Don Mansky, Bruce, Wisconsin –
Good morning Jim and crew. Just wanted to drop a note to let you know how much I appreciate having the Guardian working perfectly. It sure makes it more enjoyable having it working so well. It really impresses people that stop by. Can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate all the help and work you have done for me. Hope you had a great year and continue to grow. Great success story. Should I need anything I will be calling. Thanks again.
Stumpwater Farms, Sullivan, OH –
The last run of sap was over 1500 gallons. Without the Memprotech Reverse Osmosis and the Smoky Lake auto draw off, we would have been boiling 24 hrs a day. The auto draw was taking syrup off the evaporator approximately every 15 minutes.
Bob H., Puslinch, Ontario –
At first I thought the auto-drawoff would be a “nice-to-have”. In my old rig I determined draw-off point based on sampling to an optical refractometer, and I would pour off between 55 and 60 percent as it took too long to bring the syrup to 67% compared to using the finishing pan from which I also bottled. With the auto draw-off it automatically pours off at 67% consistently and I would never have been to use my old process as this rig [Silverplate Evaporator] just produces too fast, so I am very happy I purchased it and can’t imagine keeping up manually if I didn’t have it.
So, here is what I have figured out so far:
Boiling temp setting is 217.4 at my altitude to produce 67% syrup
Stack temperature with blower on low setting is between 850 and 1000 degrees F. Stack temperature with no blower is about 560F
I put a large armful of wood in every 6 minutes, 10 minutes without the blower operating
I am getting about 20 litres (5 US gallons) syrup in about 4 to five hours running from cold start. So far I haven’t run longer than 5 hours.
Sap pan running at 1.5 inches and syrup pan at 2 inches.
