Introduction of 1200L Apple Cider Production Equipment
The 1200-liter apple cider production system is a mid-to-large scale, industrial-grade solution designed to support efficient and hygienic production of craft and commercial apple cider. Engineered for operations requiring reliable batch consistency, scalable output, and quality control, this system is ideal for established cideries, beverage startups aiming to scale, and contract manufacturing facilities.
With a per-batch capacity of 1200 liters, this integrated production line encompasses all essential stages of cider making—from apple intake and juice extraction to fermentation, conditioning, and packaging. It ensures optimal juice yield, sanitary processing conditions, and precise control of fermentation parameters, resulting in a high-quality, shelf-stable product ready for retail or draft service.
