12 Litre Cross Beam Fruit Press

12 Litre Apple Press

This 12 Litre Cross Beam Fruit Press by Vigo is a premium tool designed for extracting juice from various fruits with ease and efficiency.

Constructed from durable cast iron and sustainable beechwood, this press is built to last, offering exceptional performance year after year.

The cross beam design facilitates even pressure application, maximizing juice yield while preserving the rich flavours and nutrients of the fruit.

The press comes fully assembled and includes comprehensive instructions, a tub of lubricating grease, and a starter guide, making it user-friendly for both beginners and experienced juice makers.

Its robust cast iron base can be securely bolted to a table for enhanced stability, while the swing-away cross beam allows for easy loading of the fruit and placement of an apple crusher.

How to Use

To use the press, start by milling the fruit with an apple crusher.

Line the press cage with an optional straining bag to catch debris, fill the cage with the crushed fruit, and fold the bag's edges.

Secure the pressure plate with the butterfly nut and turn the pressing bar to apply pressure, allowing the juice to flow into a collection bucket.

This juice can be enjoyed fresh, frozen, or pasteurized.
