Why does the Piglet out perform others on the market?
A few things to think about….
It’s true that the Piglet mini makes other “minis” feel like toys. That’s because over the years we have evolved it and design it to perform like a full size piece of mining equipment. We have worked with commercial ops from all over the world and have incorporated some of the best design and function into it. One KEY function is the header box washing system.
HEADER BOX ACTION…
Most minis have the water enter via spray bars or the water enters near the TOP of the header box. This FAILS to create a good washing and mixing action. The Piglet has the water BLAST from the BOTTOM UP. This creates our unique destruction chamber which pounds rocks and dirt. Turning it into a slurry faster than any other unit in the market today.
ALMOST NO CLASSIFYING…
Moving more VOLUME efficiently is one key to gold mining. With our new header design, you can pretty much just shovel paydirt directly into the box. It will handle large rocks up to roughly 3-4″. Most minis can’t touch that. With MOST minis you have to classify to 1/2″ or even 1/8″. This is a SLOW process that kills your production rates. Not with the Piglet.
WATER CONTROL & PROCESSING…
Let’s face it, 36″ is a short sluice when it comes to mining. You have to have a system that is VERY efficient. Our “flexible pooling flap” deadens the water which is screaming at a high velocity from the header into the top of the sluice. This “deadening pool” gets the slurry into a manageable flow VERY quickly. it also creates a small fluid bed which is great for catching gold as well.
MIXED MATTING…
The mix of GoldHog mats allows for gold of all sizes to be exposed to varying capture zones. If certain gold doesn’t like one type of matting, it will find another it does.
