Cider Presses & Fruit Crushers

Shop cider presses, apple presses and fruit crushers for turning apples, pears and other suitable fruit into juice for cider making. Choose compact worktop presses, 12 litre fruit presses, larger hydraulic models, crushers and press bags.

Choosing a Fruit Press for Cider

A 4.5 litre worktop press suits small batches and trial runs. A 12 litre cider press gives greater capacity for seasonal apple harvests, while larger hydraulic fruit presses are suited to higher-volume processing. Product capacities refer to basket size, not guaranteed juice yield.

Do I Need a Fruit Crusher?

Apples and other firm fruit should be crushed into pulp before pressing. A Pulpmaster or fruit crusher breaks the fruit down so the press can extract juice more efficiently. Softer fruit may need different preparation; follow your recipe and the equipment instructions.

Press Bags and Accessories

Use a compatible press bag to contain the pulp while the juice drains. Match the bag size and mesh to the press and fruit, and clean all food-contact parts before and after use.
