Good points all

It's hard to see but the rotor is filled with water which acts as a heat sink and prevents any part of the casing below the surface being exposed to too much heat. You are correct that the casings drop into another Tuna can filled with 50/50 water alchohal. No the alchohal doesn't present a problem of ignition. At 70/30 yes it does. I annealed the afore mentioned .223 and a few hundread of the following (30-06, 300 win, 308 win) in one go with no problem. There is no problem with annealing after every shot though I agree it would be a waste of propane. I pick up a lot of brass from the range and so I do a high volume of annealing for that reason. After I have reconditioned the casing I do follow the 5 shot rubric. There is also sand paper on the support plate near the torches that forces them to spin.
