Move more material... get more gold is the best reason to upgrade your gold recovery efforts to a trommel, but now there's an even better incentive -- the 14 inch Pro Gold Trommel is 40% OFF through December 31, 2014 or until stock is depleted -- whichever comes first! That's right, this gold getting machine is now only $2,520 instead of $4,299!

How the Pro Gold Trommel works: Material is placed into the hopper, where the first spray zone washes the material before entering the rotating drum. The second spray zone, inside the rotating drum, washes the material as it tumbles. The third spray zone, outside the rotating drum, keeps the drum clean and helps wash the material. This unique design ensures the material is washed from multiple angles as the drum rotates, allowing a 5-gallon bucket of material to be processed in 2-3 minutes.

As the material is washed and tumbled, the smaller pieces and dirt fall through the drum’s heavy steel screen into the funnel assembly. From there they are directed into the top end of the sluice where the gold is separated. The larger material still in the rotating drum is tumbled and washed for the entire length of the drum and dropped out the end onto the rock chute.

The 14 inch trommel comes with a 4" Pro Inline Screen that captures the particles and vegetation in the water you are pumping to your machine and prevents them from plugging the holes in the spray bars of your equipment. You just connect a discharge hose from the pump to the inlet end of the Inline Screen. The arrows on the body indicate the water flow direction. Then connect the second discharge hose to the outlet end of the Inline Screen, using additional hose as required to connect to the equipment you are running.

The minimum amount of water needed for this 14 inch trommel is 145 gallons per minute, but the manufacturer recommends 190 so that you can adjust the flow down to your liking using the shut off valve on the trommel (water pump and hoses not included). A benefit of using a helix trommel is that the heavy material is brought up and out the top as opposed to possibly being washed away. This patented (D31, 900) Gold Trommel is heavy duty, easy to maneuver, user-friendly (detailed owner's manual included) and can process 25-30 five gallon buckets in 1.5 hours!  Details include:
