I have for a few seasons been using a glass delaval releaser and glass tees to connect the incoming wet lines to the releaser. No issues at all. The pump below the jar has a check valve...
The reason for adding an injector of air is to provide bubbles for the sap to ride up the ladder on.
If your system is not in need of added bubbles then you close the injector and rely on the...
D73 is a great little pump. I have one that runs 29" of vac when we were at 700 taps. Then we added more and had to put a D75 on the system to keep up with drops that were pulling off.
I have...
In our operation we pumped sap to the sugar house and haled using tanks and trucks and tractors. The weak link is a great decider on what to do.
Now all our sap comes straight to the sugarhouse...
If repressing, just redrill the shaft where it is aligned at. The old hole will be plugged off by the drum.
I only weld one side so that in the future it will be easier to remove the shaft for a new one.
I have welded several and never preheated them. I use a mig, straight polarity, high temp setting of 4 of 7 and around 55 on the spoil feeder speed.
If the hole is plugged the unit will not suck...
The 73 and 75 are pressed shafts with a common rail oiling system. If you cant get the drum to the correct and precise location of drum to shaft aliment then just redrill the hole behind the # 1...
The fact that you have come to the realization that you may need help is a point that many reach.
The issue is that you are judging others...There is no one master plan that all can follow. The...
We use an old memtek RO back when you ran 500 psi. 2 4x40s in series and I batch until I need to fill the head tank. Then I turn a valve to open and close the valve to the tank I'm batching in. I...
For the first 6 years we were on dirt floor. The second sugar shack had 6 concrete columns in the ground 4' to level the rig. It was a temporary site so no concrete floor.
Concrete is no doubt...
The cold here in our part of New Mont will reset the trees. Snow varies a lot in every direction from 6' to 12". We are frost hard again but only have 12-18" of snow. The snow will make the season...
It is so refreshing to see posts from people that aren't living on the negative side of the half full glass.
Flats on the BB4 that is awesome vacuum levels. You could see if a little vac oil on...

Ropey sap is a nasty mess that is more like a gelatin that is not finished setting up. It would rather stay in a mass than be pored out. It will stay in the bottom of the tank or container when fresh...
I agree on most parts except for no air to reach high vac.
To reach high vac your pump must be able to remove the gases introduced to the system(tree or injector) quicker than it is coming in to the...
Alex if you search on the site sap ladders there are loads of pics of my 1/2" riser setup and notes on how to make them work nearly flawlessly.
Our system has a dozen ladders ranging from as...
Sap mist is in nearly every pump at the end of every day. I will get an oz or two every day out of my water trap on each pump. Good vac oil will allow it to separate out very quickly and is best...
If the pump is so hot the oil is vaporized on contact then you turn up the oil flow.
End of season my D75 is turned to a stream to keep her cool and I run a fan. The big thing to remember is...
on the cast there is an arrow to show the rotation direction.
If you cant find it I can go down and look at one I have.

Jeff, come on down to our store. I have 5 gallon pails of Vac oil that is good stuff. $59.99. It isn't a super thin oil that will vapor off quick and I can show you how to build a good reclaimer for...
Yes delaval, but the 73 does not have a flood injector other than its normal common rail oil system. The 75 does have a dripper added to the inlet. The 75 does have a scratch in the face plate and...
I have run a D73 an a d75 on the same system with no issues. They do need to have a swing check valve as does any pump to keep oil from getting to the releaser.
The 75 is atleast 3-4 times the...
700 to 1000 rpm is a standard speed for them.
your motor is not meant to run this slow of a device so start up may be difficult on the belts.
Vacuum pumps should be run on nonfoaming oil. This will reduce wear that occurs when oil gets mixed with water. I have rebuilt pumps that were run when the oil foamed and it is nearly as bad as not...
