Your sifting table is a good idea, but what you need to increase your speed is a slanted seperating table that feeds into your sifting table.

Then when you pour the media/brass onto the slanted sifting table the brass and media will slide down. Attach a solid bottom to the slanted table that makes the walnut media slide down into the tote. Hopefully by the time the brass makes the journey down the slant table all the media has been seperated and your sifting table just becomes a final check station.

We use a slant table in the Army for mass brass turn in ops. It really helps seperate out the rocks/twigs.
