[QUOTE="TenOunce Tone, post: 74806, member: 288"] According to a few sites with info on these. The concept is for particles about 1mm and less to be fed in the wide end. The water deepens and creates a "duel layer" the lower water is slower than the top layer. As the water slows, the heavy particles drop first and the lightwr material fliats out the the top layer. The outflow is split with the heavies going out closer to the sluice. Some kind of angled plat takes the lighter material to waste while the heavies get directed to a catch container. Apparently used in mineral sands extraction. The longitudinal diagram shows how it works.. Cheers Tone [/QUOTE]
