I've used the B's reel with inversion agitation and never had any issues. I was thinking about getting the processor so I'm glad I stumbled across this post. FWIW, Beniot is working on an extension piece that will "jostle" the tank as it rotates. See attached. He told me that he planned to have this up on his website last weekend, but I just checked and it's not there. Since the store will be closed for a month in a few days, I'd suspect we won't see this new piece until late August at the earliest.

You may be able to make a simple wedge, either directly by sawing a piece of timber, or by using a block at one end to make a platform that directly counters the angle of the unit.
You may need to ensure the tank doesn't walk off the the left of the drive wheels by placing it near a solid object, maybe a wall.
Looks interesting, but I would be a bit worried about water getting inside the power unit, either via the knob or the power inlet. One day things will get wet, trust me. :-)

Maybe not exactly relevant, but my Jobo 2500 tank plus 2509 reel takes 270ml and the tank rotates on a simple roller base that rests on the inside base of a tray. It approximates horizontal. I'm surprised that you cannot simply wedge the roller system so that its rotational axis is horizontal.

ah, so the roller base is inclined to prevent the tank from walking off, at least this is how I see it. I'd prefer a model that was level and had rolling guides on each end to prevent walk off. This way one cld have the tank level, and if there was a somewhat eccentric wheel, that should help with agitation. The price is great and if it worked with Expert drums, I'd buy.
notch codes ? I only use one film...
