Anyone know where to pick up an extra set of 7 inch filter press plates? I believe I can fit one more set of plates in mine without replacing the horizontal bolts. Just wondering where to purchase

Did you try just searching using Google or whatever search engine you use? You can also try whoever bought out WesFab. Some dealers that carried WesFab might have a set around.
I started with a short bank Lapierre (3 sets) and later added 2 more. It made a huge difference. Mine started with a spacer for each horizontal bar that was no longer needed when I added the 2 additional sets.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
CDL owns Wesfab and still sells the presses under that name. Call a CDL dealer
Sugaring for 45+ years
New Sugarhouse 14'x32'
New to Me Algier 2'x8' wood fired evaporator
2022 added a used RB25 RO Bucket
250 mostly Sugar Maples, 15% Soft Maples. Currently,(110on 3/16" and 125 on Shurflo 4008 vacuum, 15 gravity), (16,000 before being disabled)
1947 Farmall H and Wagon with gathering tank
2012 Kubota with forks to move wood around
BAP is correct CDL owns them and still sells the brand. Hang on to your shorts...they aren't cheap. We looked at turning our short into a long. We'd like to change over to a diaphragm pump to. The plates alone encouraged us to sell ours and upgrade when the time comes.

Tapping since 1985 (four generations back to early to mid 1900s). 200-250 taps on buckets and then tubing in the mid 90s. 2013- 275 taps w/sap puller 25 gal. 2014-295 taps w/sap puller 55 ga. (re-tapped to vacuum theory) 2015-330 taps full vac. 65 gal, 2016-400 taps 105 gal, 2017-400 taps 95 gal. 2018-additional 800' mainline and maybe 400 new taps for a total near 800 taps. 2x6 Leader WSE (last year on it) supported by a 250 gph RO.
Under $140 for both plates. Thx so much
I contacted CDL directly , ( they told me ---- $46.85 for the hollow plate ----- $46.85 for the waffle plate ) interesting different Quotes !
Wondering if I can buy from CDL directly? Do you happen to have a phone number?
