Function:
The apple mud (shreddered before with a machine) is packed in special press mats, between this mats are wooden grids. Other press technologies are thinkable.
Between the lower bridge and the middle slide there is a hydraulic truck jack, that pushes the slide up towards the upper bridge.
There is a tub made of V2A under all, up on the middle slide, the juice runs in that, then in bigger cans.
Between the slide and the upper bridge there is the fruit mud. The way that the jack can make is not as far as needed, so you can lower the upper bridge after the first press run and fix it again with bolts.
The jack moves down of the weight of the slide and fruit mud.
The press is completely removeable, only plugged with bolts.
So it is possible to do a transport with a little car, if the press is needed at another place.
The main frame of press is only made of 4 differnt parts:
2x pipes 88,9mm (3"), DIN 2458, 1400 long (for 800 work height)
6x square tube 100x100x4, DIN 2395, 250 long
6x U-160x65, 800 long
4x Bolts 20mm diameter, ~150 long
The press is also usable for workshop purposes (maybe a more precise slide is necessary). An improvement is to use a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder to speed up the pressing process.
The press will be built in the next days, then there are practic expiriences, and we what to improve.
After a testing period the drawings will be released as a contribution to Open Source Ecology.
