cream machine

[maplefarmer]

Looking to purchase a new gear pump cream machine, where is the best place to buy from ? not only price but customer service and future business. Kind of leaning to a cdl machine, but open for any suggestions.

[adk1]

same here! and what is the best one out there. Lapierre, CDL, Leader? Leader seems to be more versitle but not as efficient in making just maple cream. I would be interested in hearing how those who ahve the SDL models like it. the Lapierre is by for the most expensive.

[GeneralStark]

If you are looking for a gear pump style machine there are only two options. LaPierre and CDL.

[adk1]

Which is better. Looking for some people who have one or the other to chime in

[Moser's Maple]

come to LEME in Nov. and you'll see a Lapierre in action

D&G also makes a gear pump style cream machine. I bought one last year.

If I was in the market I would seriously consider this if my wallet would allow it. Can make both candy and cream.

I have the smaller Lapierre. like it a lot. only thing I don't like is the valve is not a stainless valve.

I stand corrected.

I have watched some video of lapiere cream machines seems like it's pretty easy to use and quick

[maplefarmer]

[Moser's Maple]

How about the sunrise metal one that's water jacketed and can do candy and cream.

Think I am going to order the small lapierre. Can anyone tell me the best place to order one from?

[maplwrks]

Lapierre!!!

I have a cdl machine and very pleased. It was a couple hundred cheaper than Lapierre during eArly season order.

[SWEETER CREATIONS]

have owned my cdl machine 3 years now 1000 pounds a year still like the day we bought it

[adk1]

I will defiantly look at both. Not ruling out leaders turntable machine but really like the idea of dispensing directly off of the machine. I have to think about the amt of cream I would make though as I am a very small operation making a total of 40'galloms of syrup a year. I know that the lightest syrup makes the best cream so I will most likely bulk in 5gallon jugs all of my light syrup. I would guess I would only be using 5 gallons of syrup total for all my cream. No idea how much that would make in lbs...

[Moser's Maple]

roughly 40lbs give or take

[adk1]

I have no idea what a lb of cream even sells for?

If you are going to invest in a machine to make only 25-30 lbs. of cream per year you are better off making it by hand or, invest in a candy machine with which you can make candy and cream. Or, with a Leader paddle style machine you can make cream and sugar though it is a pain to scoop cream into jars.

I make close to 500 lbs. of cream/year with a candy machine. Will be switching to a gear pump machine within the next year or two however.

Didn't realize u can make cream in a candy machine. Will have to look into it

[GeneralStark]

I suggest getting a copy of the Cornell confection book. You can actually download the whole thing for free. Lots of good info.

Go to LEME chances are you may get a book, and see cream done in a candy machine.

I use a candy machine to make cream with good results. Very easy to fill jars, it takes some time even doing a gallon of syrup. As smooth as anything, just not fast.
