This press will squeeze liquids from many different types of fruits. It is ideal for pressing produce such as olives, tomatoes, eggplant and grapes and can also be used to press water from any soft fruit, vegetable or cheese. Steel construction with stainless steel strainer and collection bowl.

Press 3 Lt - Internatl basket approx. Diameter 14 x Height 13 cm.

The internal basket is stainless steel. For home use. For pressing off excess water from most soft fruit and vegetables. Can be used for cheese.

These high strength pressing/strainer bags have holes approximately 1/32". Disposable cotton cheesecloth is the traditional material to use for this purpose, but these mesh bags are much handier and they're very durable—one bag will last more than a season in normal use. They also speed the pressing process. 

If you press apples or other fruit without a cloth liner like this bag provides, at a relatively low level of pressure the pulp will start to shoot out through the larger gaps or perforations of the pressing basket. Without a bag, when you reach that point, no further pressure can be attainted because fruit will only continue to exit through the basket gaps. The mesh keeps pulp in the basket, allowing you to crank down on the batch with much more pressure and get much more juice from your fruit.

These woven cloth liners for fruit presses are perfect for allowing much higher pressure and greater juice yields, these mesh bags also keep almost all pulp out of your squeezed juice, for a high degree of clarity even without filtering.

These bags are available in mutiple sizes when available from 15cm diameter to 50cm diameter

A grape must drain screen made in Italy, 1100mm long and 200mm in diameter, with perforated holes and handles at each end. It is a customised fitting rather than an off the shelf part, built for draining must during vintage.

Because it is made to size, check the dimensions against your vat or press before ordering and we will talk it through.

A set of two half moon pressing blocks for a 35cm basket press. They sit on top of the cake and spread the load from the plate evenly across it.

The title specifies a 35cm basket, so these will not suit a larger or smaller press. Measure the internal diameter of your own basket before ordering rather than going by the model name.

The 58cm spare ratchet bar rod for the Fratelli Baesso press head, to suit 45 to 50 presses. Supplied as one rod on its own. Worth having a spare in the shed if you press a big run each autumn, because a bent bar will stop you mid batch with fruit already in the basket. Confirm your press size and bar length with us if you are unsure.

A 65cm spare ratchet bar rod for the Fratelli Baesso press head, to suit 55 to 60 presses. The ratchet bar takes the full load every time you press, so a bent or chewed one is worth swapping rather than persevering with. Supplied as the single rod. Measure your existing bar and confirm your press size with us before ordering.

A woven cloth liner for a press basket, with medium pores. The liner holds the pomace back while the juice runs through, which keeps your press cleaner and your juice a good deal tidier. Medium pores sit between free running and fine filtering. Measure your basket before ordering so the liner sits properly inside it.
