Number of taps
The starting point: it sets the size of your tubing network and pumps.
Solution NRJ · Maple syrup

Power depends on your number of taps
More taps means more pumps and equipment to run, so a bigger generator. We size it with you from your actual equipment.
Vacuum pumps and reverse osmosis
Send us the nameplates (a photo is enough): they show each motor’s power and starting load.
The rest of the shack
Lighting, heating, exhaust fan: everything that must keep running during a sap run.
With this information, we recommend one model: the right one.

Not too small, not too big
A generator too big for the real load gets fouled: see Oversized generator: cylinder glazing. That is why we start from your equipment, not a guess.
Questions about your sugar shack
What size generator for my sugar shack?
From our sales, 15 to 100 kW. Size mostly depends on your number of taps, so on the vacuum pumps and reverse osmosis to run. Send us your equipment list and we will recommend the right model.
Can it run day and night all sugaring season?
Yes. Our generators are built for 24/7 heavy duty. A sugar shack far from the grid is normal use for them.
