As leading providers of cider making equipment, we have developed outstanding knowledge of the equipment types that produce only the very best results. At Vitikit, we provide cider equipment for each and every stage of the cider making process, having developed relationships with some of the top manufacturers and suppliers across Europe over a number of years.
Cider-Making Equipment
Cider Making Equipment from Vitikit
Our cider making equipment has not only been sourced from some of the best manufacturers, but we have tried and tested many of the machines and consumables we offer ourselves. All of our team here are involved in the drinks industry outside of Vitikit, whether that is cider, beer or wine, or even Kombucha.
At Vitikit, we are keen to share our experiences of making cider. We have ourselves made some absolute shockers over the years and have also surprised ourselves with some very nice bottle conditioned ciders and, last year, we were delighted with a dry-hopped keg cider called Cyclops. We are very happy to tell you what we have gone wrong in the past and where we think we could have done better.
Cider Equipment for Processing & Fermentation
Regardless of what stage you are currently at in the cider making process, whether you are just planning your cidery, half way through production or finalising your blend, Vitikit can supply cider making equipment for all stages of the process.
For the all-important apple processing stage, we have the following equipment types:
- Fruit Mills
- Hydropresses
- Pack Presses and Hydraulic Presses
- Mill, Washer & Elevator Systems
- Belt Press
We are established suppliers of Sraml – a company that specialises in the production of cider equipment such as washer, elevator mills, belt presses and mill systems. We also supply Stossier Presses from Austria, which have been in production since 1917, showing their true quality and experience in the processing of fruit. Once the apples are processed, fermentation is required, normally in stainless steel tanks. For this, we have the specialist cider making equipment in the form of steam generators, pumps, chiller units, valves, hoses and more.
Filtration & Final Stage Processing
Moving on to the filtration stage. We supply many types of filter equipment from plate filters to cartridges, but a special mention must go to the Romfil crossflow filtration machines that we stock.
These are highly effectual machines that can bring numerous benefits by way of increasing efficiency through saving both energy and money. 1 module manual machines are available through to 12 module fully automatic machines. We also have a demonstrator available if you want to get in touch.
The final stage processing requires just as much care as the other three stages and making use of our pasteurisers, a bag in box or carbonators, will ensure your product gets the attention it deserves.
