Apple Juicing Equipment Hire
From 2024
Hiring the Greenhouse is now an even better way to juice a bulk amount of apples.
We are really excited to announce that we now have a giant 100 bottle pasteuriser set up and ready to preserve your juice in just 20 minutes!
Apple Press Kit Hire Options
Hire for use at Home
Hiring a kit to use at home means you can make a really family and friends day of turning your apples into delicious juice, preserving it for use over the rest of the year.
We have three 40 litre apple pressing kits available to hire along with one 90 litre kit for those of you with a larger volume of apples.
Each kit comprises:
- A Speidel Fruit Mill (as pictured above) – this runs on electric and is like an oversized food liquidiser making very short work of turning your whole apples into pulp (no pre-cutting required)
- A Speidel Hydropress – this requires a water supply with a tap that has a Hoselock connection – available as a 40 litre or 90 litre press.
- 2 Pasteurisers –each holding 14 bottles of juice enabling it to be preserved for up to 2 years after pressing. Additional pasteurisers can be available if you have a large quantity of apples to process.
In addition we supply you with all the buckets and accessories meaning all you need to do is provide the apples and people-power!
We provide full instructions and our Apple Press Manager will always ensure you’re happy with how everything works before you take it away for your hire as well as providing phone or email support during your hire if required.
Hire for use in our dedicated Juicing Facility
Our Greenhouse is set up specifically for juicing and allows for a good workflow and has a glowing 5 star hygiene rating so you know you can make good juice in a clean and suitable environment.
If you are travelling a long distance to hire our equipment it can work out more cost and time effective to hire The Greenhouse, our dedicated apple pressing room, for the day. This option enables you to bring your apples to our base, hire one of our kits and do all your juicing so that you can take home your filled bottles or barrels of juice and dry pomace at the end of the day.
In addition to hiring a kit to use within the Greenhouse you now have the option to also hire our, new for 2024, giant 100 bottle pasteuriser which takes just 20 minutes to complete and will greatly speed up what is normally the slowest aspect of juicing.
Using the Greenhouse you will:
- Hire the Greenhouse pressing room
- Hire either a 40ltr or 90ltr Press Kit
- Optionally, you may now also want to hire our super-duper giant 100 bottle pasteuriser too.
- The Greenhouse can be hired by Individuals, Families or Community Groups and is a great way to bring people together for a fun day where everyone can get involved in the process. Perfect for your own Apple Day.
