We have a new scratter/mill and press... it and it needs some work.

Press is awesome. Works like a hot dam.

Scratter/mill needs some work as is being redesigned. We've added/changed the pattern of the screws (AKA blunt force trama) and that has helped being more random and it eats through faster. Also increasing motor to 1.5 or 2 hp over .5hp and it's sealed so no crap falling into the juice as the motor does it's thing.

Thinking of having a gravity feed with a longer tube that feeds right into the scratter (see below). If we need to, we could use a stick to plunge into the tube to help a stuck apple. Motor also goes in reverse so that helps spin them out when stuck. Concerned with safety with having an open box - too easy to lose a hand.

Any suggestions?
