juice & cider making

APPLE & FRUIT MILLS

Apples must be crushed to a fine pulp before pressing. The yield of juice is determined as much by the efficiency of crushing as by the power of the press. All apple mills are suitable for pears and can be used for a wide range of other fruits (except those with stones – see miscellaneous section for de-stoning machines)

Speidel centrifugal mill

These mills are suitable for the enthusiastic amateur. Fruit is fed through a heavy duty PE plastic hopper into the milling chamber, sliced and pulverised by a three part stainless steel blade system and then discharged from a narrow chute. This is a very safe and thorough system. The mill is fitted with a motor cut out switch that inactivates the mill if the hopper is removed.

Voran RM 2.2 centrifugal mill

This is a robust, heavy duty, high speed mill for commercial operations. A single heavy rotor in the milling chamber pulverises the fruit which is then discharged through a perforated screen. Different sizes of screen are available to produce mash of optimum consistency from fruits of varying qualities.

Voran Pomace trough

Glass reinforced plastic trough to fit under the Voran RM 2.2 mill. The sloping end and smooth sides make shovelling pomace very easy.

Voran RM 5.5 mill

A high speed mill with a capacity of 4200 kg per hour, fitted with an easy-access hinged hopper and motor with brake. A range of 16 different mill screen patterns and sizes ensures that the ideal pomace can be produced. Vigo can fit these mills to existing apple elevator and pomace pumping systems. Variants of this machine are available for vegetable pulping.
