Instead of building a manifold system for an MLT, couldn't you make a false bottom out of some stainless mesh? Would it plug up too easily? Lose efficiency? (Grain not in contact with water under the screen).
This is purely a hypothetical question, because actually making a screen to fit well would likely be more work than the manifold anyway.
