[QUOTE="Gregupnorth, post: 578481, member: 3082"] Hi Mrjunkalot What you have written is very interesting as your the first to say you are using one with good success. When you stop and think about how they work to keep a fluid bed is quite a good idea and should work. The idea of a spinning flexible cone with riffles with rollers would make a pulsating effect thus keeping the bottom of the riffle fluid and not pack up . The knelson, falcon and icon Concentrators use a method by having a water jacket behind the cone and through small holes inject water to make a counter pressure against the g forces on the spinning cone creating a fluid bed and stopping the riffles packing up. The Knelson ect new are more them five times the price of a flexicone and the flexicone claims to have a better finer gold recovery rate. So thats why I asked if anyone has used one as I could not get much information from the dealer that sells them. It would be good to see if anyone is using one on a commercial wash plant . Cheers Greg :cool: [/QUOTE]
