What the Switchback Clean-Up Sluice Box Kit is built for

The Switchback Clean-Up Sluice Box Kit is designed for dedicated gold prospectors who need to process bank-run material and refine heavy concentrates with precision. Serving as a complete recirculating cleanup system, it improves upon previous designs to catch the extremely fine flour gold that often escapes standard setups. This system is ideal for indoor or covered use, giving you total control over water flow and classification during your final cleanup stages.

Why hunters choose it

• Dual-Mat Configuration: Integrates two distinct capture zones into one streamlined system, with a primary stage for initial feed and a wider secondary stage to slow down water and settle out fine gold.
• Precision Classification: Equipped with a built-in screening grate within the header box, enabling immediate classification of material as it is fed into the unit.
• Total Flow Control: Utilizes a high-output pump paired with a variable flow valve, giving you the ability to fine-tune the water velocity to match the ideal settling conditions for your chosen mat.
• Customizable Recovery Styles: Available in a high-speed edition for aggressive processing and increased holding capacity, or a high-precision edition for meticulous finishing and visual inspection.
• De-Mag Ready Design: Engineered to accommodate future upgrades, this system allows for the addition of magnetic separation tools to help remove black sands and purify your final concentrates.

How it works

This recirculating clean-up sluice operates by utilizing advanced fluid dynamics and hydro-cyclone vortex cells to separate heavy gold from lighter waste material. As the water and concentrates flow over the specialized urethane mats, the engineered cells create active vortices that aggressively spin the material, locking the dense gold deep into the mat while ejecting the lighter sands. The dual-stage design ensures an extended recovery path, while the variable flow valve allows you to adjust the water velocity to match the specific settling rate of your target gold, ensuring maximum retention of even the finest particles.
