Lancman VSPIX 250 Fruit Press

• Juice extraction from various fruits, particularly apples and grapes, for beverage production.
• Cider and wine manufacturing, separating juice from pomace.
• Small-scale commercial food processing operations requiring efficient liquid-solid separation.
• Production of fruit purees and concentrates.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, pressing capacities commonly range from 150 to 300 kg of fruit per hour, depending on fruit type and preparation.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 230V single-phase electrical supply, though some larger models may use 400V three-phase.

Pressing method

The VSPIX series commonly utilises a hydraulic or pneumatic bladder press system, known for high juice yield and gentle extraction.

Material construction

Components in contact with fruit and juice are typically made from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

A unit of this capacity typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.0m x 1.0m, plus operational clearance.

Juice yield

Commonly achieves juice yields between 70% and 80% of the fruit weight, depending on fruit ripeness and preparation.

• What kind of fruit can this press handle?

  This type of press is primarily designed for stone fruit and pomme fruit, such as apples, pears, and grapes. It can also be used for berries and other soft fruits, often requiring prior maceration.

• Is pre-maceration or crushing required before pressing?

• What maintenance is typically involved with a used fruit press?

• Can this press be used for continuous operation?

• What are the typical safety features on such a unit?

Separators and extraction systems are valued for their reliability in sample preparation workflows across laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically seek equipment with robust construction and minimal downtime history. Key considerations when purchasing used units include chamber integrity, seal condition, and calibration documentation. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent reproducibility and easy maintenance. Established brands generally command confidence due to parts availability and technical support, though thorough inspection and performance testing remain essential before purchase.
