Bumper Apple Crop Overwhelms Presses as Mobile and Local Sites Book Out

Record yields force nonstop operations under strict booking.

Overview

  • In Dötlingen, about 20 suppliers delivered large loads to a mobile press from Olli’s Saftladen, which expressed that the unusually heavy harvest drove a particularly high workload.
  • Operator Oliver Schmale reported pressing up to ten tons at the event and said five to six tons typically pass through his hands in a day, urging large haulers to secure appointments.
  • The Dorla mostery “Dein Obst – Dein Saft” extended opening times yet filled all slots, with machines running continuously and some days exceeding ten tons processed.
  • To handle demand, the Dorla site uses a 24‑hour crate intake with 35 boxes, SMS pickup notifications, and a minimum of 50 kilograms per crate with no rotten fruit accepted.
  • Jardinghausen’s Apfeltag drew several hundred visitors with advance bookings required for on‑site pressing, as families arrived with hundreds of kilograms and a village festival rounded out the day.
