Winner. Mate i had a similar experience the other day. I bought a 50mm post cap from the big boys toy store the other day, $3.95 for a piece of Chinese plastic. I needed a 25 x 50mm as well but they didn’t have any. Found a gate manufacturer and he gave me both No Charge, you bloody beauty! Returned the other. God Bless Good People. Mackka

What is your thinking with the very top section divider in the launder mate?

More corners/dead zones mate

OK. Be interesting to see how that works.
My initial thoughts are that it will fill up.
The workmanship is outstanding!!
Well done!

Cheers mate, remember it's allways prototyping, I've done it before with a single zone and all the material rotates out.
This time I've devided and aimed the feed with the pvc elbows feeding upsluice to hopefully create more of a boil.

I'm trying to achieve something simular in the hopper..
I can only see so far in my head, hydro physics is intense..

 

[Simmo]

I can't wait to see it in action!!

Looks fantastic mate but i just have one question, does the bottom sluice have an extension as it looks very short to me?

 

[Longfellow]

Yep me too.

It's 800mm long mate, the mini cell dream Matt are full length and are only really to catch what escapes from the hopper boiler and the sluice boilers
