I had always wondered why they had a grit spreading trailer up there, now I know.
The gritter was being used a feeder to feed the apples onto a riddle, where the rubbish drops out, then they go up a washing belt and lastly drop into a mulcher/liquidiser thing. Once they’re done they were shovelled into the press by hand. They made up 10 layers on the press and squeezed the juice out. It was lovely, tasted good, as good a free apple juice does, very good.
