Cage Tanks

[Fred Henderson]

Where are you guys finding these tanks? I've been looking for one for years, but all I can find is the ones that held chemicals.

Call or go see the guy in Louisville, or maybe Rex Hwd in Canton.

Father & Son, It was me that posted about the red cap on the totes! I'm not 100 % sure that it is true! But when I got two of my tanks, the dealer that sold them to me told me that! He said that the red cap tanks had chemicals of some kind in them ! That could be BS, But I have always stayed away from them just to be safe! Sorry for any confusion. Jim L.

What guy in Louiseville? How do I get in touch with him?

I have found IBC tote liners on the internet that are food grade.

Has anyone used them and how did it work?

Jim, Smell the inside of it. If it had coke syrup you will still be able to smell it no matter how much it was cleaned out. Mine came from Atkinsons in Ontario and even though I cant get the smell out of it, it has never affected the sap quality. I will check to see what color cap I have when I go back down to the sh later.
Now I see this was from years ago. Nice

I've got three of them that came from the same baby food maker here in VT. They all contained some kind of oil, soy, veggie, etc. Lots of guys use them here and all say that after a good HOT pressure washing they haven't had any troubles. The most difficult time we had was cleaning the ball valves but they are fine now. Two have red caps and one has a black cap but I've been assured by the person that procured them that once washed they will be fine. The underlying issue here is KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM. Good luck all, season is slow to start here in Northern VT.

If you are in the central NY area (Syracuse) I have a bunch of the food grade totes for sale, both 250 and 275 gallon size. You can see my ad in the classifieds section.
