why don't you go "brute force" route?
get you a dip stick, vary flow-in rates, measure corresponding heights maintained.
That's how flow curves are validate.
I assume your batteries are of the vented type. If so, not only must you comply with NFPA 70E-320.4(A), you must also comply with NFPA 70E-320.4(C).
Obey the Inspector. Resistance is futile!

Looking at the diagram provided, I am taking R2 to be the normal force.
If theta is the angle of the incline, that is the angle the incline makes with the horizontal, then
R2 = MG / cos theta
which is consistent with the result Sharpman obtained, since 0<= cos theta <=1

Please post your solution to this problem so we can see how you get the numbers you post.
Maybe then I can offer a helpful comment on the questions you asked.
I would start by using Google. Know how to do that?
Thinking, well, since I know so little about an oil mist eliminator, I'd google "oil mist eliminator" to get started.
Is this too much work?

Don't see why you make this more complicated that it is.Have you seen how a selector system on a conveyor works? Usually that is a flapper that routes items one way or the other.
So what you want to do is set the flapper in one direction and hold it there until you need to set it the other way...
Permit me to first advise you to take the time to get familiar with the codes. When you do, you'd be able address with more confidence.
Second and more important, you should know that the codes are ALL ABOUT SAFETY. So ask yourself, in this case which is safer: public access to the switches or...

Your problem is "dwell-time" after the fill. So what you really want to do is cool the filled containers, not the pre-filled paraffin wax ( Think about it, cooling the pre-fill will increase its viscosity and make it more un-economic to get it into the containers!
So, first suggestion that...
Whatever happened to good old-fashioned experimentation?
I think you'd get more reliable answers by getting a tank of Nitrogen and doing some hands on work.
Seriouly. That's what I'd do.
