40L Hydraulic / Hydropress / Bladder Press - Food Grade 304 Stainless Steel

This 40 Litre Hydropress provides a simple, highly effective method of extracting juice from apples, pears, berries or grapes for juice, wine or cider making. It can also be used as a cheese press or for honeycomb.

High-Quality Material: Water-powered press is made of Food-Grade Stainless Steel, resistant to rust and corrosion, easy to wash, and wipe clean after use. With three stable steel legs. Best suited to be used outdoors where you can hose away any accidental spills of fruit and juice.

Electricity-Free: Hydraulic juicer uses water to produce pressure for natural juice making, winemaking and cheese making. It’s energy-saving and space-saving. If pressure exceeded, it will be released automatically, safe and easy to operate.

Also called a Bladder Press, they work by expanding a rubber bladder using household water pressure via a garden hose. Since the bladder is situated in the center of the press, the grapes/fruit are squeezed from the inside out in a uniform fashion even if the basket is only partially filled. This is a much more effective way of pressing fruit pulp as it allows a wider surface area for the juice to be extracted. Comparing to traditional hydraulic top down presses, large amounts of streaming and blockages would be trapped within the bulk matter. The hydropress is also used on a mammoth scale in wineries as it is by far the most effective means of extraction without electrical power.

When pressing normal mains water pressure of 2.5 to 3 bar it will generate around 20 tonnes of pressing power. The pressure applied and the duration of pressing can be regulated simply by opening or closing the water tap. 

Important: Keep the grey bladder out of direct sunlight for storage, A black garbage bag makes an excellent cover that will protect your gear for years to come.
