Moving all 15 balls out of our spiral hopper in 3 seconds takes some fast turning!

We thought the Keyang was going to be fast enough(was not)
And we are already using all of our CIMs........
The STOD is PVC and has a 4" cleanout on the bottom which has a 1" square hole in it,
so all we have to do it "slip" the square tube an FP under the STOD and put the tube in the cleanout and its good to go
thinking back....
we should have used the FP on our intake roller instead of a CIM, then we'd have it for the STOD, but o-well(just one of our design "quirks")
we're gonna do so much better with the faster intake rate..........
