Powered fruit crusher MMS55

It is designed for crushing various types of fruit such as apples, pears, quinces, aronia, peaches, apricots, figs and vegetables such as carrots, peppers, beetroot, tomatoes, onions and horseradish. Stones must be removed before crushing.

The fineness of the crushing can be adjusted by changing the blade. The standard equipment includes three different blades that can be used depending on the type of fruit/vegetable and the desired thickness of the fruit mash.

A fruit and apple crusher, also known as a fruit mill, is used to crush fruits into a fine pulp or mash. This process is an essential step in various fruit processing applications. Here are the main uses of a fruit crusher:

1. Juice Extraction:

   • Preparation for Pressing: Crushing fruit into a mash makes it easier to press and extract juice. This is particularly important for fruits with firm textures like apples and pears.
   • Increased Yield: Crushing the fruit increases the surface area, allowing more juice to be extracted compared to pressing whole fruits. Use Zottel hydropress for pressing crushed fruits rapidly, efficiently and without physical effort. 

2. Fermentation:

   • Wine Making: In winemaking, crushing grapes breaks the skins, releasing the juice and pulp, which is necessary for fermentation. This allows the yeast to access the sugars in the fruit more effectively.
   • Cider Production: Similar to wine, cider production involves crushing apples to create a pulp that can be fermented into alcoholic cider.

3. Jam and Preserve Making:

   • Texture Preparation: For making jams, jellies, and preserves, fruits need to be crushed to achieve the desired consistency. The crushing process breaks down the fruit, making it easier to cook and blend into a smooth mixture.

4. Fruit Purees:

   • Smooth Consistency: Crushing fruits into a fine pulp is the first step in making purees, which are used in various culinary applications, including baby food, sauces, and desserts.

5. Fruit-Based Products:

   • Homogeneous Mixture: For products like fruit leather, sauces, and certain confectioneries, a homogeneous fruit mash ensures consistent flavor and texture.

In summary, a fruit crusher is used to break down fruits into a manageable and processable form, facilitating juice extraction, fermentation, and the creation of various fruit-based products. It is an essential tool in both small-scale home operations and large-scale commercial fruit processing industries.
