I was grinding barley in my blender when I got an idea for an upgrade.
The smallest particles of grain are quite airborne, while the bigger bits still fall to the bottom of the pitcher.
The tiny finished product still interfered with the process.
I ended up sifting out the finished flour and returning the unfinished bits to the blender.
It was more work, going back a step in the process.
What if I could sort out the finished product as I went?
So, if I introduced pressurized air through a nozzle, could I induce the finest bits of flour to leave via another opening?
I'm thinking a half inch cpvc pipe with an elbow at the end mated to an air
mattress inflator.
The air is introduced about half way down into the blender,at the side, with the elbow directing the air to form a vortex.
The outlet would be at the top of the blender, with a large barbed fitting directing particle laden air to a food safe container, via a clear hose.
All penetrations would be via the lid, to avoid any issues with drilling glass.
With the blender already inducing a vortex, it might be better to blow the air strait down into the grains.
The final food safe container probably
should have a lid with a filter, to release air and retain flour.
