The referenced equipment represents a combined system used for extracting juice from apples. The press applies pressure to crushed apples to separate the liquid from the pulp, while the grinder (sometimes called a crusher or scratter) prepares the fruit by breaking it down into a suitable consistency for pressing. The availability of such systems on the market indicates a demand for producing homemade cider or juice.
Acquiring the equipment offers advantages like controlling the ingredients and process of cider production, yielding a fresh, unpasteurized beverage. Historically, owning and operating a pressing and grinding setup was a common practice in rural communities for making cider for personal consumption or small-scale commercial ventures. These systems allow for a connection to traditional food preparation methods and a sustainable use of harvested apples.
