## Description

✅Operating principle: This cheese press is a lever type that allows you to change the lever force. You can increase the lever by moving the mounting bolt closer to its base. If you are pressing cheese by placing one cheese mold on top of another, keep in mind that the weight of the upper cheese mold is also added to the lower head. ✅ When applying the load of the press arm WITHOUT additional WEIGHT, we obtain a pressure on the form with a force of 4 lb. ✅ When additional weight is applied to different levels (arm length), the pressure on the piston increases. Our cheese press has 7 different shoulder lengths, from the smallest to the largest. The longer the arm length, the greater the coefficient of pressure on the piston. The corresponding number is printed on the handle of the press. ✅Below we give the average value of the coefficient of additional pressure on the piston depending on the length of the arm: Length 1 - 3,2 Length 2 - 4,2 Length 3 - 5,2 Length 4 - 5,6 Length 5 - 6,2 Length 6 - 7,6 Length 7 - 8,2 ✅ This cheese press is made of moisture-resistant plywood and coated with a oil wax to protect against moisture and prolong the life of the press. This press is well balanced and easy to use. ✅ The metal canister is not included.Сheese press - cheese press mold - cheese press kit - cheese making kit - cheese mold press kit .

Review: It could come with better instructions, but I managed to put it together from looking at the picture of it on desertcart. Don’t forget all the parts that need to go through the upright stanchions before assembling it all. I also got a bit more info from AI on the weights. It looks like it’ll do a good job of pressing the cheese curds. I will write a more detailed review once I use it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a chart listing how much mass at what position on the lever translates into what pressure the plunger applies?**
A: Below we give the average value of the coefficient of additional pressure on the piston depending on the length of the arm:
Length 1 - 3,2
Length 2 - 4,2
Length 3 - 5,2
Length 4 - 5,6
Length 5 - 6,2
Length 6 - 7,6
Length 7 - 8,2

**Q: What size mold will this accomodate?**
A: Six inch

**Q: Does the weight come with it?**
A: Weight doesn't come with but you can use any  convenient one.
When applying the load of the press arm WITHOUT additional WEIGHT, we obtain a pressure on the form with a force of 4 lb.
When additional weight is applied to different levels (arm length), the pressure on the piston increases.

**Q: Could i paint this product with waterproof sealant and still use it to make cheese?**
A: I don't think it is recommended unless it a food grade paint or coating. Because the cheese is inside the press for up to 24 hours it could leach chemicals and paint flavor into your cheese.
