My next improvement will be to incorporate a pump on my sheetz 5" filter press.
I was looking at Bascom filter pumps and noticed an electric pump sold by CDL. My concern is that there is a note that states no warranty. When I looked up the pump, it is only rated for 140 degrees.
I like the idea of an electric pump, already have electricity at the sugar house. Looking around, I found this pump: AMT Pumps 5475-98 High Volume SS Straight Centrifugal Pump. The 1/2 horse version pumps 35 gpm at 50' equivalent head and 200 degrees and is stainless steel. My question is, will this work? How much pressure is required to push syrup through a 5" filter press? I can convert psi to feet of head easy enough but I do not know what pressure is needed. Anyone that has a pressure gauge on there filter press, please help.
