Note: If you plan to use your press for apples, you will need to grind your apples first or your juice yield will be low. This grinder is available as an accessory for use with the Ratcheting Fruit Press. The apple grinder does not mount directly to the Ratcheting Fruit Press. Grinder comes with mounting board which can be fastened to your sawhorse or similar support. (Some people prefer to grind into a bucket and dump into press, others prefer to mount the grinder higher and grind directly into the pressing basket.) Stainless steel teeth embedded in a hardwood drum make quick work of grinding apples into pulp for maximum juice yield. |

These high strength pressing bags have holes approximately 1/16" and keep pulp from squeezing out between basket slats, enabling you to get the maximum juice yield from your produce. Disposable cotton cheesecloth is the traditional material to use for this purpose, but these mesh bags are much handier and they're very durable — one bag will last more than a season in normal use. They also speed the pressing process. Size is 15" diameter x 20" tall and easily fits pressing baskets of smaller dimensions. We recommend getting two or three in case one gets torn by a twig in the pulp, caught on a nail, chewed by a critter, etc. |

This hopper extension for the grinder allows you to pile up apples that will self-feed into the grinder. |
