Product Code: KL44561 The Kegland Fruit Crusher features a food-grade stainless steel hopper with a 1.8 Gallon (7 Liter) capacity and a strong, rigid structure designed for long-term use. The high-quality crush gears use a unique design that effectively handles grapes, berries, and other soft fruits, producing a uniform mash. It is designed to break down whole grapes, berries, and soft fruit into a consistent mash so that juice can be easily extracted during pressing. This step is essential for winemaking and fruit fermentation, as properly crushed fruit allows higher juice yields and more efficient fermentation of sugars into alcohol and flavour compounds. A purpose-built crusher provides a far more efficient and reliable solution, allowing you to process fruit quickly and evenly with minimal effort. For best results, only healthy, ripe fruit should be processed, and harder fruits or vegetables should be cut into smaller pieces before crushing. After use, the crusher should be rinsed with clean potable water and thoroughly dried before storage to ensure long service life and consistent performance.
