Looking for opinions on which style cream machine is best & why? Paddle, gear pump or other? Fastest, ease of clean up? Best consistency?
Thanks,
Murray

Somewhere around 800 - 900 taps on Atlas Copco vacuum
1 Sap Ladder & 1 can
2 1/2 x 10 Waterloo/Small, with Piggyback & hood,

CDL autodrawoff, Homemade drawoff/filter tank with pump,

In my opinion a gear pump style machine is the only way to go. To be clear, I have never used a paddle machine but what I see as advantages over a paddle machine are; Consistently mixed batches, less chance for air bubbles in finished product, very easy to fill containers, and relatively easy clean up.

I was told recently that they use a Hobart for sugar & cream. What's the thoughts on that?

Can’t speak as to paddle style,we have a cdl gear machine,works great,easy to clean up,paid for itself pretty quickly. Probably run 60 plus gallons through it per year
