RCBS Rotary Case/Media Separator

The RCBS Rotary Case/Media Separator (RCBS part no. 87076) is a dedicated basket for pulling clean brass out of a batch of tumbling media. RCBS built this separator so handloaders can empty cases and media straight from the case cleaner into the separator basket, then turn the basket handle several times to let media fall to the bottom while brass stays clean and ready to use. Fine media dust stays trapped inside the separator instead of settling back onto clean brass.

Key Specifications

• Multi-caliber capability works with brass and media from any cartridge, not just one caliber.
• Rotating basket design separates media from brass with a hand-crank motion.
• Case capacity of roughly 180 rounds of 30-06-sized brass handles a full cleaning batch at once.
• Fine dust containment traps media dust inside the separator instead of coating clean brass.
• Basket height of roughly 18.65 inches gives the separator enough internal volume for a full cleaning batch.
• No motor or power source required to operate, just a hand-turned crank.
• Compatible with common tumbling media such as corn cob, walnut shell, or stainless steel pins.
• Simple pour-in loading empties directly from the case cleaner into the separator basket.
• Reduces manual brass sorting time compared to hand-picking cases out of a bowl of media.
