L.E.M. Deluxe electromagnetic case cleaner - Shooting Technology
The L.E.M. Deluxe works on the same principle as every machine in the L.E.M. line: a rotating magnetic field drives thousands of stainless steel micro-needles across every surface of your brass. Outside, inside, the neck, the primer pocket, the flash hole. Rotary tumblers don't reach those areas. With the Deluxe, pistol brass is done in 10 to 15 minutes, rifle brass in 20 to 30 minutes.
The difference from the entry-level L.E.M. Plus lies in the electronic board. Rather than running at a fixed speed, the board continuously adjusts motor RPM based on how much brass is loaded in the tank. More brass means more resistance; the board compensates automatically. Every 8 minutes, the motor stops briefly and restarts, re-mixing the cases so all surfaces get cleaned from a fresh angle. That sounds like a minor detail, but the difference in cleaning results is noticeable, especially with rifle brass and its longer neck and primer pocket.
The Deluxe runs at 1,400 RPM with 250W of power. That's enough for batches up to 1.8 kg of brass. The machine does not stop automatically when the cycle is complete; the user decides when to switch it off. In practice, the recommended times are a reliable guide: after 15 minutes for pistol or 30 minutes for rifle brass, your cases come out looking new.

Deluxe, Plus, or Exclusive?
The L.E.M. Plus is the entry-level option: fixed motor speed, straightforward, reliable. The Deluxe adds intelligent speed regulation and the automatic 8-minute restart cycle for better mixing. Want to go further still? The L.E.M. Exclusive and L.E.M. Exclusive 9 bring a DC motor with a wider RPM range (600-2,800), a larger capacity (2.0 kg), and a fully automatic program with auto-stop. For most pistol shooters who reload regularly, the Deluxe is an excellent choice. For precision rifle shooters processing larger batches of rifle brass, the step up to the Exclusive is worth considering.
After cleaning, the Sirocco case dryer from the same manufacturer handles drying quickly and efficiently. Dry brass goes straight to sizing or neck turning. For precise primer removal, Shooting Technology also makes the ADM automatic decapping machine.
