I have a new 14" trommel for sale.
The drum is 355mm x 1300mm long and the frame overall is 1750 long x 1080 wide and the hopper is 950mm high.
The whole frame is tig welded and made out of aluminium to keep the weight down and the drum is steel.
It comes with a genuine honda engine and worm drive reduction gearbox turning the chain and sprockets.
Water is fed through a 40mm spray bar which runs through the length of the drum.
The sluice is 300mm x 1200mm long, it has ribbed rubber matting under nomad matting with expanded mesh.
This trommel will keep up with 2 blokes shoveling and 95% of the gold is caught in the 1st 300mm of the sluice.
$2500.00
Cheers
Dale

Hey Hardyakka, this things gives me goose bumps!!! I reckon if I had something like this in the areas where I like to go it would be like Viagra and I'd have a ballarat all day shovelling into it hahaha, it certainly looks like it was professionally put together, if you made it? is all I can say excellent job mate, well done..cheers

Love your work. Cheers Brew
 
G'day Brew,
Yes I will, just not for the next couple of months as I'm heading up north prospecting for the winter.

Feel free to send me an email if you would like one in the future.

Thomas if you haven't got a mining lease then you are carrying out illegal mining in NSW.

Probably not wise to have your name & area of this activity on a public forum. Trommels, unless on a mining lease, are also illegal in NSW. I know you say you are "setting up a gold mine" but even if you have a lease in place getting paydirt from nearby properties would also require a lease over those areas.
 
G'day dwt,

yeah still about mate, doing my best to get a few out on cycle breaks :)

Hi Dale

no offence mate but dont you use grizzlies on your feed chute ?

2 - 3 inch spacing maybe so 2 blokes really can shovel all day without stopping to remove rocks off their shovel that are too big to fit through the trommel drum ?

If you put a sheetmetal lip around the start of the drum it will stop water and grit from running into the drive chain and sprockets too . might be an improvement.

by the way , that mesh on the drum , is that aluminium expanded 07 profile or is it steel ?

Just asking coz it looks a bit light if you have rocks going through it over 16 - 20 mm in size , looks like it would deform pretty easily.

another thought , it looks like your 20 mm SHS sluice support legs have quite a tight tolerance with the support sleeve that they fit into , i tried that on some of my early gear and found that fine sand and grit makes them seize up , but having around 2 - 3 mm oversize on the sleeve allows the grit to wash out and i never had one jam up after that.

good luck with knocking things up mate , very enjoyable hobby.

by the way , i am not trying to take work off you , i have mining and civil clients that keep me busy enough in my manufacturing business.

There does seem to be alot of people knocking things up in their garage though and selling them off to people who dont have much experience and cant discern the difference between what works 70 % or 99.999 %.

You can catch coarse gold in any old piece of crapp , but catching the fine gold is where the toys get left behind by the pro gear.

cheers.
