A press for pressing out material in the form of liquid-containing substances, especially musts comprising:

• (a) a frame;
• (b) carrier means having an axis, being rotatably mounted on said frame and having dividers extending radially to said axis, said dividers forming a plurality of press chambers, said press chambers being sealed against each other and being circumferentially spaced around said axis;
• (c) a stationary, at least partially cylindrical sieve wall circumferentially surrounding said carrier means and having at least a plurality of sieve segments and two openings, said sieve segments and said openings being circumferentially spaced around said axis;
• (d) radially movably press means disposed in said press chambers and dividing said press chambers into pressure chamber portions disposed radially inwardly, and into press chamber portions disposed radially outwardly and being open radially outwardly;
• (e) a charging station coupled to one of said openings of said sieve wall for filling the material into said press chamber portions;
• (f) a discharging station coupled to the other one of said openings of said sieve wall for emptying said press chamber portions of the material;
• (g) drive means for rotating said carrier means and for placing thereby said press chambers at said charging station or said discharging station, respectively;
• and
• (h) moving means for moving said press means at least radially outwardly and for pressing the material filled into said press chamber portions against said sieve wall.
