ecologics – gravity concentrator

ecologics gravity concentrator in actionecologics' gravity concentrator (separator) and high capacity step action pump represent a unique tandem development for small scale mining.

  • Zero operating cost
  • Simple set up and operation
  • Fully portable (total weight with pump 17 kg)
  • Two person operation
  • Optional carry harness
  • Operating range - gold to 150 mesh size (0.01 mm)
  • Eliminates need for mercury use - simply pan the concentrate or collect and process at a central point.

 
ecologics step action pump and gravity concentrator in actionAlthough designed primarily for the recovery of alluvial (placer) gold, a range of mediums, including crushed ore, may be successfully processed.

Efficiency is enhanced by the pulsing nature of the water supplied by the step action water pump.

Independently conducted tests confirmed only 0.2% return to tailings in a number of field trials involving fine alluvial (placer) gold.

Designed primarily for gold extraction, the ecologics gravity concentrator will recover other heavy minerals having a high specific gravity differential from the host material.

Processing rates of over 5 tonne per day are achievable with free river-type shingle/sand/pebble mixtures. Heavier clays and fibrous materials such as grasses process less quickly.

ecologics gravity separator in useThe ecologics high capacity step action water pump delivers water at a comfortable operator pace - see the step action water pump specifications.

Silt laden water may be recycled where water supply is limited.

The ecologics gravity concentrator is a highly efficient gold recovery tool, elevating recoveries and increasing returns to the miner. Developed specifically for the needs of small scale miners in developing economies, the ecologics gravity concentrator is an equally effective tool for the hobby prospecting fraternity in more developed countries.
