did any of your Higgins family come from NC?
Volume...............I do 200-400 gallons at a time. If you look closer at the pictures you'll see it has an air operated "dumper" that dumps 2 oil cubes at a time. The stainless steel perforated drum turns at about 2.5 rpm while the 6" auger counter-rotates at about 50 rpm. The oil flows through the holes and the "crispies" Fry-bits,etc, fall out the other end into a 4" auger and into a trash barrel. Yeald? About 5 gal of "crispies" to every 500 gal of oil. Under the cleaner is a collection pan for the cleaned oil. The oil flows through a 3 stage water-trap[ also in my gallery ], from there the oil goes directly to the inlet of a 1hp pump, which dumps into the 500 gal heating tank.
I took out 90 percent of the labor and "mess" from my process. I can put any oil in, no matter how thick or "nasty" and out comes clean oil!
My new processer will be able to process 500 gal/day EVERYDAY. Thats if I want to be lazy..........the processer will do 100 gal/hr, but I do drink alot of coffee!
No, but alot of them migrated down from New England. Mine came here in 1633.
