מתקן סחיטה קורה ומשקולות
מתקן הסחיטה בבית הבד מורכב ממצע כבישה (1), קורת עץ (2), משקולות (3) ובור איגום (4)
על מצע הכבישה סודרו העקלים בערמה זה על גבי זה, ומעליהם הונחה קורת עץ שלחצה אותם בכוח משקלה וסחטה מתוכם את המוהל שזרם לבור האיגום. קצה אחד של הקורה קובע בתוך גומחה בקיר ועל הקצה השני שלה נתלו באמצעות חבל משקולות אבן כבדות, שהגבירו במידה רבה את הלחץ.

Translation of the text on the sign:

Wooden beam and weights squeezing device
The squeezing device in the oil mill consists of a pickling substrate (1), a wooden beam (2), weights (3) and a collecting tank (4)
On the pickling substrate, the baskets were arranged in a pile on top of each other, and a wooden beam was placed on top of them, which pressed them with its weight and squeezed the sap that flowed into the collecting vat. One end of the beam sets within a niche in the wall and on its other end were hung using a rope heavy stone weights, which greatly increased the pressure.
