PROSPECTOR’S DREAM- SWITCHBACK CLEAN UP SLUICE KIT

PROSPECTOR’S DREAM- SWITCHBACK CLEAN UP SLUICE KIT. THIS ITEM IS THE MICRO DREDGE MAT VERSION.

Upgrade your gold mining setup with the Switchback Clean-Up Sluice, the superior successor to the famous Boss Sluice. Engineered for the serious prospector who demands perfection, the Switchback is a complete, recirculating cleanup system designed to capture the finest flour gold that other systems miss.

By combining two distinct capture zones—a 4″ x 16″ No Flare Sluice and a 6″ x 12″ Sluice Mat—this system offers an extended recovery path, ensuring that your concentrates are processed thoroughly. Whether you are processing bank-run material or refining heavy concentrates, the Switchback gives you total control over your water flow and classification.

Why Choose the Switchback?

• Dual-Mat Technology: This kit integrates two Dream Mat products into one streamlined system. The primary 4×16 stage handles the initial feed, while the secondary 6×12 stage (a custom cut-down version of our 6×16 mat) acts as the ultimate catch-all safety zone. Lower mat widens 2″ to slow that impossible gold down to settle out for recovery.
• Precision Classification: Includes a standard 1/16″ screening grate, allowing you to classify material instantly as it enters the header box.
• Total Flow Control: Powered by a high-output 750 GPH 12V Pump, coupled with a Variable Flow Valve. You can dial in the water speed to the perfect “sweet spot” for your specific mat profile.
• De-Mag Ready: Designed with future expansion in mind, the Switchback features future options for attaching a Lorentz force lifting tool to further purify your final cleanup.
• The Micro-Dredge profile is designed to handle increased feed rates. With over 2x the holding capacity of previous designs, the hydro-cyclone vortex cells spin material aggressively, locking gold deep into the mat while ejecting waste. It allows you to power through concentrates without fear of clogging.
• Every Switchback Clean-Up Sluice comes ready to run with the following components:
  • Sluice Configuration: 4×16 No Flare Sluice Box + 6×12 Sluice Mat.
  • Header Box: Custom-designed with a 1/16″ screening grate for integrated classification.
  • Water System: 750 GPH Pump (12V) with alligator clips for easy battery connection.
  • Flow Control: Variable Flow Valve to fine-tune water velocity.
  • Plumbing: Three foot 3/4″ bilge hose and fittings included.
