In this video I build the DIY Mini Shaker Table and I demonstrate its use and measure the recovery rate with a real gold sample.
I've uploaded a Sketchup drawing (version 8) of the device so that you can make modifications to the table design and build your own. Here's the link to the drawing:
drive.google.com/file/d/1T3bl...
Download the drawing. Find Sketchup8 on the web and install it. Open the sketchup file (.skp) in the application.
Key words: DIY Gold Shaker Table, Build a Gold Shaker Table, Gold Prospecting, Gold Shaker Table, Gold Extraction, Gold Recovery.

@adammazza9219 Год назад

Really love the video! I get that the main deck has essentially a 1/4" inch rise but are there any other angles that need to be observed with the deck to make it function correctly?

@orophilia Год назад

Hi Adam. On this small table I used two steps, each about 1/8", in order to reject the lighter material as it flows toward the output ports. Sounds like you get that. Otherwise, the bed is flat. In use, I slope the bed downward toward the tailings drain by 1/4" per foot so that the water flows in a direction that's more or less perpendicular to the water bar. Take a look at my other video on the shaker table, called "Portable DIY Shaker Table..." -- Dave

@MohammedNovalija 2 года назад

I noticed you weren't shy in your feeding rate. I wonder if you slowed your feeding rate to half , would that have increased your gold recovery to 100% ? What adjustment or modification would have the biggest influence on the ratio of gold to black sands caught in Port 1 ? The aim would be to have pure gold in Port 1.

The commercial tables all seem to have V shaped grooves with a straight side on the "down" side and a "ramp" on the "up" side. Yours is flat bottomed "U". Comments about utility of the different groove shapes? Also.... where did you buy the rubber? Great vid -great design! You da' man!

@orophilia Год назад

Yeah, I've noticed the different groove designs. I tried a round bottom and a V-groove and neither worked well. Someday I may make a fixture for the router to try the "ramp" form. I don't see any problem with the rectangular groove but maybe the ramp groove works better. I buy 1/4" neoprene rubber sheets from Rubber Sheet Warehouse. Thanks for the comment. -- Dave

hi from sweden almost finished this table. one question; the waterpump, how many liter/min?

@orophilia 7 месяцев назад

Hi from Los Angeles! I used a 1100 gallon per hour (70 liters per minute) pump, but that is more than necessary.

@f5stwista Год назад

This videos helped me greatly, im probably at least 100 of your views….lol. That said I’m now in troubleshooting mode of trying to figure out why mine won’t throw the material properly (it’s not going over the first 1/9th inch step up. If I may ask, what are the width and length of the flexors?

@orophilia Год назад

Good morning. I worked with the machine for many hours before I understood how to get optimum performance from it. If the gold doesn't move past the first step in the table then you may need to increase the rate of shaking. I use a variable power supply voltage to adjust the speed. On my machine, the optimum peak to peak motion is 12 mm at a rate of between 5 and 7 cycles per second. The flexures are 1/16" thick, 2 inches wide and have a free span of 5 inches. Let us know how it goes! Thanks for the views. --Dave

Thinking about building two 12 x 36-in Shaker tables next to each other and then with a common feed system that way you could have a diamond water table. Thoughts?

@DWCStuff 6 месяцев назад

@@orophilia I actually caught and watched all those new videos that you just put out about your new Shaker table. Looks like your super close to getting it down to nothing but gold...

@orophilia 6 месяцев назад

@@DWCStuff The problem of gold concentration changes dramatically based on the size of the gold particles and the amount of other heavy minerals. It's very interesting to find the optimum tuning of the table for each set of conditions. For example, separating gold from black beach sand is totally different from separating gold from milled load ore. I'll be doing more demonstrations of this in the future. It's very hard to fully separate small gold particles from black beach sand. It's best done in two steps. -- Dave

@Bn3Collection Год назад

First of all, may I say this is a great piece of machinery in general and especially to have been done as a DIY project! 😍 I do have a question on the slope: it seems to me as though the table is pushing the gold up and not down - is this the case? Is it possible to draw some arrows just to point out the movement of the material from when when it’s added onto the table to when it goes down the drain? Thanks!

@orophilia Год назад

The motion of the table is along the grooves in the rubber mat and upward at an 18 degree angle, also in that direction, from left to right. This drives the gold and other heavy material into the water bar, which washes that material back toward the tailings trough, into the nearest groove and the process repeats until the heavy stuff arrives at the right edge of the table. Thanks for the question!

@user-jk2hv6mr6f 10 месяцев назад
