Shooting Technology LEM Plus Electromagnetic Brass Cleaner
The LEM Plus by Shooting Technology is an electromagnetic brass case cleaner that uses neodymium magnets and stainless steel micro-needles to get your brass cases spotlessly clean in 15 to 40 minutes. No tumbler, no walnut media, no dust: just water, a squirt of dish soap, and the included stainless steel micro-needles. The result is brass that looks brand new, both on the outside and inside, including the primer pocket.
How Does the LEM Plus Work?
The LEM Plus features a rotating platform with strategically placed neodymium magnets. The eccentric positioning of the magnets relative to the center of the tank creates a "shaking" effect that continuously moves the brass through the cleaning solution. The micro-needles are dragged through the liquid by the electromagnetic field and exert a polishing action on all surfaces of the case, including hard-to-reach areas like the primer pocket and flash hole.
This method delivers significantly cleaner results compared to traditional methods such as tumbling with walnut media or ultrasonic cleaning. Where walnut media mainly polishes the exterior, the LEM Plus micro-needles thoroughly reach the inside of the case and the primer pocket as well.
Key Features
The LEM Plus is the entry-level model of the LEM series and features a single-phase motor with a fixed speed of 1,400 RPM. With a load capacity of 1.8 kg, you can clean a substantial batch of brass in a single session, suitable for all common calibers from pistol to rifle, up to .50 BMG.
Advantages Over Traditional Cleaning Methods
- No replacement media needed, the stainless steel micro-needles last for years
- Cleans both the exterior and interior of the case in one session
- Primer pockets and flash holes are thoroughly cleaned
- Works with plain water and a squirt of dish soap
- Suitable for all calibers up to .50 BMG
- Compact dimensions (335 x 315 x 530 mm) fit any reloading bench

Applications
The LEM Plus is ideal for any reloader who values clean brass as the foundation for consistent ammunition. Whether you reload pistol brass for IPSC competitions or prepare rifle cases for F-Class and precision long-range shooting, clean brass is the starting point of every good reloading session.
After cleaning and drying, your brass is immediately ready for the next steps in the reloading process, such as annealing or resizing. Pair the LEM Plus with the Sirocco case dryer from Shooting Technology for a complete and efficient cleaning workflow.
Practical Use
- Place your brass cases in the supplied plastic tank
- Add water, a squirt of dish soap, and optionally a small amount of anti-limescale liquid
- Add the stainless steel micro-needles
- Turn on the machine and let it run for 15-20 minutes for pistol brass or 30-40 minutes for rifle brass
- Manually switch off the machine when the cleaning cycle is complete
- Separate the micro-needles from your brass (optional magnetic recovery tool sold separately)
