a crank.

The different types of presses differ mainly in terms of operation, which can be:

• Manual: Manual operation involves using a hand crank to turn the screw and apply pressure to the fruit. This system is ideal for small amounts and for those seeking a more traditional approach.
• Pneumatic: It uses compressed air to drive the motor, eliminating the need for manual effort. This type of press is ideal for those who need to process large amounts of fruit quickly and efficiently.
• Hydraulic: It operates through a hydraulic system that employs water to apply pressure. This method guarantees constant and optimal pressure by minimising the effort required and increasing pressing efficiency.

Fruit presses, such as grapes, apples, hazelnuts, oranges, etc., bring numerous advantages for both domestic and professional use. These devices are designed to extract maximum juice from fruit while ensuring efficiency and user-friendliness.

• Extraction efficiency: Fruit presses allow more juice to be extracted compared to traditional methods, reducing waste and optimising fruit utilisation.
• Variety of models: There are different models suitable for various needs, from small manual presses for domestic use to pneumatic and hydraulic presses for professional use.
• Robust and durable materials: Built from materials such as stainless steel, wood and enamelled steel, the fruit presses are designed for durability and resistance to wear and tear.
• User-friendliness: Manual models are also designed to be user-friendly, while pneumatic and hydraulic versions almost completely avoid physical effort.
• Versatility.: These presses can be used for a variety of fruits and vegetables, making them suitable for multiple uses.

• Traditional citrus juicers: While citrus juicers are suitable for smaller amounts of juice and specific types of fruit, fruit presses provide a larger capacity.
• Juice extractors : Juice extractors are great for achieving pure, fibre-free juices, but fruit presses can manage larger volumes and are ideal for producing natural juices in generous quantities.
• Blenders: Blenders crush whole fruit, including pulp and fibre, but do not deliver the same clear juice as can be obtained with a fruit press.

Fruit and vegetable presses are divided into different types, each designed to meet specific requirements. Below is an overview of the main types of fruit presses available.

Pneumatic presses use compressed air to apply pressure on the fruit. They are mainly used to press grapes, which is why they are also called pneumatic wine presses. Thanks to this pressure, the product is squeezed against a membrane that swells and compresses the fruit against perforated walls, which in turn filter the resulting liquid. These devices are ideal for those who need to process large volumes of fruit quickly and without manual effort.

• Efficient operation: Pressure is generated by compressed air, reducing user input to a minimum.
• Large capacities: These presses are available in various sizes, with capacities of up to 80 litres.
• Low maintenance: Thanks to their design and the materials used, they require little maintenance compared to other models.

Hydro presses use hydraulic energy to extract juice from fruit, especially apples and grapes. This system is known for its efficiency and ability to generate a constant and even pressure.

• Hydraulic system: It employs water to create pressure, ensuring optimal juice extraction.
• Constant pressure: The water ensures even pressure, reducing the risk of damaging the fruit.
• User-friendliness: They are easy to use and require minimal effort on the operator's end.

Screw presses are hand-operated devices that use a screw to apply pressure to the fruit. As a sole caution, it is important that the food being processed does not contain pits. They are highly appreciated for their simple and traditional approach to pressing.

• Manual crank: Pressure is applied manually by turning a crank, allowing precise control over the process.
• Sturdy design: Made of durable materials such as stainless steel and wood, they are designed to last.
• Suitable for small amounts: Ideal for home use or for those who need to process small amounts of fruit.

Small presses are smaller and more compact versions of screw presses, designed for domestic use and for processing very small amounts of fruit and vegetables.

• Compact size: Easy to use in the kitchen due to their small size.
• Easy to handle: Lightweight and user-friendly, ideal for small daily jobs.
• Affordability: Usually cheaper compared to larger presses, they are a good option for those on a tight budget.

Fruit presses have a variety of technical features that make them suitable for different uses, ensuring efficiency and user-friendliness. Here is a detailed overview of the main technical specifications.

• Manual: Manual screw presses operate by turning a crank, giving precise control and requiring moderate physical effort. They are ideal for small amounts of fruit.
