It seems a bit fierce for a slack handful of apples - perhaps it's one of these ?

Indeed. On the right side I too got all kinds of suggestions about presses for paper, sawdust or other kinds of bricks.

But I doubt if apples or other fruit can withstand the pressure.

Well, of it can press all the water out of paper or wood pulp, it can certainly press juice out of fruit.
And I have seen several design of fruitpresses based on jacks.

Translation of written text is rather good, nowadays. But indeed: the fellow seems nice, jolly and knowing, so I too wait for a spoken word translator.

I agree - that apparatus is very strong, but I have no doubt it would "juice" fruit However I think it could be adapted to do 25 litres of fruit easy enough. I think the "Giveaway" is the drop bottom on the presses - which wuuld easily let the "Logs" fall out. - Put a washing machine drum in place of the 4 little "log" formers - and I think you're in bsiness !

this post made me go out in the shop and look for some 12" pvc water pipe.

I thought I had, turns out its only 10" however it is 11/64" wall.

for you metric folks. 4.3656. and the engineers, .1719

food for thought. I'm waiting for cranky to weigh in on this.
