SYOGM Sluice Set of 3, Model 2024-NO22 - Highly Efficient Fine Gold Recovery Sluices

The SYOGM Sluice Set of 3 Model 2024-NO22 is a complete and highly efficient fine gold recovery system, delivered as a full set ready for operation with a classifier, feeder, spray bars, a nugget catcher, high-quality unbacked vinyl loop matting, and vortex matting. This system is expertly designed to recover a comprehensive range of gold sizes, including Coarse Gold (5-10 mm), Medium Fine Gold (1 mm to 5 mm), and Moderately Fine Gold (100 µm to 1 mm). With the integration of optional extra parts from the Cleangold system, its capabilities are significantly enhanced to captureVery Fine Gold from 10 µm to 100 µm and even Extremely Fine Gold down to 5 µm, a performance level proven by studies from the Department of Earth Sciences, Air, Water and Landscape Science at Uppsala University, Sweden.

Description of Parts of SYOGM Sluice Set of 3, Model 2024-NO22

The system comes with three sluices mounted on a single large sluice stand, designed for maximum efficiency and ease of use. The sluice stands are fully mobile, equipped with sturdy wheels that allow placement even in muddy or uneven terrain while remaining stable during operation. Each sluice features the SYOGM Simple Slope Adjustment, enabling operators to set the optimal angle within a minute for precise gold recovery. The entire sluice stand and all sluices are compact enough to fit into a 4–6 meter small truck, making the system highly mobile. For larger operations or exploration purposes, multiple sluice stands can be packed together, with up to six stands fitting in the same truck to create a complete SYOGM Advance Wash Plant configuration.

Ore Classifier or Grizzly Bars

An ore classifier is a simple tool used in gold mining to separate big rocks from smaller material before it goes into the gold recovery system. Imagine a big metal grate, like a strong grill made of thick iron bars (called grizzly bars) placed at the start of a sluice that processes about 10 tonnes of soil and gravel per hour. As the material is shoveled or fed onto the grizzly bars, the large stones stay on top and are pushed aside, while the smaller gravel, sand, and gold particles fall through the gaps between the bars. Only the fine material that can actually contain gold passes through to the sluice box, where gold is trapped and collected, while oversized rocks are discarded. This prevents blockages, keeps the sluice running smoothly, and makes gold recovery much more efficient.

Sluice Feeder

A sluice feeder is the part of a gold recovery setup that controls how soil, gravel, and water enter the sluice box. Its job is to make sure the material flows in a steady, even layer so that gold has the best chance to settle and get trapped in the riffles. If material is dumped too quickly or unevenly, gold can wash away instead of being caught. A sluice feeder can be as simple as a hopper with a gate or bars that spread out the material, or more advanced with vibrating or shaking motion to keep the feed consistent. On a sluice handling 10 tonnes per hour, the feeder regulates the input so the sluice doesn’t get overloaded and gold recovery stays efficient.

Spray Bars

Spray bars are pipes with small holes that spray water across the material being fed into a gold sluice or wash plant. Their purpose is to break up clumps of soil, wash off clay, and make sure the gravel and sand spread evenly so that the gold can separate properly. On a sluice handling 10 tonnes per hour, spray bars are mounted above the classifier or feeder, and they continuously wash the material as it passes through. This helps fine gold particles get freed from the dirt and ensures the sluice box receives a steady flow of clean, loosened material for better recovery.

Nugget Catcher

A nugget catcher is a simple device placed before or at the start of a sluice to trap large pieces of gold that might otherwise get lost in the flow of gravel and water. Since nuggets are heavier and bigger than fine particles, they can easily roll off or get pushed along without settling in the riffles. The nugget catcher usually consists of a short section with wider riffles, small gaps, or even a raised tray or bars that stop big gold pieces while still letting gravel and water pass through. On a sluice running 10 tonnes per hour, the nugget catcher ensures that any larger, valuable pieces of gold are caught right away before the finer separation happens downstream.

High-Quality Unbacked Vinyl Loop Matting

High-quality unbacked vinyl loop matting is a special type of miner’s mat placed inside a sluice box to trap gold of different sizes as water and material flow over it. Unlike flat carpets, this mat is made of tough, flexible vinyl strands that form a tangle of loops, creating countless tiny pockets where heavy gold can settle. Because it is unbacked, water can flow through freely, preventing clogging and making cleanup easier. In practice, the matting is excellent for catching coarse gold (5–10 mm), holding onto medium-fine gold (1–5 mm), and even securing moderately fine gold (100 µm to 1 mm). It works by creating turbulence in the water flow: light sand and gravel are washed away, while the heavy gold gets trapped in the loops until the sluice is cleaned out.

Vortex Matting for Moderately Fine Gold Recovery

Vortex matting is a specialized sluice mat designed with spiral or vortex-shaped patterns that create tiny whirlpools in the flowing water. These micro-vortexes slow down heavy particles and allow gold to drop and lodge in the mat while lighter sand and gravel are swept away. This type of matting is particularly effective for catching moderately fine gold (100 µm to 1 mm) and even very fine gold (10 µm to 100 µm), which often escape traditional riffles or carpets. By using vortex action, the mat keeps gold securely trapped until clean-up, making it an essential part of a recovery system focused on maximizing fine gold retention.

Optional Cleangold System for Very Fine Gold and Extremely Fine Gold Recovery

The optional Cleangold system is an add-on technology that can be integrated into a sluice setup to greatly improve the recovery of the smallest gold particles. Using a patented magnetic matting principle, it creates micro-trapping zones that hold fine, heavy particles while lighter material is washed away. When installed, it extends the recovery range beyond what standard riffles or mats can achieve, enabling the capture of very fine gold (10 µm to 100 µm) and even extremely fine gold down to 5 µm. This performance has been verified through scientific studies by the Department of Earth Sciences, Air, Water and Landscape Science at Uppsala University, Sweden, demonstrating its reliability for miners who want to maximize gold recovery at the finest scale.

SYOGM Fine Gold Recovery System

The fine gold recovery system is a completely mercury-free solution, designed to recover gold safely and efficiently using standard methods trusted by experienced North American prospectors. It includes concentrate upgrades (extra sluices can be added to boost recovery), classification of material, gold pans for medium and fine gold, and the special Cleangold system for capturing the tiniest flecks. Every system comes with full instructions and unavoidable technical support—yes, you can’t escape it! Operators provide their own buckets and other auxiliary tools, but don’t worry, this setup makes even muddy work feel like a gold-hunting adventure.

Water Pumps, Pipes, and Couplings

We include water pumps, pipes, and couplings only when requested by the client and specified after consultation. While the system can easily run on a simple 50 cubic meters per hour pump, we provide full equipment options for those who want a complete setup or customized flow rates. This ensures flexibility without unnecessary extras.
