Modifying/Automating a Hand Crank Apple Grinder! 

Thank you!

Thanks! I agree that the grinding is the bottleneck.

Thanks James.

Thank you very much!

You're 100% correct. I didn't take the time to identify the starter winding and reverse these polarity which is in my ability. I just powered the main and didn't think about the starter winding.... thanks for the reminder.

@@FollowTheCompassNorth Thank you for a great video. I'm fortunate one of the local farmers holds a few weekends a year where everyone can come and use his tractor powered pulper. The trade being. He will pulp, press, pasteurize and bottle (with added ascorbic acid) the juice, but he keeps half to sell. Your setup maybe large enough to offer similar.

Cider and Cyser! My last video shows the process.

It's pretty simple. Once you have the setup you can make unlimited apple cider. They say money doesn't grow on trees.... but apples sure do.

That would make a lot of sense.

Always a good idea to try! It feels good everytime i use it.

Thank you for watching!

Thanks!

I got it all at globus baumarkt. Grube brand I believe. The drill never had the torque to be straight forward.

Oh that's all explained in my other 100+ videos. I can't be telling my life story every video.

It just bounces a lot before getting caught. It's a huge time savings to cut them and check for rot at the same time.

@@FollowTheCompassNorth I'm just making pulp for pig feed, and will be running cases of produce at a time.

I tried that but it made the whole thing off balance and prone to tipping off the bucket that I put it on. I needed easy to lift and move around. A tight package.

We put them in an apple press for cider, some went to making cyser.

Thanks! It was fun and useful to make.

The drill never had enough torque. It bound up on every Apple when I tried it.

Two years. That's when my European contract is up.

We ground multiple hundreds of pounds of apples. Using the crank is slow, requires someone to be at the grinder constantly, and is a lot of work. It's not efficient for the amount of apples we grind.

Yes.

It's been working great for several seasons now.

That's pretty offensive. I have special needs kids.
