[QUOTE="Ryan27, post: 95970, member: 1074"] I have always been told that dry blowers don't work very well on the eastern side. This is due to moisture content of the soil, particularly the top 6" to 8". They have always sold well in W.A. Though this is my thought's about W.A. The night air is bloody cold and has a high moisture content. So the best time to work the W.A. Gold fields is when? You guessed it early morning while the moisture is still present in the soil. Later during the day when it's friggen hot and you cant work the mullock heaps, is the best time to dry wash. So you are losing fine gold no matter how hard you try. I have had this heat exchange idea floating around my head for some time, trying to work out the most cost efficient way to produce and retain the heat is a challenge, especially when you are trying to incorporate light weight transportable prospecting equipment into the design intent. Now that I have seen first hand that these dry blowers are recovering good gold, I feel that the dry blower needs to be considered as a serious and possibly primary recovery machine ? You guys have certainly got my attention and I will be sourcing a reduction motor and gearbox this week to begin prototyping. Cheers Ryan [/QUOTE]
