Maple Syrup Double Cone Filtering Tank
Description / Maple Syrup Double Cone Filtering Tank
For syrup producers who value clarity, quality, and tradition, this Stainless Steel Double Cone Filtering Tank delivers a simple yet highly effective gravity-filtration solution. Whether you’re a small-scale homesteader or producing dozens of gallons per season, this tank helps you remove "sugar sand" (niter) and fine sediment from freshly boiled syrup — the final step before bottling.
Why Choose a Double Cone Filter Tank?
-
Gentle gravity filtration: As hot syrup flows through a cone filter bag or pre-filters, sediments settle naturally—no pressure, no risk of scorching, and minimal impact on flavor or color. Many producers prefer cone filtration over messy flat trays or expensive plate-and-frame presses.
-
Durable stainless steel construction: Built to withstand hot syrup (and repeated seasonal use), the tank resists corrosion and is easy to clean — helping you comply with food-safety best practices.
-
Compatible with standard cone filters: Works with cone filter bags or synthetic filter cones (sold separately), making it a flexible choice for both hobbyists and commercial makers.
-
Simple to operate: After the syrup reaches the proper density/temperature, pour it in while hot, let gravity do the work, then draw off the clear syrup from the bottom valve or spigot (if equipped). Ideal for hot-pack bottling.
When & How to Use
-
Boil your sap to syrup using your evaporator or finishing pan.
-
Bring the syrup to the proper density, then heat to the filtration temperature as recommended by maple-syrup guidelines.
-
Line the cone tank with a food-grade filter bag or synthetic cone filter (and pre-filter if needed).
-
Carefully pour the hot syrup into the filter. Gravitation pulls the syrup through, leaving the sediment behind.
-
Draw off the clear syrup from the bottom at bottling temperature and proceed to the jar or syrup container.
Who This Is For
-
Home or hobby maple syrup producers who boil sap seasonally.
-
Small-batch commercial producers need a cost-effective alternative to plate-and-frame filter presses.
-
Farmers or homesteaders seeking stainless steel, food-safe equipment built to last.
Add-on Suggestions
For best results, pair this tank with a premium cone filter bag, a synthetic filter cone, or a pre-filter pad, mainly if you regularly produce large batches.
