To remove these, the collected juice is passed through a screening system. A screen may be a simple drum covered with a stainless mesh cloth and mounted in a horizontal, but slightly inclined, position.
Screened cider is collected in a tray under the drum.
As an alternative, freshly pressed juice may be bag filtered, bottled, and marketed. An electromagnetically vibrated screen separator may not be as effective in removing undesirable particulates. The juice is then chilled 12 to 24 hours before being bag filtered, bottled, and marketed.
