Cider Press & Fruit Grinder (by American Harvester)

The American Harvester Features a 1 1/2” cast iron threaded acme screw—an industry-leading thickness that can withstand the pressing pressure needed.  Happy Valley Ranch Cider Presses' pressing disk is made of hard maple wood and has a 2” thick handle with an inset for easy lifting—ready withstand the pressure of the acme screw.  Our screw foot is made of cast iron and distributes pressure evenly.  The flywheel is 18lb cast iron construction and is attached to the grinding shaft for a smooth grinding speed.<p>

The American Harvester’s two hardwood tubs have beveled staves which aid in cleaning. They measure 12" high, 13 1/2" in diameter with banded heavy steel hoops. Each tub has an approximate capacity of a box of pulped apples. Includes two juice racks for easy flow of juice. Our frame features a four-legged construction with laminated hard maple wood. Each joint has been re-designed for a tighter fit and, as always, are notched and cross-bolted.<p>

NOTE: All bare wood is required to have a protective coating. We recommend food-safe EZ-DO.
