New Press
The new press I built myself was tested today. managed to get 1.75 gallons from a box of apples. Some teething issues relating to the management of the 6 tonnes of pressure required. Some sheet metal should sort out the problems (thanks Tony).
No probs, just ensure you countersink the top steel plate since if your a few degres out, the jack will spring out , and break lots of things!!
ReplyDeleteIn addition, fasten the jack to the press plate at the bottom of the press....
