Probably not. The mill I use in my Enorossi Mod80 press is a hammer mill that drops the fruit through a set of 4 rotating hammers. These smash the olives through a stainless seive which has holes (about 5mm diameter) in a ring of 5mm plate. It has to be that thick to withstand the ounding it gets from all the bits of fruit and pit.



I hope you get some assistance from others in the forum, and hope your trees survive the shocks of winter. Let us know how they get on, won't you!
