Italian-style #35 Basket Press - Like New, Used Once
This press was used for a single batch and is in excellent, very good condition. No rust, no chipped paint, basket is clean and solid. Wood shows light wine staining as pictured, which is normal. Ready to press.
The #35 is the sweet spot for home winemakers and cidermakers - large enough to handle 250-300 lbs of crushed grapes or milled apples per load, small enough to move and store easily.
Solid hardwood slatted basket with heavy steel hoop bands
Cast iron ratchet screw mechanism and pressing head - smooth, powerful mechanical advantage
Steel tripod juice pan with pour spout - collects juice cleanly
Steel handle included
Approx. capacity: 35 liters / 9.25 gallons
Condition: Used once. Cleaned immediately after use. All paint intact, no rust on screw, pan, or mechanism. Basket tight, no cracks or loose staves. Stored indoors.
What you get: Basket, base/pan, screw/mechanism, pressing plates/blocks and handle as shown in the photo.
Sells at $995 new. An absolute steal at 400.
