The VSX range of hydropresses are ideal for smaller producers or for test batch production and offer a very cost effective way of producing a high quality juice. Presses have stainless steel baskets, lids and trays. The frames of the presses have 2 wheels for easy transport. Presses have 3 bar pressure regulators that let out all excess pressure.
Using the VSX presses could not be easier. Milled fruit is placed into a straining sack that is located between central rubber membrane and the outer stainless steel wall of the press. The bladder is then inflated with water (operating pressure is 3 bar) and the juice is squeezed out of the milled fruit pulp. The juice will run freely down the outside wall of the press into a collection tray at the bottom. The juice can then be pumped into a storage tank. Typical pressing takes time about 30 minutes.
Never use compressed air to fill the bladder. You may hear people saying that they've done it before because it's faster and easier than using water, but it's extremely dangerous.
