We have been offering the Speidel Apple & Pear Mill for over a decade now, and it continues to be our most popular crusher year after year. This fruit grinder impresses with its quality, functionality and safety. From the chute to the motor, this unit is made entirely in Germany. The body of the crusher is made from food-safe, high-quality PE plastic that provides extreme durability. The large funnel at the top makes feeding fruit quick and effortless while the integrated roller allows the unit to be moved and transported with ease. Cleanup is as simple as spraying down the funnel and blade assembly with water. The only maintenance the mill needs is occasionally sharpening the grinding blades.

Do you want optimum milling for pressing and fermenting your apples and pears for Cider?
If so, the Speidel Apple and Pear Mill is just right for you. It shreds apples and pears in an optimum manner; not too coarse, not too fine – exactly the right size of cut to guarantee you the highest possible yield when juicing (without fruit pulp in the juice) as well as speedy fermentation!

Simple to Operate
The Speidel Apple and Pear Mill is easy to use. Simply plug it in, switch it on and start feeding your apples or pears! It has a large feed-hopper to make it easy to fill in the fruit directly from the box. It can handle up to 2,200lb of fruit per hour. Cleaning is simple: just remove the feed hopper and spray off the appliance and the hopper with water.

Maintenance-Free
The Speidel Apple and Pear Mill is almost maintenance-free. Only the cutter blades should be sharpened from time to time.

Rust-Free for its Service Life
Hopper, motor block, cutter blades, apron, feet etc. are all made of high-quality rust-free materials requiring neither care nor any special treatment. No rust even after years of use.

Safety is a Top Priority
The Speidel Apple and Pear Mill complies with all applicable European Safety Standards (CE Sign). Additionally, the motor is equipped with a thermal overload switch. The feed hopper has both reach-in and switch-on protection. Polyethylene shield to protect the cutters and the motor against any unauthorized intervention and against splashing water.

FAQ:

  • How much can be processed with the grinder in what amount of time?
    • The ​Speidel Apple & Pear Mill can process roughly 2,200 lbs of fruit per hour.

    • The funnel is not seated correctly. The switch-on safety device is no longer actuated. Check the fit of the funnel and the setting of the tension locks.
    • Overload on the power line. Check the fuse.
  • What maintenance work must be carried out?
    • The unit is almost maintenance-free. Only the blades should be sharpened from time to time.

Please Note: This item may come with a bare cord or with a European style plug.  You will need a professional electrician to wire the pump with the appropriate plug.

We need to be able to crush entire bins of apples at a time, this should do the job quickly without the cost of a commercial grinder.

Hand crank crusher is very tedious and time consuming. Hope this works better and saves time.

Could this be used to slice/crush cranberries or would they slip through whole?
John Miller on Oct 23, 2020
BEST ANSWER: The Speidel Apple and Pear Crusher does a surpassingly fine job of reducing apples and pears from whole fruit to small bits of pulp about the size of cranberries. Starting with cranberries is way outside the design specifications of the machine. I would expect a lot of bypass (berries not adequately macerated) with cranberries. That being said, those blades are sharp and spin very fast. Find a friend with the machine and run ten pounds of cranberries through and see what happens. Some of the worlds great discoveries were serendipity, not design specifications. Good luck.
Will this work in the US with 220 and 60Hz? As the specs ask for 50Hz.
Rene Turnheim on Sep 18, 2023
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it will work on 220, but you will have to do some basic wire splicing into a 220 plug receptacle. I bought one from Home Depot and did the splicing myself watching videos online how to do it. If you’re not comfortable with that I would recommend having an electrician do the splicing for you. Mine works great!

Absolute Monster!
This machine is absolutely invaluable if you plan on processing a large volume of apples. This past season, I ran 1,000lbs of apples through it as quickly as we could pour them in the chute. It never faltered, and the pomace was perfect size for proper maceration and pressing.

Cleaning is easy enough but beware, the blades may be the sharpest metal I've ever come in contact with. I shredded the tip of my finger by accident and it took a couple of months for it to truly heal. So take your time while cleaning!

Speidel knows exactly what they're doing! If you've been thinking about this, just BUY it!

This has saved me. I had an Oesco one that was a royal pain. I still wonder why they sell that product. This is a great product. I bought it after touring a large scale cider operation. They had this design where the apples are dumped into the maw. So glad I bought this. Nothing else is on the market that is as reasonable and good for the small producer. This will handle a small commercial operation for sure.

Worth the Money!
We got considerably more juice from our apples this year compared the hand cranked crusher we used in the past. Easy to use, easy to clean and does an excellent job.

Excellent and very easy to use! Finished crushing 10 five gallon buckets of pears in less than 30 minutes. The longest part was getting electrician to put plug on the cord. It would be helpful to have a bit more clear information on putting the plug on the crusher.

Great mill, thoughtfully engineered
Awesome Apple mill, powerful, well engineered. I bought a cheaper Apple mill and ended up returning it do to multiple issues. This grinds to the correct size consistently, has room for a catch bucket to fit under and doesn’t get backed up at the spout. Negatives would be that it is a bit tougher than described to clean and dealing with the power cord is a bit of a challenge. I think the positives way outway the negatives and would recommend this mill to anyone looking to upscale their home operation.

Great product. Easy to clean and effective. Used for hard cider with troublesome cider apples. Only complaint was wiring the electrical for the US.

very powerful machine
Very balanced, strong motor that can run for hours. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't unnecessarily tall and if the grind was more even. I work around the height by dropping from a retaining wall and I probably lose a little efficiency from the grind. The clean up is a dream, though. If you don't let it dry on total cleanup is less than 5 minutes, no joke. Not sure if the plastic will last for ever but it is more enjoyable now without the cold metal and the sharp edges
