What happens here

Set up the Boss Brine Buddy mixer in a convenient location. This portable unit is designed for easy brine production. Connect the Brine Buddy to a standard electrical outlet. Fill the unit's tank with water using a garden hose; a built-in sensor will automatically shut off the water flow once the tank reaches its 300-gallon capacity. Add approximately 650 pounds of salt to the salt hopper for each 300-gallon batch to achieve the optimal 23.3% brine concentration. Once the salt is added, the unit will mix the brine, capable of producing up to 1000 gallons of brine per hour. For larger-scale operations, a 'Legacy Brine Maker' is available, which can produce 3000 gallons per hour.

Goal: Produce brine efficiently using the portable mixer.

Uh now, this is a great portable unit um you know, for the guys who are just getting started. Uh you know, and for the guys that aren't using tens of thousands of gallons per per brine per snow event. Right. Um this unit right here, it just plugs into an outlet. Um you literally can fill it with a garden hose. Um great thing about this, you put the You start filling with the garden hose in there, there is a sensor in here that when it gets to 300 gallons, it'll automatically turn off the water, so you don't have to stand around and wait for it. Okay. Um so, it makes 300 gallons per batch. This is your salt hopper here. Yep. So, basically, you're just breaking bags of ice. You fit about 300 lb of salt in here. Yep. So, to get to your brine to the 23.3% that you need to be at, >> Right. >> you're looking at about 650 lb of salt per batch. Okay. >> To get to that point, so you are going to have to keep refilling it. And it is a hand operation. You're not going to be able to bring the bucket loader in and just dump it in. You know, so you either got bags you're breaking >> can make up to 1,000 gallons of brine per hour. >> Yep. So, you can fill that truck three times per hour, or uh when it's not snowing, get a separate storage bin, and have your brine preset, however you want to do it.

Yeah, I mean, you could have a 2 or 3,000-lb holding tank or gallon holding tank outside. >> Yep. You'd have that filled up in 3 to 4 hours. The only other option a guy has is they have another size bigger Correct. >> for massive operations, and you load that with a loader. Yep. So, that one you have to get get the legacy brine maker. Now, that's making 600 gallons per batch, about 3,000 gallons per hour. >> Per hour, okay.
