Note that the RESTRAINING PLATE is available as an OPTION.
This plate allows you to use only part of your syrup press when filtering maple syrup.
It is helpful to use this restraining plate when
the amount of syrup to filter is small or in anticipation of a short
filtration day
.
The advantages of using the restraining plate include:
• Saving on the amount of filter paper and filter powder used,
• Reducing equipment cleaning time as fewer plates and hollow frames are used,
• Reducing syrup los.
You can find the installation procedure for this restraining plate here.
1. Select a plate with sleeves from the syrup press (Illustration 3 No. 3).
• The selected plate should ideally be located in the middle section of the press.
2. Place this plate slightly away from the hollow frame (Illustration 3 No. 1) which is located on the side opposite the jack
(Illustration 3 No. 4).
• Space it so that the restraining plate can be inserted freely.
3. Insert the restraining plate (Illustration 3 No. 2) between the plate with sleeves and the selected hollow frame. Also
insert the filter papers as described in
Section 4.4 FILTER PAPERS, HOLLOW FRAMES, PLATES AND CONNECTORS.
4. Close the syrup press with the pneumatic jack (Illustration 3 No. 4), applying moderate pressure to the press components.
Notes on the plate with sleeves ADJACENT to the restraining plate
The sleeves are factory fitted tight when fitted to the plates. Although they appear fixed in their opening, they
will move slightly under the pressure of the jack when the press is closed. Despite this slight forced movement
in their opening, you will be able to continue to use this plate with sleeves on your next workday, whether you
use the restraining plate or not.
In addition, when using your restraining plate in the future, it is recommended that you use this same - slightly
displaced – plate with sleeves as an immediate neighbouring component to your restraining plate.
RESTRAINING PLATE: COMPONENT SET UP SEQUENCE
• It is important to follow the component SET UP SEQUENCE taking into account the position of
the hollow frame (1) and the jack (4) on the syrup press.
• The restraining plate (2) must be on the same side of the hollow frame (1) as the jack (4).
