55 gallon bulk pasteurizer question
    #21854191 - 06/25/15 08:46 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I have a 55 gallon steel drum bulk pasteurizer that is heated with 240v heating element. I have a 3/4" hose spigot attached to the bottom to drain the water. However, I just can't quite get all the water out after a run without having to tip the barrel over to dump it out. The spigot is about 2" from the bottom so there is always a bit of nasty straw soaked water in the bottom. Any advice on removing the remaining water from the pasteurizer without tipping it every time? I have thought about using a small fountain pump and screening off the intake to remove the remaining water, or possibly using a small rubber bung in the bottom. Maybe a hand pump siphon, but it would have to be pumped constantly to remove it I imagine. Any ideas or experience would be appreciated.

Put a 90degree elbow inside with a section of pipe going down to about 1/2 off the bottom. You will still need to tip it but there should be about a cup of water left if you do it right.

I can deal with a cup much better than a few gallons. I should be able to attach an elbow and pipe to my spigot threads on the inside. I figured someone would have a better solution if I asked. THanks!
