RCBS Case Cleaner Media Sifter

The RCBS Case Cleaner Media Sifter (Model 87075) is a separator tool designed to quickly and efficiently remove cleaning media from processed brass cases. After running cases through an RCBS vibratory case cleaner, the sifter attachment handles the labor-intensive task of media separation—a critical step that directly impacts the quality and speed of case preparation for reloading. The sifter works by allowing cleaned cases and media to pass through while returning loose media back to the cleaner bowl for reuse.

The separation process is straightforward: dump cleaned cases and media into a bucket, attach the sifter to the vibratory cleaner, and pour the mixture into the sifter while the cleaner runs. The vibration action causes media particles to fall back into the bowl while cases pass through the sifter basket. This method reduces manual sorting time and minimizes media loss between cleaning cycles. The compact design—measuring 13.6 x 2.95 x 13.65 inches and weighing 0.44 lbs—makes it a space-efficient addition to any reloading bench without requiring dedicated storage.

Reloaders who process high volumes of brass benefit most from this accessory. Whether preparing rifle or pistol cases for match shooting, hunting, or general target practice, the media sifter reduces downtime between cleaning batches and extends media life by preventing unnecessary waste. RCBS is well-established in the reloading market, and this sifter integrates directly with their vibratory case cleaner line, making it an essential complement for serious brass preparation workflows.

Media separation is often the bottleneck in case preparation. Traditional hand-sorting methods consume time and energy; this sifter automates the process using the cleaner's existing vibration. For reloaders who process dozens of cases per session, the efficiency gain justifies the modest investment and quickly becomes a workflow standard.
