The blower can be mounted outside the sugarhouse if required. You just need a pipe to connect to the stack. Just need to keep it as close as possible to the evaporator because the pipe will cause...

Hi, nymapleguy is 99% right, but The Chinook and the Intens'O'fire are different in another important point. The Chinook differs from the intens'O'fire because the secondary air is preheated. the...
Hi Noreast Maple, I will ask our enginner to communicate as much info he can to Garth. He was the one working with Verona School on the project. You can always ask Garth how to get a hold of...

I will be at the CDL USA open house. I will be outside in the evaporator area. You are more than welcome if you're shopping or just curious about our products. If you already have a CDL rig and...
Hi Spud,
You must know that Eric's arch is not equipped with the heat exchanger... According to me he did the right choice because his operation is not big enough to justify the payback of this...
Hi Eric, First of all, I am happy to see that you are satisfied with your Pellet rig this year.
I see many arguments on here showing the interest for alternatives to oil, which is very...
Hi,
First thing to check (and it was mentionned before), too much pressure coming from the feed tank can affect the float working properly.
As the tank gets lower, the float will work better.

Hi Camp Hamp,
Keep in mind the most important thing... Were working with maple sap...
Boiling is one thing... Niter and sand build-up is another one.... You need to get it out...
Flue pans...
I agree with Jamie.
It is very important to avoid breaking pellets during conveying and these works good!
Hi Mark,
A 4x15 Sirocco will produce roughly 40 gal. US of syrup per hour concentrating at 18brix.
It will burn 288 lbs of pellet per hour.
So, with one ton imperial (2200lbs), it will produce...
Hi Eric,
I am glad to see you made the deal with Chris.
We will be presenting a vacuum feeder for small units at the open house in st.lazare next weekend. This is new and is made in europe. I...
Hi Ambergold,
I will talk about the CDL rigs that I know kinda well...
You have two options with CDL.

This arch is a high-efficiency arch with high evaporation rate....
Hi Eric,
It was nice talking to you at CDL USA yesterday.
If you need any other info, do not hesitate to send me a PM or call me directly at the plant and I will be more than happy to answer.

Roughly 5 CDL Sirocco were sold in the USA last year and at least 60 in Québec/Ontario si I could say this arch is more than a prototype.
Savings are 60% over fuel in Quebec (maybe a little less in...
Hi, You should communicate with CDL (1-800-762-5587) Ask for Garth as he sold a few units last year. He will be more than happy to give you a few customers phone numbers that have purchased some this...
Raised flue setup must be perfectly levelled!
Dropped flue setup should be angled.

Oh, and a 2-1/2x8 pellet evaporator will burn 107 lbs of pellet (2.7 standard bags of 40 lbs) per hour which is equivalent to 6.5 gallons of oil per hour (910 000 BTU). so savings are easy to...
Hi Maple Rookie,
For example :
for sap at 10 brix :
17 lbs of pellet will maple one gallon of syrup. (+/- 1.39$ of pellet in canada)
.85 gal of oil will be required to make one gallon of...
Hi Lazarus,
see this link, may be interesting for you!
Chinook - High efficiency wood evaporator.
Sirocco - Pellet Evaporator.
Both rigs shown are 2-1/2x10 and will proceed 100 gallons per...
Hi Lazarus :
CDL builds oil units in many configuration.
The ''tornade'' from CDL is most likely a high production rig available in large configuration only.
For you, you would have to go with...
Correction : CDL manufactured the arch for VVS school and they made the demo.
Hi Albert,
We are sorry that you were not aware to see the Chinook in operation during the Open House week-end in Vermont. The American Consumers are very important but the ''Chinook'' wasn't...
