The Variable Speed Desert Fox is a compact, light-weight automatic gold panning machine you can take anywhere. Includes 1 heavy duty, zippered, 20 oz cotton canvas tool bag with handles to organize those small items that every gold miner uses -- snuffer bottles, tweezers, vials, etc. Tool bag is 12.5 inches long x 7 inches tall (accessories shown with bag are NOT included; bag ships separately from machine; bag color varies - you may receive either a tan, gray, red, plum, or olive drab tool bag).
Desert Fox automatic spiral gold panning machine with rugged folding stand weighs under 10 pounds. Folds up and stores neatly in its Action Packer tub. Operate it right out of the tub, or remove it from the case and use it in a stream. The Desert Fox spiral wheel has 7 separate spirals which pick up GOLD 7 times with each rotation of the wheel (105 times per minute). The 7 spirals dump gold into the tube-shaft and into a hanging gold catch-cup. The Desert Fox's pitch adjustment and water spray system help you “tune out” the black sand.
This variable speed Desert Fox is aptly named because it was designed to conserve water and will operate on just 3 gallons. It sets up quickly and easily and can run 70 lbs of concentrates in an hour-- it's both a separator and a concentrator in one self-contained panning machine. Recovers an amazing amount of flour gold so you never lose even the smallest pieces. Operates on any 12-volt automotive battery or even a 35 watt solar panel (NOT included).
Recommended mesh size of material you feed into the machine is 10 mesh for best results. Set the wheel at a convenient angle between 30 and 45 degrees. Feed in a little 10 mesh material once water is running on the wheel. If the black sand is getting in the hole, make the wheel pitch a little steeper. If the black sand is way down on the face of the wheel, do the opposite.Quick and simple set up: First take everything out of the Action Packer Tub (case), then spread out the stand legs and place them back into the case, and secure them with wing nuts (included). Then drop the wheel into the slot and secure the spray bar to the front of the drive unit and tighten its wing nut and hang the collection cup in place. You’re now ready to go! Fill the case with enough water to at least cover the pump (about two-thirds full). Hook up your battery cables to your power supply and turn it on and start getting that GOLD! Ships with an owner's manual.
