Keene's New Gold Concentrating Wheel 25" first field test

Keene Engineering has been working on a new Professional gold wheel for over a year. We had a chance to take the new wheel out to the desert up in Mojave desert in Southern Ca. Fred was up using a 151 dry washer and we ran his concentrates. As you can see the wheel worked fantastic. We panned all the tailings and All I saw was two small pin head size pieces. Fred found over 2.5 pennyweights. That would be about 99% recovery of visible gold. We are also taking the machine a few steps further. It is powered by a powerful gear drive motor that drives the ring gear type drive. We are going to be using the gear drive motor to power some upcoming accessories. One of these accessaries is a power Auto feeding system. The legs also slide back into the body of the wheel. The bowl runs on a 13 bearings. Keene is very please with its up coming possibilities and looks forward to assisting its customers with this new innovation soon to hit the market. Happy prospecting. Thank you, Mark Keene
