Introducing the Scratt-ivarius - Fine Grinding For Fine People

The Scratt-ivarius is the ultimate nexus of form and functionality. The result of decades of refinement to the grinding process, possessing both immaculate style and raw power, there is no finer grinder anywhere on the market.

Made from South American hardwood and steel, and featuring 9 rows of stainless steel teeth driven at 1750 RPM by a 1hp continuous duty TEFC motor, the Scratt-ivarius will never let you down.

Designed for pulping bushels of apples at a time, the fine grind output will fill a standard 5 gallon bucket in mere minutes. At the end of the day, simply wheel it away.

The Scratt-ivarius, for discerning cider makers everywhere.

What do you guys think of my new grinder? I've gotten a pallet bin of apples a couple times and made juice to freeze. My old grinder (same drum) was 1/3 hp and would bog down sometimes, so I upgraded everything. This one might double as a rock crusher. It weighs well over 100lbs, so I'm glad I added wheels. First time firing it up today. It might need a shield of some kind to keep the pieces from blasting out...

My press is also home made. I usually put 5 gallons of pulp in and get 3 gallons of juice out per press.

Looks nice. Please put some type of shroud over that belt!

Ya it's going to get a cover, and a blast shield for the top.

So this is homemade? Not commercially available?

Looks awesome!
