Fruit presses

The fruit press category includes machines used to process fruit and vegetables, from which juice can then be extracted. Used in both domestic and professional settings, these machines allow you to obtain fresh, natural juices effortlessly. There are different types of fruit presses, each with specific characteristics suited to different needs.

• Pneumatic fruit presses: these are ideal for quickly and easily obtaining wine, cider and juice by cold pressing fruit and vegetables. These presses use the air pressure of an air compressor to crush the product against a membrane which inflates and compresses the food against perforated walls, which in turn filter the liquid obtained.
• Fruit hydropresses: these allow juice to be extracted from apples, grapes and other fruit. As the name suggests, they use water pressure to press the food and quickly obtain cider and juices with a very high yield.
• Screw presses for fruit and vegetables: these are manual fruit presses that use a manually operated press. The only thing to bear in mind is that the food being processed must not contain any stones.
• Small presses: these machines are smaller than manual fruit presses and share the same working method, with the only difference being that they can press a smaller quantity of fruit and vegetables.

All these machines have more or less the same function, namely to squeeze fruit and vegetables to obtain juice, but what differentiates them are the methods by which they work.

The different types of presses offer solutions to suit 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 fruit and sometimes vegetables. These devices can be used in the home to prepare fresh, natural juices or in a professional setting to produce large quantities 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 resistance over time.
• Cage: Holds the fruit to be pressed and is available in various materials (wood, stainless steel, enamelled steel) to meet different cleaning and maintenance requirements.
• Pressure system: This can be manual, pneumatic or hydraulic depending on the model and intended use.
• Pressure screw: Found in screw presses, it allows pressure to be applied manually by turning a crank.

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

• Manual: Manual operation involves using a crank to turn the screw and apply pressure to the fruit. This system is ideal for small quantities and for those looking for a more traditional approach.
• Pneumatic: Uses compressed air to power the motor, eliminating the need for manual effort. This type of press is ideal for those who need to process large quantities of fruit quickly and efficiently.
• Hydraulic: Operates via a hydraulic system that uses water to apply pressure. This method ensures constant, optimal pressure, minimising the effort required and increasing pressing efficiency.

Presses for fruit such as grapes, apples, hazelnuts, oranges, etc. offer numerous advantages for both domestic and professional use. These devices are designed to extract the maximum amount of juice from fruit, ensuring efficiency and ease of use.

• Extraction efficiency: Fruit presses allow you to extract more juice than traditional methods, reducing waste and optimising the use of fruit.
• Variety of models: There are several models suitable for various needs, from small manual presses for domestic use to pneumatic and hydraulic presses for professional use.
• Sturdy and durable materials: Made from materials such as stainless steel, wood and enamelled steel, fruit presses are designed to last and withstand wear and tear.
• Ease of use: Even manual models are designed to be easy to use, while pneumatic and hydraulic versions eliminate physical effort almost entirely.
• Versatility: These presses can be used for different types of fruit and vegetables, making them suitable for multiple uses.

• Traditional juicers: While juicers are suitable for smaller quantities of juice and specific types of fruit, fruit presses offer greater capacity.
• Juice extractors: Juice extractors are excellent for obtaining pure, fibre-free juices, but fruit presses can handle larger volumes and are ideal for producing natural juices in significant quantities.
• Blenders: Blenders chop up whole fruit, including pulp and fibre, but do not offer the same purity and quantity of juice that can be obtained with a fruit press.

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

Pneumatic presses use compressed air to exert pressure on the fruit. They are mainly used to press grapes, which is why they are also called pneumatic wine presses. This pressure crushes the product against a membrane which inflates and compresses the food against perforated walls, which in turn filter the liquid obtained. These devices are ideal for those who need to process large quantities of fruit quickly and without manual effort.

• Efficient operation: Pressure is generated by compressed air, minimising human intervention.
• High capacity: 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.

Hydropresses use hydraulic energy to extract juice from fruit, particularly apples and grapes. This system is known for its efficiency and ability to generate constant and uniform pressure.

• Hydraulic system: It uses water to create pressure, ensuring optimal juice extraction.
• Constant pressure: Water ensures uniform pressure, reducing the risk of damaging the fruit.
• Ease of use: They are simple to use and require minimal effort on the part of the operator.

Screw presses are manual devices that use a screw to apply pressure to the fruit. The only thing to bear in mind is that the food being processed must not contain any stones. They are particularly popular for their simplicity and traditional approach to pressing.

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

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

• Compact size: Easy to use in the kitchen thanks to their small size.
• Easy to handle: Lightweight and simple to use, ideal for small daily tasks.
• Affordable: Usually cheaper than larger presses, they are an excellent choice for those on a limited budget.
