Default Cider apple pulper update

The apple pulper works fine. An old $10 waste disposal unit, taken apart
and cleaned up and then reassembled. Now in its own collapsable stand.
It can be lifted in and out for portability and sits in a small
aluminium sink. After about the 8th apple the pulped up apples start
sliding out the bottom tube. Each whole apple takes about 5-10 seconds
to become mush. The pulping will be over in a few hours rather than the
2 days processing through the food processor. The WD unit must be easily
20+ years old and is solid so should handle a bit of abuse.

I don't think you could ever clean up a used garbage disposal enough for
me to trust its output for human consumption. There must be a better
way....
