Basics
- An agricultural/food processing device where apples (or other similar fruit) are placed (usually in a preground state) into a chamber that has filtered vents leading into the collection vessel (buckets, barrels, bottels, etc). A Piston then decends pushing the juice out of the apples. The juice then exits through the vent into the collection vessel. Finally the compressed apple pulp (or cake) is ejected, and the process is either stopped or repeated
