Press your own fruits at home safely and efficiently with the Maximizer Press!
The 36L stainless steel tub can generate approximately 25-30 gallons of cider per hour by turning the adjustable handle on the top of the machine, which is equipped for horizontal and vertical use. Place a nylon, cheesecloth or polyester bag inside the press to ensure that all solids (seeds & stems) are trapped inside, and use a bucket to collect the liquid product from the draining hole in the base.
We recommend that two adults collaborate to move the press safely.
