This is one of my favorite highbankers! It is capable of processing with up to 4 people shoveling into it or even handles a small backhoe. You can stack your pump, hoses and tools on top of the riffle box and wheel it right in to your mining site like a wheelbarrow. This unit is heading to Alaska on one of our projects.

That is a nice one. I have always thought the Honcoop machines were well thought out as well. I think the one thing everyone misses is separation of the +1/8 material from the -1/8 and that's where the largest amount of fines runs. Larger material bounces out the smaller fines. I just don't see anyway to do it though without some sort of mechanical brush keeping the 1/8 screen clean. Plus the horrendous amount of water and settling space. Keep us posted on how it does. Would be interesting to run a drop riffle safety sluice off the end of that lower one for a while just to check up on the extra fine loss.
