Meet the Gold Hog Sluice Box Mats

EPDM Rubber Mats: Heavy, flexible, excellent heat, ozone and weather resistance. Can perform from 200 degrees to -20 degrees. Expected life span is 5+ years in standard sluicing operations, and 1-2 years in large commercial mining operations.
Weight is approximately 1 pound per foot.  

Wild Boar (Scrubber Mat) -
Primary gold capture matting, low turbulence, "Riffle-Less".
 

(This is the WORK HORSE of your sluice box.)

The Wild Boar mat (Patent Pending) is a low turbulence, but aggressive scrubbing mat. It is design to be used anywhere in the sluice box but works very well "up top" and helps break up clay and dirt releasing gold and heavy metals.
Made from extruded EPDM rubber, the mat is heavy, durable, and can withstand commercial sluice boxes in all temperature zones.
The mat is sold in 36" widths and the length, as seen above, is approximately 6". The "Water Flow Locking Connectors", male and female on each end can be glued, or taped to form a solid sluice mat. (See SCRUBBER VIDEO)

Let’s explain how we do this and each function of the mat.

(Get ready for your head to hurt.)

Yes, we used every part of the mat to serve a purpose.
A- Small “V” grooves slightly slow down very heaviest of material before the lifting phase.  Prevents “launching them” into the upper layers. 

B- Gentle lift ramp. Not a sharp riffle or edge. This allows us to gently lift bottom material slightly without “throwing it” upwards.

C- Leveling ramp. Allows the heavies to now be traveling straight down the bed, vs. traveling upwards. Kind of like driving off a cliff vs. using a RAMP to jump a row of trucks.  (That’s scientific redneck stuff.) 

D and E- Combination of gravity drop ledge and gentle vortex.  Gold will immediately fall downward, and a gentle vortex will assist the heaviest materials downward.  The “V” grooves allow open cleaning to remove light material.  Gold now sitting on these grooves, is no longer in the “full current” of the water flow. 

F- Miniature riffles. These mini riffles help catch finer gold particles that didn’t make the “fall” of the first ramp. They are pulled downward and stored in the wash holes.

g- Settling steps. These reverse angled steps once again settle material allowing gold to hold and fall into settle gaps.  

Little Hog (UR Mat) -
Under riffle, expanded metal, finishing, dynamic matting.

The Little Hog mat (Patent Pending) is a multi-function sluice mat. It is designed to be an under riffle, under expanded metal, sluice mat, but also works FANTASTICALLY on its own as a sluice mat or finishing mat for concentrates.
Made from extruded EPDM rubber, the mat is heavy, durable, and can withstand commercial sluice boxes in all temperature zones.
The mat is sold in 36" widths and the length, as seen above, is approximately 6". The "Water Flow Locking Connectors", male and female on each end can be glued, or taped to form a solid sluice mat.
