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
Used For
- Apple (Or Similar Fruit) Cider + Deriviteves (Juice, Hard Cider, Vinegar, etc) Production
Basic Design
Piston Cylinder
- Food Grade Stainless Steel
- Four Legs Welded to bottom at an ~45 Degree Angle
- Terminates in square with holes for bolts on the bottom (possibly with funnel edges decending to it) (This is for filter paper/medium) (This may not work due to pressure involved, also doesn't allow for fast ejection of cake, just here as brainstorming for now)
