Built a 5 bank dryblower using 5 Keene boxes

Was wondering what type of blowers would push enough velocity and or CFM to effectively move dirt off of the trays>?

Sorry double posted by accident, mod please remove one , thank you.

are they 151 boxes? if so Keene runs with 2000cfm.. so 5x2000=10k cfm but that is just from a desk.

Yes the Keene blowers are rated at 2000 cfm going full throttle running it full you will kick up a dust storm and lose gold. Running it much lower reduces the cfm and I found that using a quality bounce house blower rated at 1600 cfm runs the box just fine, in fact 800 cfm is adequate. Of course material, feed speed has a factor in the equation.

Hey mate curious to know if you ever got your built and what you used for blowers to run multiple trays. I’m gearing up to build one with 3 or 4 banks that I will feed with my dingo mini loader.
Any info you like to share on your build would be much appreciated
Cheers Tonka
