For smaller producers or for small test batch production, Gomark hydropresses offer a very cost effective way of producing a high quality juice. Hydropresses use a central elastic membrane. They are relatively small in size and stand vertically. The central membrane is inflated by means of mains water pressure (typically to 3 bar or around 40 psi), which presses the milled fruit outwards against a stainless steel cylinder outer cage. A retaining sack contains the fruit pulp and strains the juice. These presses are easier to use and to clean than traditional basket presses. Typical pressing time takes about 30 minutes and juice yield and quality are both very high.
As of September 2020 this model has changed slightly. Previously was the VS-A, which is now the VSX. On this new VSX model the controls & gauge have a new configuration and look sort of like a control panel.
