In recent years, many have felt that high-quality food in our stores is almost never found.
This is especially true of natural fruit juices, most of which is "nectar", richly flavored with citric acid and made from concentrates. Of course, I want something of my own, since you can not think about the naturalness of the product.
If you are interested in the production technology of this product, you are aware that you will need a juicer. For apples, making it yourself is quite possible.
First idea
Imagine a bucket? Ordinary, in the shape of a cone, but made in the image and likeness of a wooden barrel? It is with this pattern that you can make an excellent juicer.
To do this, you will need to assemble the frame from properly processed oak planks, between which 1.5-2 centimeters are left. As a “piston”, a cone-shaped pallet specially cut from wood is used, the diameter of which coincides with the “bucket”.
We make the pallet out of plastic, and in it you need to make a hole in it for installing the drain hose. Tie hoops are also best made from plastic. Such a juicer for apples with your own hands is good because the juice does not come in contact with the metal. This means that all useful substances and trace elements remain in it.
To squeeze the juice, apples must first be crushed using any improvised means (but it is better to take a meat grinder).
Second way
This type of juicer has amazing performance. But it is suitable only for those who have an old washing machine (round, with a metal case). Such a juicer for apples with your own hands will allow you to process the crop in tons.
How do they do it? Instead of kruglyasha at the bottom (which is responsible for the rotation of the laundry with water) set a screw or impeller with cutting planes. The stock is left the same. Washed and peeled apples are loaded into the miracle machine, tightly closed with a lid, and the drain hose is put into a suitable container. After every 10-15 minutes of operation, the unit is stopped, waiting for the discharge of the resulting product.
This is the largest apple juicer. Up to several buckets of pure juice can be produced per hour.
Third option
In this case, you will need a large pot, drill and a kind of auger, which can be made in the image and likeness of a fishing ice drill. Holes of such a diameter are drilled in the bottom of the pan so that only juice (about five millimeters) passes through them. We mount our unit on a drill, after which we turn the washed apples, which you previously poured into the pan, into small mincemeat.
This DIY apple juice squeezer is very easy to manufacture and very effective.
The simplest solution
In this case, you only need a meat grinder and some kind of dense fabric. Apples turn into a homogeneous mass, lay it in this matter, and then put the bundle under any kind of press. They can even be an ordinary clean board, qualitatively planed and sanded.
So you have learned how to make an apple juicer. As you can see, there are enough options.
