Maple syrup production involves the collection of sap from maple trees, followed by a relatively simple processing operation to increase the sugar concentration of the substance. Costs for home producers are relatively high due to high capital and energy costs. In an effort to reduce these costs,...
This year I took over the boil and it was a data driven season. I began work in July 2021 when I designed and ordered parts for a home-built reverse osmosis sap concentration system (RO). The design was based heavily off of the work Dan Roseum did to make his RO. Check it out on...
The system will process 60 gallons of sap per minute, allowing us to immediately filter any sap that comes into our tanks before sending it to the reverse osmosis. This should lead to higher quality syrup, especially later in the year when it gets warm, and savings in disposable RO filters...
We have approximately 8 miles of tubing with 1,100 taps on a reverse osmosis system. We use a 10' by 30' wood-fired evaporator to produce the maple syrup. Come visit us! Contact Info ECL Podcasts ECL Blog ECL Videos Healthy Living Links Coupon Book ...
This year’s warmer winter temperatures have allowed some maple syrup producers across the U.S. to begin tapping their trees as much as two months early.
It uses permeate, the water created by the reverse osmosis machine, to wash the pans all night. Come morning and voila, the pans are completely clean without using any harmful chemicals! Maple sap becomes maple syrup when it reaches a sugar content of 66%, also known as 66° Brix. 3 ...
Bruce’s Syrup and Candies Advancingbeyond just old-fashioned buckets and kettles in the early days,they now utilize a vacuum system, reverse osmosis, state-of-the-art evaporator, filtration and bottling equipment.–Read More– Upcoming Events ...
every day during maple syrup season using only certain cleaning chemicals that are deemed nontoxic with the required rinsing process extremely thorough. Machinery and equipment covered by these standards include the reverse osmosis unit, the filter press, sap and syrup holding tanks and evaporator pans...
Solar powered equipment and energy saving reverse osmosis/steam recapture systems keep our resource use to a minimum Family owned and ran by less than a dozen people. This is not syrup blended from hundreds of questionable farms. It is not repacked by a large corporation that doesn’t even ...
The present disclosure relates to a reverse osmosis system for maple tree sap. BACKGROUND Collecting the sap of maple trees to make maple syrup and other derivative products has been known for centuries by North-American Indians and more recently, it has been eagerly taken over by the colonists...
