GOLD CLAIMER CONCENTRATOR

The Gold Claimer Concentrator is self-contained and with its 2-8 yard capacity, it is ideal for testing gold values or for small production operations. Its performance is unequalled to any in its field. The unique water supply and reclamation unit allows operation where water is not available. Efficiency is a key ingredient! The hopper has an adjustable water valve to slurry the material prior to entering the trommel. Lifters tumble the material as it enters the trommel to break it up. A spray bar with its own adjustable water valve goes the length of the trommel. Next, the material approaches the 3/8" holes where anything under 3/8" gets washed down onto the oscillating sluice, and larger material works its way to the end of the trommel. A nugget trap will catch any heavies and the lighter material will go out the tail cone to the rock chute and discard tray. The oscillating sluice has settings for stationary, short and long strokes and is capable of 150 pulses per minute. The removable sluice has artificial turf, riffles mounted on expanded metal, and 4 toggles to secure it into place. Any light material that gets washed off the sluice goes into the de-watering screw. Using the de-watering screw is the most efficient way to remove solids from the water and recirculate it. The auger is raised from the bottom, allowing the black sands to trap & also acts as a secondary recovery for gold in case of too much water over the sluice. The adjustable water valve located on the bottom helps the heavy material to settle & lighter material to auger out. Waste material augers out and discards at the end of the Gold Claimer. When plenty of water is available & you do not need to recirculate the water, remove the de-watering screw by removing 2 bolts and the drive shaft. The only change needed is to remove the intake hose off the pump and place a longer hose with a foot valve in your water source. The unique design of the Gold Claimer makes the cleanup process easy! At the end of the day (or sooner if needed), disengage the clutch to shut off the motor. At the hopper end of the unit, slide the sluice out of its cradle and start the operation once again. Another option is to have a second complete sluice ready.
