4" MOUNTAIN GOAT PORTABLE TROMMEL

THIS IS A SMALL VERSION OF THE REVERSE HELIX TROMMELS USED BY MAJOR PLACER MINING COMPANIES. DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH THE GRAVEL PIT TROMMELS WHICH ARE SCREEN TYPE CLASSIFIERS, NOT ARCHIMEDES MINING TROMMELS.

The Mountain Goat can eat as much as two yards of placer gravel and spit out as little as ten pounds of concentrates in only 8 hours. It is light enough (20 lbs.) to tote up a mountain by one person. It runs on 12-volt battery power and can be set up to re-circulate as little as 5 gallons of water. (750 G.P.H. pump is included)

Weighing less than 20 pounds,  the goat can be carried up a mountain by one person.  A 17-amp 12-volt battery (Battery NOT included) will power the trommel and its pump for more than eight hours.

This machine has reverse helix spirals built into the trommel barrel. As the barrel turns your concentrates are washed and pushed forward into the tray which hangs on the front of the machine beneath the hopper. Only the "heavies" end up in the tray. Because the spirals turn, the barrel is self-cleaning and there is no need to break down for cleanup like you do with a sluice box or high banker. This feature alone will double your production compared other types of machines.
