Happy Valley Ranch Complete Drum Assembly

"Apple Eater" Grinding Cylinder

Get the most juice from your apples with the Happy Valley Ranch Complete Drum Assembly, also known as the “Apple Eater” grinding cylinder. Built for strength and efficiency, this assembly features eight rows of stainless steel teeth embedded into a solid hard maple drum, securely fastened to an aluminum shaft with a steel pin. The result is a maintenance-free, high-performance grinding device that quickly reduces whole apples into easily pressed pulp—without grinding the seeds or stems. The outcome? A higher yield of clear, sweet apple cider without bitterness.

Why Hard Maple Instead of Polypropylene?

Some presses use polypropylene (plastic) drums, but these are prone to cracking and leakage as their hollow, glued halves wear down under torque. In contrast, our hard maple drums are solid, durable, and double sealed with EZ-DO protective coating to keep them like new season after season. Heavier and sturdier, the maple drum uses centrifugal force for smoother grinding, less effort, and superior results.
