Publication number: 20230350388Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and to a method for calibrating Brix in a liquid, sap, syrup or taffy. The system comprises: a tank for receiving a volume of the liquid; a temperature reading apparatus for measuring a temperature of the liquid; a weighing apparatus for measuring a weight of the volume of liquid received in the tank; a volume measurement system for measuring the volume of the liquid received in the tank; an evaporator comprising a plurality of water injectors for spraying water, and a computer operatively connected to the apparatuses and using the data received from the same to calibrate the Brix in the liquid. The method comprises providing the Brix calibrating system; measuring the Brix, temperature, weight, volume, and determining the Brix measurement based on the data received and using the computer to adjust the Brix by actioning the evaporator or the water injectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Marc-Andre CHABOT, Martin CHABOT

Patent number: 11576312Abstract: The present invention generally related to a maple sap lifter configuration and to a sap collection system making use of the sap lifter. The system includes a vacuum pump, a number of pipes, and the sap lifter. The sap lifter includes a body; an inlet for conveying sap towards the sap lifter; a first outlet for conveying the sap away from the sap lifter; and a pump operatively coupled to the pipes and adapted to pump the sap away from the body once a maximum level of sap is reached, and wherein the maximum level of sap is set to leave an air space in the body and in the pipes for maintaining the level of constant vacuum. The sap lifter and the pipes alternatively define a closed-circuit with no fluid communication with ambient air for maintaining the level of constant vacuum.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: LES EQUIPEMENTS D'ERABLIERE C.D.L. INCInventors: Marc-Andre Chabot, Martin Chabot

Publication number: 20220240462Abstract: A device for collecting sap from a tapped hole in a tree and directing the sap to a sap collecting tube that is removably connectable to the device. The device comprises a tapping member with a first portion that is removably insertable into the tree and a second portion extending outside the tree when the first portion is inserted into the tree and a connecting member with a connecting portion adapted to be mounted to the second portion of the tapping member and a fitting portion adapted to receive the sap collecting tube. The device also comprises a securing means for locking the connecting member relative to the tapping member such that longitudinal movement of the connecting member is prevented and a seal mounted between the second portion of the tapping member and the connecting portion of the connecting member.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Christian GOSSELIN, Martin CHABOT
