Small cheese press (x2,8 kg pressure)

Description
Wooden cheese press with a lever for home and semi-professional use.
Polish production, high-quality pine, beech or birch wood. Additional stabilizing base. When using larger loads, it stabilizes the structure so that it does not tip over to the lever side.
Material:
PINE - good wood properties, lighter construction
ASH - hard, more durable wood; less absorbent, heavier, more solid
Our presses are impregnated with a specialist carpenter's linseed oil, which is intended for wooden elements that come into contact with food. It preserves the wood, prevents excessive soiling of the press, facilitates whey drainage and cleaning.
Dimensions:
Base 40 x 23 cm, height 50 cm.
For cheese molds with a maximum diameter of 16.8 cm.
NOTE: In our molds, the internal dimensions are given! Add 1 cm to each dimension to check if the mold fits in the press.
The lever effect increases the pressure by a factor of 2.8.
Example:
Hanging a weight of 0.5 kg on the arm causes a pressure on the mold (cheese) of about 1.4 kg.
Hanging a weight of 1 kg on the arm causes a pressure on the mold (cheese) of about 2.8 kg.
Hanging a weight of 3 kg on the arm causes a pressure on the mold (cheese) of about 8.4 kg.
And so on...
Warning! Cheap, tiny presses appeared on the internet. We warn you against buying them. Only tiny forms fit into them, besides they do not have a stabilizing base, which causes them to tip over sideways under a slightly higher load!
Our presses are free of these flaws.
Why lever and not screwed-in press?
In practise, the screwed-in press is useless. We do not have them in our offer.
1. As a result of pressing, the whey flows out, and the pressure in the mould decreases. Which is why screw press requires tightening the screw every few minutes. Can you imagine 12 hours of pressing when you have to adjust the screw all the time...?
2. How do we know what pressure we extert on the mould? Too high pressure can cause whey to get stuck and the final effect to be the opposite of the intended one!
Our lever presses are devoid of these two basic flaws. Lever structure causes the pressure to be even throughout the whole pressing process – the arm slowly falls down as the cheese volume decreases, generating the correct, even pressure the whole time.
Moreover, the generated pressure can be easily calculated. The presses have multiplier of x3,5 or x3,2 (depending on the model). When you multiply the hanged weight by the press multiplier, the result will be the value of pressure exerted on the cheese mould.
For loading the presses you can use for example small churns filled with water – for purchase in our store: Milk churns
