So I just set up and I'm trying to test my new Mori 6 spout filler.  Got a 43 foot three quarter inch hose hooked up to a bulk tank then to the included pump, flojet 4300-043.  Hose is floor level, filler is a couple feet above.  

The pump is running but nothing is being pumped through the hose. wth

Anyone have any idea what may be wrong? I'm trying to get this situated this weekend.

Don't trust any bottle maker in China that is not owned and run by westerners.  You will regret it.  Many times over.

I would rather have just a forklift than just a dock.  That's how I did it for 5 years.  Is it fun to unload 21 pallets of empty bottles off a trailer without a dock?  No, but doable with a pallet jack and forklift in about an hour, by myself.  Actually, for the first two years I borrowed my industrial neighbor's forklift when I needed it.  

my lord you are delusional.  I don't know who you are, but apparently you think you really know me.  I'll leave it at that, no sense disturbing your personal version of reality

Hey thanks for the timely lesson and deep personal insight!  Waiting breathlessly for your first product to find out how qualified you are.  keep spreading the aloha...

Anyone who has serious interest in this is delusional.  For my reason stated above.  And as was said above, how many will spend $500 plus feed stock to get a gallon of liquor a week?  

fyi making a tiny continuous still is not new and revolutionary.  They exist, I've seen one, so what.  A tiny continuous still interests a tiny number of people.  There is nothing to get.

Not in my lifetime unfortunately.  And I'm not expiring any time soon.

Good luck, wish I was wrong.  but I'm not.

oh crap, did I mistakenly log on to the brewing forum?

Pending sale. But I'll keep you posted.

SOLD

All the fillers have variable flow rate control.  This one does not have inert gas flush.  Not sure why anyone would want inert gas flush with spirits.  I do just fine with filtered air.

The pump went out so I sent the whole thing back and had them replace it and bring it back to new spec.  Perhaps recalibration was not the right word?  Haven't used it since.

I've used it with the enolmatic filter with no issue.  That is, no issue with the xpressfill.  The enolmatic filter on the other hand is a design nightmare.  Plastic, plastic, plastic, and as such easily breakable.  I had several plastic enolmatic filter caps break.  That filter is NOT professional quality IMHO.  So I made one of the best equipment purchase decisions of my career, a stainless 10" housing that uses double open ended 0.5 micron filters.  I use hoses with camlock fittings to connect, the 1/2" hose from my bulk filling tank is about 25' long, works great.  Easy peasy and will last a lifetime.

BUMP this post.  

Come on, buy this bottle filler.  It's taking up space I need for my Hello Kitty collection.

I've got an Xpressfill XF4100 Level Bottle Filler for sale.  $2800 new, yours for $2000.  Factory recalibrated and reconditioned, hasn't been used since.  Includes spare parts if you ever need them:  pump, spouts, solenoids.

I've upgraded to more automated systems, want to move this out now. OBO

And congrats on the excellent wikipedia usage.

no wonder Tito booted you

You can buy my Race Razor in like new condition (used twice and sitting around for a year).  $950.  lmk

I make Hawaiian Vodka and Hawaiian Moonshine.  Works for me.

I've got a friend in Haiti you can stay with and learn everything.  You'll have to share the barn with the still and a donkey, but the weather's nice.

you should check out their website for info

If you're going to use the still dragon double retort Jamaican style system, you will have to barrel age for several years to mellow the spirit. You will not be able to make traditional cuts, everything will be jumbled together.

No we don't need to know what they look like, where they're made, or what closure they use. Vagueness is next to Godliness.

I do have it.

The Jr you have to roll the bottle by hand. The Razor has a convenient handle to turn.

Sent you an email this afternoon.

What is your contact info?

Anyone still getting panela from this panela guy? Can't seem to contact him.
