The Camel Mining Mountain Goat Trommel is a reverse-helix gold trommel that classifies, washes, and concentrates gold-bearing material in one continuous operation. Feed raw dirt and gravel in one end; the rotating drum's reverse spiral traps gold and heavy concentrates while washing lighter waste out the other side.
One-Person Gold Processing Power
The Mountain Goat is famous among small-scale prospectors because it lets one person process a large volume of pay dirt without shoveling into a sluice and re-shoveling tailings. The reverse-helix design continuously pulls heavies back toward the recovery end, so gold stays in the machine while waste material self-discharges. It runs on a 12-volt battery and a small pump, weighs little enough to pack into remote sites, and pairs perfectly with the Desert Fox wheel for final cleanup — the combination sold as our Small Miners Bundle.
Key Features
Reverse-helix drum continuously concentrates heavies with no riffles to clog. Continuous feed operation — no stopping to clear tailings. 12V battery powered with low water requirements for remote use. Lightweight and portable for one-person operation. Made in the USA by Camel Mining Products.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a reverse-helix trommel work?
As the drum rotates, an internal spiral moves heavy material (gold, black sand) backward toward the recovery cup while water flushes light waste forward and out — separation happens continuously as you feed.
How much material can the Mountain Goat process?
A single operator can comfortably run several hundred pounds of classified material per hour, far beyond what a hand sluice and pan workflow allows.
What do I need to run it?
A 12-volt battery and a small water pump. Pair it with a Desert Fox or Pro-Camel wheel to finish your concentrates automatically.
