I wasn't sure what a slosher tray was, so I went and found a picture of one. From the looks of it, the sole purpose of this device is to keep sheet film separated while tray processing. Looks like you can agitate the tray the same as you would for paper processing with this thing. So constant agitation is the norm, provided that you do it.
