6x12 Sluice Micro Mat - Dream Mat | Custom Clean-Up & Highbanker Upgrade
The Perfect Compact Footprint for High-Performance Recovery
Build your own custom gold recovery system or replace your existing matting with the 6" x 12" Dream Mat. Originally engineered as the dedicated secondary capture stage for our Switchback Clean-Up Sluice, this compact "cutdown" mat is now available as a standalone component for DIY prospectors and gear upgraders.
Measuring exactly 6 inches wide by 12 inches long, this mat fits perfectly into mini-highbankers, clean-up trays, and custom recirculation systems. It brings the scientifically proven fluid dynamics of Dream Mat to a compact form factor, ensuring you catch more gold in less space.
Choose Your Profile: Two Specialized Variants
Select the profile that best fits your water flow and processing style. Both variants utilize advanced Vortex Cell technology but are tuned for different stages of recovery.
Option 1: The Micro-Dredge Mat (High Speed & Volume)
Best For: Aggressive clean-ups, higher water flow, and faster feed rates.
-
Speed Meets Power: The Micro-Dredge profile is designed to handle increased feed rates, allowing you to process concentrates or bank-run material quickly without backing off the shovel.
-
Maximized Holding Capacity: Features a deeper profile with over 2x the holding capacity of standard micro mats. It locks gold in tight, allowing for longer run times between cleanouts.
-
Hydro-Cyclone Action: The cells create a powerful centrifuge effect, spinning heavy gold to the bottom while aggressively ejecting lighter waste.
Option 2: The Micro Mat (Precision & Finishing)
Best For: Fine gold finishing, low flow rates, and visual inspection.
-
The Ultimate Indicator: This mat is the gold standard for catching "flour gold." The fluid dynamics allow fine gold to settle instantly, making it an excellent indicator mat for checking your paydirt immediately.
-
Zero Migration: Unlike traditional ribbed mats where gold "dances" down the sluice, the Micro Mat locks fine particles in place. It offers extreme retention for difficult, flat, or flaky gold.
-
Gentle Recovery: Ideal for the final stage of a clean-up system where water flow is reduced to ensure zero loss.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Switchback Proven: This is the authentic matting used in our commercial Switchback Clean-Up Sluice system.
-
Universal Fit: The 6" width and 12" length make it a versatile component for almost any small-scale gold prospecting setup.
-
Scientific Design: Both profiles utilize Dream Mat’s patented physics to disrupt laminar flow and create capture zones that gravity traps simply cannot match.
-
Durable Material: Made from high-quality urethane designed to withstand the elements.
Specifications
-
Dimensions: 12" Long x 6" Wide
-
Material: Urethane
-
Compatibility: Fits 6" wide sluice boxes, highbankers, and clean-up kits.
Important Notes
-
Cosmetic Imperfections: Due to the complex manufacturing process of the tight profiles, small air bubbles may be present in the mat. Additionally, urethane color may fade over time due to UV exposure. These are purely cosmetic issues and do not affect the gold recovery performance or longevity of the mat.
-
Installation: This is a bare mat. You may need to use mat tape or a clamp system (not included) to secure it to your specific sluice box or miller table.
