Solid US Oak wood basket Thread type pressing device Cast Iron or Rachet type Handle Envionmental Friendly Surface Treatment It is beautifully made, with a heavy duty pressed steel base covered with a hard wearing enamel coating, a beech cage bound with enameled steel rings, a stainless steel spindle and cast iron press mechanism.

Operation is quite simple, just place your fruit in the cage, place the pressing plate on top, stack up the padding blocks on top of the plate and then screw the pressing mechanism down onto the blocks thus pressing the fruit, and squeezing out all that valuable juice.

All of our presses come pre-assembled, with only the handle and ratchet blades needing to be placed into operational position. See the wine press instructions for more information.
