It was a big improvement over the #6 Roaster, as it recycles the removed moisture, injecting it, under pressure, into stock whose moisture content is too low. I hope that you're planning on adding lifting lugs for the plant crane to move it to its operating pedestal.

Ahh, yes, the 7B. That is a great improvement over the model 6, and especially the 5. After all, the 5 could not deal well with all the anhydrous H2O that was produced as a byproduct of the process. Excellent job of scratch building an exact replica.
