ball "fuel" hopper sorter

Have any of you come up with a fast and reliable way to sort a hopper full of balls into a single file feed for your shooter?
We have experimented with what the boiler mechanism is using but in the confined space of what we have for a hopper we are not having much success getting more than 2 balls/sec reliably. Spin the sorter to fast and balls just bounce around. Somtimes the balls bind against each other in the strangest of places and wreak havoc.
Thanks
