Description

48" Highbanker with Hopper Dredge BoxSometimes also called a power sluice, a highbanker is a very flexible piece of equipment when you're mining in areas with a good amount of water. This highbanker setup includes a sluice box with adjustable legs and a hopper box. Made in the USA! Sluice and Stand: 10" wide x 48" long x 3" high is made out of strong . 080 gauge 5052 aircraft aluminum, which is light weight, plus aluminum makes it easier to use a magnet to remove the black sand build up.

Sometimes also called a power sluice, a highbanker is a very flexible piece of equipment when you're mining in areas with a good amount of water. This highbanker setup includes a sluice box with adjustable legs and a hopper box. Made in the USA!

Sluice and Stand:  10" wide x 48" long x 3" high is made out of strong .080 gauge 5052 aircraft aluminum, which is light weight, plus aluminum makes it easier to use a magnet to remove the black sand build up. Aluminum riffle cage and box will stand up to many years of use! The unique elongated 45 degree  z-riffles are great for trapping gold. In the bottom of the sluice is 12 inches of black matting for fast gold ID, followed by 36 inches of miner's carpet. Expanded metal riffles helps keeps the gold in the box and prevents the rocks from knocking it loose. Sluice stand has 18" high legs.

Hopper Dredge Box: Aluminum hopper box is 14" x 14" x 10" deep and has a 2" dredge inlet, a spray bar with built-in adjustable water flow and pressure port controls. The Grizzly Bars are spaced approximately 1" apart to help screen off larger rocks and oversized material. For best efficiency, we recommend classifying material to approximately 1/4" to 1/2" max before running it through the highbanker. Material up to around 3/4" may be processed, but larger material will generally run slower. When working with finer gold, more consistent classification, slower feeding, and controlled water flow can help improve recovery.

Does NOT include hoses, adapters, clamps, or pump.

Using Normcore Tamper
Size: 53.3mm Flat Base
This tamper is very easy to use and has a perfect weight thanks to the stainless steel build. It evenly tamps the espresso puck, and the 53.3mm fit works flawlessly with my Breville Espresso machine. The puck prep I’m able to achieve has noticeably improved the taste of my espresso. The sleek design is modern, durable, and looks great on my coffee bar.

It's what'd you would expect
Size: 58.5mm Flat Base
I work in espresso professionally and got this as a tester for ergonomic purposes. It does its job as a tamper and does level with little dusting from it being 58.5mm. The self leveling does work. However depending on my baskets (using vst now) it will.self level where the lowest part of the puck is handle side and highest.part opposite. Not an issue with the tamp but something to be mindful of. Works perfectly well on my gaggia setup...not so much commercial grade. The spring is adequate but i tend to tamp a bit harder on heavy weather days.. Build quality is fine but i would have rather used a regular style tamper. Also palm tampers pretty much need to be self leveling based on the ergonomic nature.

Solidly constructed and has a premium, hefty weight
Size: 58.5mm
Works exactly as described. Can be a bit heavy but otherwise it is a premium built product. If you have too much coffee in your basket and they're near the rim of it, coffee can get stuck to the sides of the distributor. A little annoying but easily remedied by brushing the grounds back into the basket or by "flattening" the coffee grounds in the basket first prior to distributing.

Would purchase again
Size: 58.5mm Flat Base
Fits my Gemilai portafilter perfectly. Works as expected, but can be slightly unlevel in tamping. Has a tendency to push the coffee down more on the handle side of the basket. I try to make sure I apply pressure in the middle of the tamper and it seems to make all the difference.
