In my opinion, this unit is used best for cleaning out concentrates and not raw material.


For sure. Anything larger than what the Blue Bowl is designed for (#30 mesh or smaller) would scratch the inside of the bowl.... which would be bad.

Mine should arrive today, and I'm wondering about what Chris said earlier about bleeding off excess pressure. The pump in the kit is a 750, and the other pumps I have are bigger than that. Considering moving the valve back and bleeding off pressure, I think I'll try using a Y-split. My thought process is to be able to switch quickly from classifying to running the BB. I'm thinking put a nozzle on the other side of the split. Any thoughts on the utility or wisdom of that?

Eric, I just checked and I'm running a 500 pump, it is just right. I used to run a 750 but it gave up the ghost last year. I would recommend a Y for the 750. Most garden variety Y splitters have a built-in lever style regulator on each outlet. Combine that with a good spigot valve on the main bowl feed and regulating flow will be much easier.

Looks like the links to the pics at the beginning of the thread are dead.
