Maple Cream Pump info needed

[Sugarmaker]

Anyone know of the type and brand of pump that one maple equipment dealer uses in there maple cream Pump machine? Seems we could build one of these units but I believe the pump is the key item. This machine really looks like the ticket to make cream. (I just don't like the 1300 dollar price)

Cheap in PA,

Are you talking about the new cone shaped cream machines? They use a gear pump, but be careful I would stay with a 3/4" or larger pump. There is a lot of torque for a small 1/2" pump. If you can find one I would use a stainless steel pump. I do know that at least one mfg is using a regular brass pump.

Hope this helps
