Rotating drum: 14″ diameter/ 48″ long.
Sluice box: 48″ long, 14″ wide, 4.5″ tall


Both Trommels come with:

Transmission: 1 speed belt to chain drive.
Small garden hose with nozzle may also be attached to aid with the cleanup process.
Option on motor type: Gas 2.5 hp OHV horizontal, Electric 110V .5hp, or Electric 12V 1/8hp.

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 five 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 and get washed through the riffles.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 trough.

It’s heavy duty, easy to maneuver and can process 25-30 five gallon buckets in an hour and a half! Move more material, get more gold.

Hi Gregory,
Thanks for you comment. What size are you looking for?

james rufo February 3, 2011 at 6:09 pm

if a guy can run a ton and a half of material a day through the trommel by himself, how many times a day do you have to clean out the sluice under the trommel?

Reply

Summit Mining February 5, 2011 at 3:46 pm

Hi James,
Is your ton and a half of material around 30 buckets? We recommend running a 5 gallon bucket in 2-2.5 minutes, which would mean 30 buckets in around an hour. Now, the total amount of material in 30 buckets is going to depend on the type of material and how full you fill your buckets. But you should be able to run all 30 buckets without having to clean out the sluice box – just make sure that if you have a lot of black sand and garnets that you run the material a little slower so you don’t overload the riffles.

How much watter duz the 14 inch use

Reply

Summit Mining March 30, 2011 at 9:39 pm

Hi Clarence,
The minimum amount of water needed for the 14″ is 145 gallons per minute but we recommend 190 so you can adjust the flow down to your liking using the shut off value on the trommel. Hope that helps!

What is the difference in the gas, 110V electric and 12V electric proscessing time (mainly water usage) on your trommel? I have good water in a seasonal creek in the spring but rely on a number of 55 gallon barrels for water in the fall. I fill the barrels in the spring (DUH) and must use them economically in the fall. Using a small gas motor that supplies a garden hose supply to my current equipment, what would the economics be to get the most operating time from your trommel/sluice combination in the fall when I’m running off the stored water in the barrels? Gas, electric 110, or 12v). The motor and pump give me appx 25 min of run time (per 2 barrels 110 gal) with the trommel I have (gold-pro) no sluice but a double helix. My wife ask me what I want for Christmas….ooH, dangerous question, Give me a reason to spend over 2 grand on your machine or make it a retired veterans military discount so (she) I can afford one! The 110V I can run off a small generator)…Hoping for a REALLY GOOD Christmas present, Jim

admin November 7, 2011 at 4:34 pm

Hi James,
If I understand correctly you are storing 2 barrels totaling 110 gallons? If so, we’d really recommend storing twice that amount if possible in order to process a full run of 20-30 five gallon buckets (as long as it’s not dessert dry material.)

And…. the Pro Gold Trommel will be the Christmas Gift that keeps on giving! Image running in one day what you are taking a week to run in the reverse helix! :-)

Hi John,
The minimum recommendation is a 2” pump with a 5-6 HP gasoline engine capable of moving water at a rate of 145 gallons per minute (GPM) or more. Do you have something like this?

What type of motor do you use for the spinning of the trommel screen and how does it work, also is the water going threw the sluice all going through the trommel first or is there separate water supply. Tanks Kenny.

Reply

admin December 19, 2011 at 1:12 pm

Hi Kenny,
The trommel comes with Gas, Electric 110V 1/2hp or Electric 12V 1/8hp motor options.

The barrel is floating on 4 rollers and is driven by chain.

All the water is either introduced in the hopper or the barrel to wash the rocks, it then travels back to the top of the funnel, and drops into the top of the sluice box.

And, you only need one water source/pump.

I hope this answers your question, feel free to give us a call or email anytime.

Thanks!
Cherie

Is it possible to wash 1m3 per hour with Pro Gold Trommel 14″? And what price is for that from A-Z? What shipping costs to Vientiane, Laos?

Reply

admin January 23, 2012 at 3:26 pm

Hi Martins,
The 14″ will run 1.5 yards or around 2 tons of material per hour. The price is $4,000 and shipping to Laos is going to be between $1,500 and $2,000.

Hi Randy,
Both the 10″ & 14″ can be towed with a quad. The 14″ comes with the tow bar assembly, it can be added to the 10″ for $75. I would estimate shipping to Vancouver BC to be between $500 and $600.
