Correll Cider Presses
Updated November, 2008
Welcome to the Correll Cider Press website. I have been refining my cider press design since 1973, and have hand-made over 3400 high-quality presses! These are the original Correll Cider Presses still manufactured by Bob Correll.
Correll Cider presses come in two models, the Heirloom and Standard, each in five sizes. The presses are easy to operate and easy to clean.
Features:
- Presses are manufactured using Eastern Ash from Michigan and Kentucky
- All presses come complete with two baskets, two filter bags, and are finished with a durable non-toxic finish. They are mounted on wheels and have handles for easy moving. (All you need to provide are a juice-collecting container, apples and cider storage containers.) They all include a direct-drive motor (no belts to break or backs to throw out!).
- All fabricated parts are American made. The thrust bearing at the bottom of the press screw insures smooth turning even under great pressure.
- Specially sharpened pulping knives are designed to break up the juice cells, producing more juice-up to 3.5 gallons per standard bushel of apples. Older presses and some currently on the market average 1 to 2 gallons from the same bushel.
- It takes only about 3 minutes from whole apples to juice on any size press.
- All presses have removable hoppers for cleaning and storage. Removing hopper reduces overall height by 9".
- Correll cider presses can be used to press pears or grapes, as well. Solid-type table grapes can be pressed rapidly. Slip-skin varieties (Concord or Niagra) require pressing in several stages over an hour or two, using a filter bag. Do not press stone fruits through the shredder without first removing ALL the pits first. Anything hard will severely damage the grinder knives.
