Hello Frans,

I wonder if you could take a look at this short clip and see what jumps out at you? Maybe my funnel is too shallow.

Looks like the funnel is too 'flat' on the bottom. We also initially tried a leaf blower motor 'dimmed' by a Variac but while it was able to blow beans far away, it could not push a larger bean mass around. The air speed may be low but the 'push' behind it must be substantial.

Thanks much!

Anyway you can share the specs on the blower you have? There are like 5,6 different power and pressure levels that one can buy.

Cheers!

Hi Alex, I'd have to take a look up close when I am back in Tije's workshop, or search in the email history for when we ordered this pump. So it might take some time. Anyway, this exchange of information works best if others also post their specific plans and results on a blog of their own so everyone can learn and it will be a two way street. Cheers, Frans

PS look for a pump that is
1) not too loud
2) delivering 20mBar or more
3) about 60m3 / hour

Thanks so much!

I wrote another response but somehow didn't show up here. Completely agree with your input on having my own blog and share info.

Cheers!

Here's my blog. I haven't get to the blower part yet. Just trying to capture the process so far.

It is painfully slow right now ...

Again, your sharing has been enabling me to go on, one tiny step at a time. So thank you again.
