The producer wanted to scale their tap count without expanding the boil-house storage. We helped them build a five-tote sap collection rig: three caged composite 275s for raw sap, plumbed into a vacuum manifold from the tap network, with two stainless 350s on the concentrate side.
Season one we delivered the totes, helped with valve and hose layout, and provided drawings. Season two they refined the manifold, added a sight-glass on the stainless tank, and made it through a record run with no overflow events.
The producer's report: about 30% reduction in season-prep labor (no longer hand-moving 5-gal buckets), and a smoother boil schedule because the concentrate tank acts as a buffer.
Maple producers ask us about IBC setups every February. This is the rig we point them to.
