Looks like they may be on a winner ..
Seems simple enough to set up and use...
For the dry areas of Australia...
Thanks for posting ....

Cheers Nanjim

OK.... now where did I put my electric concrete mixer... very interesting engineering.. :)
 
I have seen converted cement mixers that do the same thing, Cant remember, i think it was on the forum early days?

Outback had a couple a pics and descriptions, nice build I'm sure the price tag would put a few off, I look at bankers and start coughing and spluttering on my coffee.
 
That would be right .... I build my own Dry Blower and now this thing is shown to me ....back to the drawing board :p

Cheers
 
Very clever !
Would be good for gems also. Would like to see it in the field.
It seems to be a modified cement mixer classifier with a reverse gear for waste material. If it captures fine gold, then I would say it is a quantum leap in dry processing. :)
 
Heard about a few dry blowers. Never watched one most people wont allow you to get close enough to see. I like my privacy too.

Hey Panda,

Check out the DIY builds section, there are a few dry blowers in there that members have built for you to look at and a few vids in the members youtube video section too

Cheers

Wonder how it would go on the smaller stuff, the nuts they had were 1-2 grammars!

Looks good though, also a water attachment would be cool

Yes would be very interested to see how it works on the small gold,
it would also be good, for Queensland, where dry blowers are not classified as hand tools
this is a great idea
would be very interested to see how it would work with wet!
 
Looks great. .. dont know how easy it would be to move around...
would love to give it a go but :D
