Don, just try your current filter kit and add some Filter Aid (FA). (FA comes in a 40 or 50# bag, try to buy a gal container full from a larger producer). Several rather large producers do so, filtering for thousands of taps. To do this just mix the FA into the hot syrup and pour the syrup into your filter. The use of FA will make your syrup even clearer and at the same time make the filtering go much faster.
For example, to filter 1 gal of hot syrup, mix in 1 cup of FA and pour the mix into the filter. The FA will keep the filter flowing faster because the surface does not clog as fast, but rather, the FA will be trapped on the filter and will form a filter cake as it does the job. A filter cake is a thickness that builds with the sugar sand imbedded. It flows faster because the sugar sand is spread out over a much thicker area. I will just caution, if your current filter kit is not a maple filter, get the real thing along with several pre filters because a filter not made for maple might not trap the FA. If buying, a flat filter method works lots faster than a cone filter since the cone filter gets loaded more at the bottom of the filter as the syrup runs low rather than filter over a larger portion of the filter. If you are not ready to get a filter tank, you can make one. Just devise a food safe screen with a flat bottom to place in a SS pot, lay a syrup filter in with 3-4 pre filters on top. Add syrup as described above after mixing in the FA. A manufactured filter tank has a SS tray, about 2-2.5" deep, SS sides and the bottom is about 1/4" mesh SS hardware cloth. The filter will be several inches larger than the tray so the filters hang over the sides a little. With you ingenuity you can make one, but buying a small canner (12x12?) will give you a handy way to heat, maintain temperature and dispense your syrup for bottling, but is not required. Look for used, as larger producers expand they are likely to sell the smaller canner.
Good luck
