The 6" x 42" Double Mat Transformer Sluice: Your High-Performance Gold Recovery System
One sluice body. Three ways to run it. The 6" x 42" Transformer Sluice is a lightweight aluminum sluice box built around the Micro-Dredge / Mini-Dredge mat combo, and it's designed to convert into a full highbanker, a power recirculatory, or a packable creek setup depending on which kit you choose.
Why One Sluice Body Instead of Separate Gear
Most prospectors end up buying a sluice, then a highbanker, then a cleanup system — three separate purchases for three separate jobs. The Transformer System starts you off with the 6" x 42" sluice body and lets you add components as your setup grows, so the same core unit can handle creek runs, bank-run material, and concentrate cleanup.

What's the Same Across Every Kit
-
6" x 42" Double Mat Sluice Body — rigid, lightweight .05" thick aluminum construction
-
Micro-Dredge Mat — over 2x holding capacity with a fast vortex, good as an indicator or finishing mat
-
Mini-Dredge Mat — built for heavy loads and higher flow, forgiving on pitch and flow adjustments
-
Fully modular design — swap or add components any time as your setup changes
The dual-mat combination is built for highbanker-level flow rates while keeping your concentrate pile small, so cleanup takes less time.
