I hate how slow classifying can be. So hopefully this speeds things up.
4.7mm SS punched sheet.
350mm deep, 300mm wide.
Split hinge arrangements.
Hand crank, 1/2 inch socket drive for conector to scissor type jack handle.
reverse tip, or slide off.
Can be used away from waters edge once tub is full.

SS sheet $30
Hoop ring at top rolled $15
Various other materials $20
Build time was a bit of time. Easy a day.
sheet was hand rolled on a bench, using 40x40x3 angle camped down on bench edge, with a 2mm space under at each end. Feed and push down, feeding 15mm at time evenly.
 
Thanx guys. Unproven as yet, test tomorrow.
And yes im sure of you are thinking 36v drill on the handle....... :)
 
I finally see the end result in all its glory! yeah I have been keeping an eye out for a small washing machine drum!

Hehe turned out pretty damn nice mate! Love how you have it pivot to empty.

Can't imagine it will take all that long to process 30L of material with it, that's for sure.
