ABSTRACT:
A press particularly adapted for use in extracting juice from fruit, such as apples, features a vertically extending sleeve of filter cloth disposed intermediate a pair of cooperating press platens supported for movement horizontally relative to one another for squeezing fruit contained within the sleeve. An open upper end of the sleeve is arranged in communication with a hopper or the like providing for batch-wise charging of the sleeve with fruit to be pressed and a valve mechanism is employed to selectively clamp off or close a normally open lower end of the sleeve in order to alternatively retain a charge of fruit within the sleeve during a pressing operation and permit discharge of pressed fruit pulp in the form of a "cake" from which juice has been extracted.
