5. PREPARING THE MASCHINE
The press is powered with energy derived from water pressure, and presses previously crushed
fruit towards the wall of the press basket. An efficient pressing requires a pressure of 2.5 bar
which is achieved when the press is connected to the water supply system. The membrane is
mounted axially in the middle of the pressure zone and is attached to the bottom of the
container with a flange and six screws.
Cleaning the press:
Before using the press for the first time and at the beginning of every season,
clean the press with water!
Testing the press for leaks:
Before using the press for the first time and at the beginning of every season, test the
seals for any leaks. This is done when the press is empty. Connect the press to the water
supply system same as before starting the press. The basket should be empty. Close the lid
and screw the nut. Open the water valve and let the water into the bellows. Let it flow until the
bellows start to extend slowly.
Please make sure that there is no contact between the bellows and the basket.
The bellows can be damaged if the pressing operation takes place when the
press is empty. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
Stop pressing and pour the water out before the bellows reach the basket and the pressure
reaches 0.5 bar. As soon as the water is poured out, open the lid and check the joints of the
flange and rubber at the top and beneath. If the joints are dry, the press is leak proof;
otherwise fasten the flange.
