STAINLESS STEEL FRUIT CRUSHER

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT: [FP130] This Stainless Steel Fruit Crusher is a monster. It can tear through any type of fruit in very little time: elderberries, grapes, pears... It doesn`t matter. Just lay the cross-arms across an open container. Put the fruit in the hopper and start cranking. That`s it. Within minutes you`ll have a barrel full of crushed fruit, ready for making wine. Perfect for someone doing 50, 100, even 200 gallons of wine at a time.

BUILT FOR ACTION: The impressive design of the Stainless Steel Fruit Crusher allows you to crank through a lot of fruit with very little effort. It uses a series of rotating and stationary knives within the hopper to rip through any fruit thrown its way. Even apples are no match.
