Voran
Established in 1925, Voran is the market leader in commercial fruit processing equipment.

Their extensive specialist experience in apple processing (coming up to 100 years)
Voran's presses are designed to achieve excellent juice yields from fresh and stored fruit (up to 80%, depending on model, fruit variety and fruit quality) for optimised raw juice quality (freshness, flavour, aroma & structure) and low juice turbidity
Their equipment is of high build quality and extremely robust - there are many Voran presses in the UK over 20 years old which are still giving good service today
Their presses and mills are designed for fast juice collection for minimal oxidation
Their range is modular and process-based
They manufacture in-house at their site in Austria and so are in full control of the manufacturing process
