Ok, it's not actually new but it's new to me : ) So new that I haven't even had a chance to knock the dust from it!

I was all excited because I had found a hardly used Vacuum Assisted SafGard Pasteurizer in the Buy and Sell magazine this week and it was located right here in my own town, it was cheap and I knew who was selling it. So I called them up crossing my fingers that they still had it. No one was home so I left a message. A couple of days went by and I sort of gave up hope that it was still available when the phone rang. She had it but had accidentally packed it and shipped it with her husband all the way up north to Dawson Creek where they are moving to!! But, she had an older one that she would just give to me and if I was still interested in the newer one she would ship it to me when she got there and found it. Well you can't pass up a freebie! So I ran up to her house right away and picked it up. She hadn't used it for many years and could hardly remember how it goes together or how to tell me how to use it : ( So I have it but I have no idea what to do with it *grin*


It's an older model like I had mentioned so it has an agitator to move the milk around in the canister so it doesn't scald on the bottom near the element. I've put it all together and figured out how to lock the milk bucket into it and the agitator top appears to just sit on top. I can't see that it locks down securely unless I'm missing something? The big outlet hose is included that you drain the hot water out of it with and thankfully the rubber stopper for the end of it was there to.


But I'm not sure what this hose is for?? It is quite narrow so would it be to hook onto the faucet and slip in between the milk canister and the wall of the pasteurizer to run the cool water in to cool it down after it is finished? Does anyone have one of these with a manual or have experience using one? I would love some help *grin*

Now all I need is my dairy cow!

Blessings,

Oh, neat!! Our pasteurizer is made by the same company and it looks similar, but a newer model.
Yes, that hose is for what you guessed. We have to take the faucet off pull hose to our sink to insert it into the white rubber part, then stick the other end down b/w the canister and the pasteurizer to run cold water to cool the milk.
Did it come with an instruction manual?
Congratulations on your find!!! Holly

Neat Show & Tell! When were milking our goats we never had one and just drank raw milk.

Happy S&T Friday,

Hi Rosita!
Can't wait for you to get your milk cow so that you can try the pasturizer out and blog about it.

Google it! write the manufacturer tell them the model # they may even have a manual online. If not they may send it to you. Also ask them i something is missing they may have the missing part.

And if all that fails, buy the new one!
Great post. SoCalVal also has a freebie on her S&T

Very great guys!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie

Gotta love those freebies. At our price of milk @4.69 a gal. I told DH, well make off better with a cow. We buy 4 to 5 gallon's of milk a week. No lacking the A or D group here.
Great Show & Tell,
Debbie

I have never had raw milk... I have heard so much about it so I will have to give it a try if I ever get a chance!

Now all you need is a cream separater to go with it! We bought one off e-bay about a year ago for our future goats (since you can't separate their cream out by letting it sit). But that thing is harder to put together than your pasteurizer! It is a hand-crank MONSTER with a million little pieces. We lent it to our son and family because they had goats, but alas! They moved over here and the separater is still over in Pullman. Oh, well. My husband said, "Oh, well. I think I"m going to buy an electric one. None of this handcrank stuff for me."
