BENEFITS

  • EIGHT Loops! Our preheaters offer more surface area for supreme heat transfer and performance.
  • Sap will exit the preheater system near boiling temperature
  • This system does NOT require a damper on the steam stack
  • This system can be configured so that the hot sap exits the system on the left OR on the right, depending on where your Float Box is located.
  • The Preheater can be easily drained after each use to prevent sap from freezing in the pipes.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Standard configuration requires installation within a Smoky Lake Hood.
  • The Backflip Preheater will require four outlets in the back of the hood for connections to pass through.
  • Customers will need to plumb the Preheater to their Float Box, etc. Smoky Lake offers a basic online install guide.
