I recommend to precharge the press before use. if you don't, you will plug the press faster.

The press sell for $825.00 delivered in the US.
I just purchased one of these presses from Daryl. Today I ordered stainless quick disconnect fittings, but I'm wondering what hose people use between the syrup and the press. I went to a farm store who sells hoses for dairy operations, but they were hesitant to sell me anything because they weren't sure their hoses could withstand heat (i.e. 210 degrees).
Cdl has the clear hose for these, it's thick wall and will take over 100 c
I have never had a failure with the thick wall hose. Now I have closed off both discharge valves and had thin wall hoses bulge under 90 PSI.
I scrolled through a bunch of the pages on this and did not see a picture. A couple questions, Daryl what are you making the press out of Alum. ? Stainless? or?
and I take it from the dialog that 5 filters are the max #. ? the current price does have me intrigued since a press is in my near future.
The press is made out of aluminum. It has 4 wafer plates and 5 hollow plates which use a total of 10 filter papers.
The hand press does not make the high pressure that the air diaphragm or gear pumps that are used on the larger presses so special hoses are not needed.
Problems which I have seen is people try to be cheap and use food grade nonmaple DE with the press or low temperature syrup thru the press. The pumps are made to handle the hot syrup if you use common sense with the handle pressure.
Any questions, please call me @ 814-337-0103

thank you Daryl! I do believe yours will be my first press.
I bought braid reinforced 1/2" inner diameter, thick wall silicone tubing from NY Brew Supply. The cost for 1 foot, including shipping, was less than $10. In general, I've found beer brewers' supply stores to be excellent sources of maple syrup plumbing. They have good prices and low shipping costs.Quote:
