Heavy duty media separator?

[gargodude]

I've been wet tumbling with SST pins for a few times now. Did a huge bunch (about 2000) 9mm cases this time and my Lyman media separator (orange plastic) isn't cutting it because the plastic is too flimsy to hold the weight of the brass and the pins. I only did about 800 at a time, but it's barely making it and will probably break if I keep this up. It would be great if the basket box part were made out of stronger reinforced plastic. Has anyone used the Franklin Armory one? They claim that it can handle the wet tumbling with pins. Any other ideas? I realize that if I separated the whole lot into 400-500 case batches that the Lyman unit could handle it, but I'd rather do more at once.

The large Dillon separator has always worked well for me. It's solid.

Get a CM-2000 CASE/MEDIA SEPARATOR.

It would do 2000 9mm cases easy.

Do you use these with the SST pins? cases are MUCH heavier than with dry media?

Have you seen the Dillon CM-2000 ? I don't think you could overload it.

Yes, it looks pretty beefy. I'll check it out. Thanks.

I use the FA 5 gallon bucket and basket. Works well with 10 lbs of pins and however much brass I'm running. Fill the bucket with water, pour the brass and pins in, and spin it slowly about 20 times. Rarely find any pins stuck with the brass.

I use a simple kitchen strainer over a bucket. Then just turn my cases upside down and shake them a bit.
Nail magnet catches any stray pins.
