Derocker

The DEROCKER is ideal for alluvial mining in areas with large boulders, and can easily handle light to moderate clay with an optional high-pressure spray system. It delivers a -2" product to downstream recovery and discharges clean washed +2" rock and boulder separately.

Key Features

Automatic, spring loaded feeder
Self-cleaning Grizzly Bars
All rocks washed thoroughly

The DEROCKER was developed in Canada’s historic Yukon Territory by a professional Placer Miner to overcome the problems of plugged grizzlies and effectively washing course rocks, boulders and gravel to liberate and retain the particles of gold.

The DEROCKER easily handles angular and slab shaped materials or boulders up to 4 feet in diameter. Unlike other systems, the greater the percentage of larger rocks and boulders, the greater yardage the DEROCKER will process.

As the subframe moves back and forth , the deck (grey chain) undulates, causing the material to move down the deck with the 2" minus dropping through the grizzly bars (not shown) and out the bottom to the gold recovery system, leaving the washed coarser material on the top of the deck to be discharged.

There are a variety of loading decks, spray systems and product sizing options available for the DEROCKER customized to your specific mining needs.

With the DEROCKER set on a eleven degree slope, the material to be processed is loaded into a surge pile in the upper end of the machine where a built-in Spring-Loaded Feeder evens the material flow across the deck while the loader cycles to the pit for more material.

The gold bearing boulders and gravels are moved across the self-cleaning grizzly bars in a wave action while being washed by high pressure from the water manifold. The coarse, rocky material is discarded from the lower end of the DEROCKER where it can be easily removed.

The 2" minus fines wash through the slots between the grizzly bars and are carried out the bottom to suitable gold recovery equipment (Centrifuges, Circular Jigs and Sluices, available from RMS) by the process water. The total water requirement of the system is relatively low as the sluice uses the same water that is used to wash the boulders.
