HydroCon
HydroCon the patent pending gravity water column gold concentrator.
HydroCon is a patent pending gravity water column gold concentrator.
HydroCon is a new material concentrator. It is a gravity water column concentrator that is big enough to match the capacity of a highbanker but only cost 1/8th as much! HydroCon requires a pump that can deliver about 60 GPM of water. The HydroCon works with water volume more than water pressure so even low cost electric pumps, even sump-pumps can be used to provide the water. Hook up your pump and start shoveling in the dirt, HydroCon will sort the material and work all the material you put in it down to about a third of a bucket of concentrates. Clean up takes only seconds so you spend your time concentrating rather than cleaning up. Your concentrates are ready to be panned for gold!
HydroCon is a five gallon gravity column concentrator that is big enough to feed with a shovel and it can take the material as fast as you can shovel it in. HydroCon's funnel pipe takes the shoveled in material down to the base of the bucket. This is where a nozzle is located and the turbulent water currents from the nozzle break up the material down to particles. The lightest of these go with the flow up and out of the bucket while the heavier materials form a fluidized column within the bucket. The particles in this column are in constant motion as the water squeezes past them on its way up. Gravity sorts the material so that the heaviest are at the base of the column and the lightest particles work to the top. When more material is added to the bucket via the funnel pipe the lightest material at the top is lifted and it spills over the edge. The newly added material then sorts and finds its place in the gravity column with the lightest material being washed out of the bucket by the constant flow of water.
