I’ve had the idea to automate the washing(i hand stir now)…
My initial idea is like Mila’s “pollenator” except wet, cold, and all metal, with sepratate sieve “layers”, maximizing use of gravity and centrifugal force. The center would contain the material & washing. Operator would simply reload with fresh material & remove old (& monitor). The unit would have a constant supply of freezing cold RO water. It would consume electricity, water, & maintenance, but ideally process up to 50lb. of material per use.
A friend had the idea to use a recirculating “waterfall” over vibrating/agitated sieve trays/racks.
It’s all do-able & of course can rip it off the next day, so here you go lucky inventor…
