As a former paintball industry engineer, I have been building and designing all kinds of pachinko ball lifters for a couple of decades now and I have to say, this one is really cool! The Rockston Vortex is my latest creation featuring stackless real time lifting of the pachinko balls that fall out of the back of your pachinko machine.

Instead of using a sprocket and having to lift an entire 32" stack of balls, the Vortex accelerates lost balls instantly up to a decelerator on top where they then drop into your prize hopper. This unique approach does away with the internal stresses involved with constantly pushing a large heavier stack of steel balls, a problem that has plagued 3D printed lifters from the very beginning. It also requires just one ball to operate! Other lifters hold 80 balls or more inside and in the lift tube before they plop their first ball into the hopper. This is additional operating expense that the Vortex does not require.
