Clearing Sugar Wash - Are Conical Tanks Effective?

[Salt Must Flow]

I was wondering from anyone here that has experience using conical bottoms could confirm if this will work as I hope it will.

I'm very seriously considering purchasing a 60 degree conical tank to clear my sugar washes in. After fermentation, I intend to thoroughly degass using a submersible pond pump, add the Bentonite Clay slurry then pump all of the contents of the fermenter into the conical tank. Overnight my sugar washes clear quite well. The trub consolidates a bit more over another 24 hrs. I'm hoping I can then crack the bottom valve and effectively drain away all the trub. I'm hoping to be able to use a conical tank similarly as a separatory funnel to separate the trub very easily. I have no intentions of fermenting inside it at this time.

Is this a reasonable expectation or is it more likely that the trub will tend to 'stick' to the walls and not act like a separatory funnel?
