[QUOTE="Guest, post: 222935"] Hi Jembaicumbene, I was more thinking along the lines of the feed hopper not connected to the sluice. Instead the feed hopper could built on a frame with springs (otherwise the things going to start skipping around all over the place) and mounted on four legs. The spray bars wash the gravels and the larger rocks and the rest then falls into the sluice. I wouldn't think you would need to be overly aggressive with the vibration as its only a small area, just enough to help the larger rocks vibrate off the grizzly bars. Do you think something like this may work? (I usually find that the idea usually sounds good in theory but in practice fails badly.) *I actually built a small vibrating machine to process the concentrates from my highbanker.
