[QUOTE="Ryan27, post: 96001, member: 1074"] Hi Lee A conveyor is probably going to cause a couple of issues. A lot of moving parts = more general maintenance, not necessary a bad thing, I kind of like playing with bits and pieces. The main concern is retention of heat to dry the soil out. A screw conveyor can be enclosed. I thought maybe lighting a small fire under conveyor would be a cheap way to heat chamber.(it would have to be steel not HDPE. The overall weight shouldn't be too bad if the unit has wheels. I would rather process on site than cart material to a water source. Recycling systems have their own challenges also. Belt conveyors are good for managing tailings and transporting material greater distances. I'm not sure if the screw conveyor will handle larger practical size eg: 25mm to 50mm minus rock. I will have to make some enquiries. [/QUOTE]
