How to make an apple crusher with your own hands

It's no secret that all fruit juices include useful substances. In addition, they are also very tasty, so they are especially liked by adults and children. To date, the most common juice is apple. Apples in our country grows a lot, and the juice of them is both delicious and healthy. Therefore, many people are wondering how to make juice with their own hands, without preservatives and flavor additives. After all, this in stores, unfortunately, you can not buy.

In order to solve this issue, you need, first, to use the so-called shredder for fruit, and secondly, a juicer that is perfect for apples. With the help of the mentioned apple crusher, you can get more juice. You make much less effort to prepare it.

In this article, we will look at how an apple crusher is made by oneself (its drawings will also be provided to your attention).

Chopper with own hands

So, we need to create a so-called chopper with our own hands. First of all, it is worth noting that the device itself is of various types. It all depends on the material from which it is made. The choice is wide - from wood to metal. But this is not the most important thing in the crusher, it is very important how it performs its work.

We will consider the crusher at once from two kinds of material - metal and wood. We first need a sheet of stainless metal, the thickness of which is not more than 8 centimeters. From this piece it will be necessary to make steps for bearings and for shaft exit. This stage of work must be done on a lathe.

The process of creating a crusher

Next, to create an apple crusher, the drawing of which you can see in the article, we will already need a milling machine. On it we will create a toothed shaft. As can be seen in the drawing, it will be necessary to remove 8 faces. And in order for the crushing of apples to be effective enough, you need to make special cuts of triangular shape with the help of the grinder on the teeth, along their entire length. This is what will help break up the apple simply and quickly.

To make the case of the device described, many use the case from an old washing machine. But it is worth noting that, when choosing it, it is necessary that the metal of the case is stainless, and the machine itself would belong to apparatus with a vertical load. The walls should be at least two millimeters thick.

It should be cut into 4 equal parts - two end and two side. Then add the parts and get a box, which must be welded around the edges. But before you completely finish the welding process in the side parts, you will need to slightly bend the metal and leave a small gap. This clearance is necessary between the working shaft and the wall of the chopper itself.

Crusher for apples with their own hands is produced in this way.

Making the shell of the crusher

To ensure that the shaft of the crusher for apples is well fixed and at the same time rotates smoothly, you can use ordinary bearing assemblies, which are available in all circulars. From the corners it will be necessary to weld the support frame, and the base of the apparatus can be made of wood. The wooden base should be placed from the bottom, since it will be placed containers, in which the mass leaving the shredder will fall.

We made the basis of the crusher for apples with our own hands, And now we will work on the motor.

Crusher control unit

To create a control unit for apple crushers with our own hands, we use a conventional button that will be responsible for starting and stopping the machine. The belt, which is visible in the drawing, will be pulled using a special bolt for clamping while the body moves along the guides.

Do not forget to fasten the handle, which will increase the usability of the crusher. To spray was smaller, use a wide basin, and make the frame low. Place the electric motor side, then it will not get moisture.

The result

Such crushers for apples, which are produced solely by hand, do not differ much from those produced in factories and sold in stores. It is worth noting that if you have an old washing machine, then the motor can not be bought, because it can be taken from a washing machine. Both technically and externally, the device is identical to the other.

It is also worth noting that this chopper, which operates from electricity, is used not only for juice production, but also for wine production. A self-made crusher for apples, the drawings of which you saw in our article, are always useful in the household.
