apple juice

today we took all the apples that we collected to the apple press place in the village right down the road. there was a machine that i put the apples into that funneled them into a shredder which then shot the shredded apple into a bucket. once the bucket was full we emptied it into another machine that squeeeeeeeeeeezed out the juice. im going to try to explain the machine. it was cylindrical and maybe 3 feet tall and a diameter of a foot and a half. the outer part was made of corregate metal that had a detachable sac on the inside. and in the very middle of the machine was a rubber tube. i guess its kind of lake the layers of a tree. kinda sorta not really much at all. sooooo, we put the grated apples into the machine there, then put the lid on top. there was a hose attached to it that filled up the rubber tube with water which was in the middle applying pressure and expanding outward to squeeze out all the juice. the juice would flow down the corregated metal into a bowl that went all around it, then funneled out into a bucket after going through a strainer. while that was going on i was making shredded apples with that other machine. then when the second machine was done juicing we would open it up, push down the dry stuff and fill it up with the shredded mushy apples. we kept doing that until it couldnt be compacted anymore then we would empty the sac filled with dry apple stuff into a wheel barrow and then set aside for the cows.
after a few hours we made 350 liters of juice.
