Just had a saw a demo of a 5 inch press ran by air, the same size I bought last summer although mine is a hand pump type.
The one I saw is made locally by a very mechanical minded fabricator and runs on air with a diaphragm pump. He understands the maple industry very well and the needs thereof.
Complete control with air and this fella has done his home work and the diaphragms can withstand 300 degrees. Very elegantly designed as well. Small and compact. With a new RO on order I want to make sure I can filter quickly. It comes all setup on a nice platform with the pump on it. The press itself is identical to the one I purchased last yr so I know what it can do.
Once I get it I will post photos.
The fellas name is Todd Pakiz and his number is (507)384-7158
Needless to say I am going to upgrade.
So shortly I will be selling my five inch press. (need to get photos this week-end). Only ran 30 gallons through it this yr.
