Maximizer Fruit Press 20 Liter-GSAM + Stainless Basket

Whether you have a few apple trees or a larger orchard or vineyard, the MaximizerTM cider press provides the top quality construction and superior design features you need (The forcing screw is 1" diameter). With a Maximizer press you can quickly and easily develop pressures that will send other presses to the scrap heap. Higher pressure = higher juice yields and more production in less time. With the pull of a single pin, the Maximizer's upper yoke tips fully out of your way for full basket loading-and-unloading access. The speed and convenience of this design makes the pressing operation fast and easy. A frame made of 3/16" wall thickness steel tubing combines with a stainless steel pressing basket and stainless steel pan to make the Maximizer a cider press you'll enjoy using for many years. When shipped, the press legs are bolted down to a wooden board which you can use as a base, or reuse/recycle. The board acts to prevent damage during shipment. The Maximizer-GSAM fruit press features an integrated Grinder Swing Arm Mount (GSAM) that allows you to mount an optional apple grinder right on your press for maximum convenience and productivity. (The apple grinder is sold separately.)The GSAM provides you with a secure mount for the optional apple grinder. It puts the grinder just where you need it to rapidly pulverize apples for full juice extraction, and then just as easily it swings your grinder out of the way for pressing. Important notes: When used with the optional grinder in place, the base of the Maximizer-GSAM press must be secured to prevent tipping. You can do this by bolting the legs (using holes provided in the feet) to a base such as a wood deck or concrete pad. Another option is to bolt the feet to a 4' x 4' sheet of plywood, 1/2" thick or more (plywood not included.) Proper secure mounting of the press legs prevents tipping and also optimizes operation of both the press and the grinder.
