Maurer MKSP 600 Belt Press – Automatic Fruit & Apple Juice Press

The Maurer Gép MKSP 600 Belt Press is a fully automatic continuous belt press designed for efficient juice extraction from fruit, making it an ideal processing solution for New Zealand cideries, apple growers, juice producers and commercial fruit processors.

With a processing capacity of up to 600 kg of fruit per hour, the MKSP 600 provides a practical solution for cider producers looking to efficiently extract apple juice at commercial scale. Its continuous belt pressing system provides a consistent and controlled extraction process, while the integrated variable-speed belt allows the operator to adjust the pressing process to suit different fruit characteristics and processing requirements.

The enclosed working area helps minimise exposure to oxygen during processing, supporting the production of fresh juice while reducing oxidation. The machine also incorporates a reduced distance between the press cylinder and juice collection tray to help minimise foaming during juice collection.

Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel (WNr. 1.4301), the MKSP 600 is designed for demanding food and beverage processing environments. The food-industry polyester belt is 2 mm thick and has a 6 x 16 filament/cm² density, with the manufacturer specifying the belt configuration as suitable for large, fibre-free juice.

For New Zealand cider producers, the MKSP 600 can be used as part of an apple processing line following fruit washing and milling, providing continuous juice extraction prior to downstream processes such as clarification, fermentation, filtration, storage and cider production.

Its relatively compact 2100 x 1250 mm footprint also makes it suitable for cideries where processing floor space is limited but commercial-scale apple pressing capability is required.

The machine can be incorporated into a wider cider production line alongside fruit washing, milling, juice collection, clarification, pumping, fermentation and storage equipment.
