I have a Chat improved 13. The lower cup holders have a small hole for juice to drain.  Invariably the holes will clog from debris and juice will get in the bearing cup. Therefore, I use mineral oil, or you can get food grade oil from a restaurant, it's also mineral oil.  In the upper bearing I fold a wash cloth and pack it on the opposite side of the bearing and using an oil can I soak the cloth with mineral oil.  Mineral oil will get in the juice but through filtering and skimming it is removed.

I hope this helps.

I use food grade oil and food grade grease that I purchase from a restaurant supply store.

We settle our juice overnite and strain it, use bottles of ice to keep it cool, we fire hard as we can till it?s almost syrup. We also strain the hot syrup and settle it and bottle cold. Works for us

My syrup does the same thing. I took some to the local college chemistry department to have it analyzed. Their response was that different sugars have different size molecules and the heaviest sugar molecules settle to the bottom. 

That is why the old folks put their syrup in cans.

 Thanks for the information.? I never thought about letting the juice settle overnight.? I will be grinding the second weekend of December so I think it will be cold and won't have to ice the juice.? Where can I buy a hydrometer for measuring the viscosity.? What is the measurement I must attain.? I have been using my eye on the dipper as the syrup drips off as I am cooking.? Any suggestions would be appreciated.?

We stopped making syrup several years back but we got a lot of our supplies from maple syrup equipment suppliers. You'd have to do a google search online. I don't remember the name.

We get ours off the internet, we usually cook down about 34. One more thing we do is add invertase enzyme while cooking to keep the syrup from turning to sugar. John 843-339-1115

Message-ID: <DM5PR20MB122589E429E43A8803BAC7FEF8240@DM5PR20MB1225.namprd20.prod.outlook.com>

I am new to Cane mills and recently purchased a Chattanooga #72 Power Cane Mill.   After doing some research on this mill, I have a few questions that are unanswered at this time before I start to restore this mill.   The first question is what is the difference between the the Chattanooga #71 and #72 Cane Mill?   Second after reviewing factory photos and looking at my mill, I strongly suspect my mill had a bagasse carrier at one time due to a second pulley off the flywheel?   Are the any mills with an original bagasse carriers that I could use as a pattern to build a new once since mine is missing this part?   Also, any ideas how long this mill was built?   I was able to find this mill in a sales catalog in 1919 and also a parts catalog in 1926 so I know it was built during that time frame.   The other question that I have was after reviewing factory decisions as concerning to paint codes and having a sample of paint color sample, I am confident I will be able to match the Harvest Red and Black that was called for by the factory.  What I haven't been able to figure out is what color is the lettering was on the mill and bagasse carrier since this was lighter than the factory photos which were black and white.   Also, has anyone uses food grade paint when painting the machine or haven't you noticed much paint being lost when using mill.   Once we get the mill restored I am sure I will have plenty of questions about growing and making sorghum.     Thanks so much for you time and help answering these questions.

Just to start the 71 and 72 were made close to the same time. They did overlap in years the 71 has smaller diameter rollers the same width. The 72 weighs more about ,800 lbs more. I have pics of the bagasse carrier never seen one. I built feed tables for my 72 and 92 mills. As for color all my are green by choice. John

Dave, Your on the right track taking advice from Mr John, They have the best looking restoration on a 92 that i've seen. Pay attention to the feed table they have, it;s makes a world of difference in feeding a mill heavy if you have the right angle and length. I have a pummies carrier on my Chattanooga 92 that i built. It works well but not original. You would be welcome to check it out sometimes if your close to north Florida. Not much difference in the 92 and 72 except for an extra bearing for the top roller and most 92 had closed gears on the rollers. For this reason i could not easily put a gear to gear pummis carier and had to add a v belt pulley to the discharge roller. ?Tommy- Florida- cane syrup.

Thanks so much so far for the help.   One thing that I forgot to mention is that the Wisconsin State Historical Society was a good source for Chattanooga related material since IHC bought out Chattanooga Plow company in 1919.    The Wisconsin Historical Society houses the IHC archives.


Thanks again for all the help!
Dave

I remember seeing some discussion about filtering syrup. ?I am looking for some material to use as a filter for the hot syrup, anyone have any suggestions of what to use or where to get it?
Here is what we do:We mill the cane and filter the juice through a fine wire mesh screen and burlap.We cook the juice and skim like I think everyone does, we also have a "boil over" ring where stuff floats to the top, boils over the ring and is caught in some rags at the base of the ring (on the kettle edge).
When our syrup is done, we transfer into a vessel and then pout it through some muslin material to filter it before bottling it. ?What are others doing? ?What type of material are you using and where do you get it?
We had some difficulty this year as we used some new muslin. ?Some of what we used was very old and worn and worked good until it became brittle and ripped.
Thanks,
Kirk

I have been using 5 gallon paint strainer bags for years. They are the same material as jelly bags you buy for straining hot jelly. Get them at local hardware for a few bucks. Kevin.

I used bag filters 100 micron for the juice. 50 micron for syrup. The human eye can?t see 40 microns. Just hold the filter by hand

The best filter I have ever found is sheer curtain material.? I don't know if it is polyester or nylon, but we strain our juice and our syrup through it.? After years of filtering both through muslin cloth, we were overjoyed when a old man showed us how he did his.? It is a thousand times easier and quicker, and it filters it very well.? Whatever the material is, it will not melt either, even though it feels somewhat plastic like.? We have used the same one now for several years, and it has lasted very well.
