Core Equipment launches the “Easy-Juice Starter Kit” for small scale apple juice producers

July 2011: Core Equipment has just announced that it will be launching a new ‘Easy-Juice Starter Kit’ package of equipment for first time apple juice producers.

The “starter kit” is aimed at serious hobby enthusiasts who want to turn their hobby into a business and is made up of all of the equipment necessary to make apple juice. Each kit includes a washer/elevator, an apple mill, an apple press, a pasteuriser and a choice of bottle or bag in box filling equipment (full spec below). In addition, each kit includes a package of help on how to make apple juice and how to market the finished product.

There are three packages available – the ‘Easy-juice Senior’ which includes a belt press, the ‘Easy-juice Junior’ with a diesel powered pasteuriser and a hydropress, and the ‘Easy-juice Starter’ which features an electric pasteuriser and a hydropress.

By using the latest belt press and water press technology rather than a pack press or rack press, the Kreuzmayr and Gomark machines are less labour intensive, more reliable and produce less waste. They also produce a better quality product.

The bundled deal is available in the UK for the first time after the Austrian firm Kreuzmayr recently signed a distribution deal with UK-based Core Equipment. It brings together some of Kreuzmayr’s latest high-tech products and buyers will be able to start producing juice from scratch.

Core Equipment MD Jonathan Chaplin said: “By bringing Kreuzmayr to the UK, we’ve given producers access to one of the most widely-respected manufacturers of juicing equipment in Europe. The ‘Easyjuice Starter Kits’ mean that, for a relatively small capital outlay, enthusiasts can start producing top quality juices from day one.”

Package prices start at just £24,995 and range up to £39,995 depending upon the equipment package selected. Specifications are as follows:
