Keene Dry Washer 151

Keene Dry Washer 151 – The Industry Leader for Over Five Decades

For more than 50 years, the Keene Dry Washer 151 has set the standard as the world’s leading dry washer, trusted by professional prospectors worldwide. Though it has now been surpassed by our New Model 190 Series, the 151 still remains an essential tool for gold recovery in dry conditions. The Keene Dry Washer 151 continues to be the benchmark in gold prospecting equipment due to its advanced features and high-performance capabilities.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Gold Recovery

The Keene Dry Washer 151 has evolved over the years, incorporating many innovative technologies from our Model 190 series, making it more efficient and user-friendly. These cutting-edge improvements include:

• Soft Bed Technology: This new feature improves the electrostatic charge on the recovery bed, enhancing the machine’s ability to capture gold more efficiently. The “soft bed” creates a smoother flow for materials, resulting in higher gold recovery rates.

• Scrubbing Pins: Located on the recovery tray, the scrubbing pins play a critical role in the early separation of gold from other materials. By ensuring an even and controlled flow before entering the recovery tray, it allows for more effective gold extraction.

• Preheated Air System: The Keene Dry Washer 151 is equipped with a unique preheated air system, which raises the air temperature up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit above ambient temperature. This feature assists in drying damp material, which is particularly useful in areas with higher humidity or when processing wet soils.

• New Improved Vibrator System: The upgraded vibrator system produces greater vibration at lower engine speeds, allowing for better efficiency in gold recovery. By working at lower speeds, this system helps maximize gold production without consuming unnecessary power.

• Blast Gate Technology: The addition of Blast Gate Technology allows for infinite adjustments to both vibration and air pressure within the recovery container. This customization ensures that the machine can adapt to different soil types and environmental conditions, providing more precise control over the separation process.

• Vibration Transfer Brackets: The folding support legs now feature Vibration Transfer Brackets, which transfer energy directly to the hopper. This feature improves the classification process, ensuring more efficient sorting and a smoother flow of material into the recovery tray.

• Enlarged Hopper: The Keene Dry Washer 151 comes with an enlarged hopper, designed to handle larger volumes of material. The hopper’s steeper sides prevent any buildup of material, ensuring a continuous and efficient flow throughout the entire recovery process.

Durable Design and User-Friendly Features

The Keene Dry Washer 151 is built for durability and ease of use. The folding support legs make for a quick and simple setup, while the machine’s lightweight design ensures it can be easily transported to your prospecting site. The Vibration Transfer Brackets make assembly and operation hassle-free by improving material flow and reducing unnecessary vibration during operation.

The unit includes 10 feet of heavy-duty 4-inch ducting hose, which provides ample length for flexibility when positioning the machine. The durable vinyl hose is designed to withstand the rigors of fieldwork, ensuring that you can work for extended periods without worrying about hose wear or damage.

Engine and Blower Specifications
