Inside the wire screen is a wiper screw moving the solids forward to the spring loaded exit, which maintains sufficient backpressure on the feed.
The screw usually performs double duty - move the mash forward and keep the screen from blinding.
100%
Slower rpm=longer service life (usually).
There is a shroud/ hopper on the under belly that has a 3" TC flange. The unit comes with a measure of 3" hose to direct liquid toward a discharge area.
The unit also comes with a measure of 2" hose to connect to a (feed) pump truck. The control panel is set up to install a pump. But a pump station is not included.
Looking at the design and how the solids actually come off / out of the unit, I feel like elevating the stand and perhaps cantilevering the discharge side a bit in order to make it easier to position a collection bin directly under the discharge would be very helpful to keeping the work area more user friendly.
Thanks to @smaug and his great team, I got the tracking number for my 2 rifled 2" x 1M HX's, can't wait to play with them! Might test them out on the 8" 26 plate vodka rig this weekend instead of the 8" PC and see how many L/hr they can handle in series.. then off to do another round of continuous testing with them....

Anybody can plainly see, that is a transdimensional ionization nebulizer upgrade module.
I'm more like I am now than I was before.
Part of the waste output for the continuous still?
I build these up in assemblies that I sell. Work real good too.
a strainer basket by any other name is still just a strainer basket.

Where is the rest of it?!?
We just took a majorly big delivery and the guys are busy getting the warehouse organized in some kinda way that will allow us to move around.
If I start uncrating,,,pretty sure they (and Dianne) will mug me.
Couple days and should be ready for some pics.

Nice work StillDragon crew! Talk about really addressing the needs of the distilling market.

The solids discharge exits from the large spring side.
Moving forward I think well elevate the unit more and install a chute onto the stand that allows for discharging directly into a tote sized receiver.
The hopper chute in the foot is actually an option to use instead of the manifold. I suspect the manifold will be the tool of choice?

Seen a high rpm unit at ADI a few years ago. They wanted 70k
Then last year at ADI there was a high rpm unit for 35k. A total bargain compared to 70k.
This one here will be half ( + or -) of last years ADI unit.
