I first started mining in Revelstoke, when I met Ray I bought a model 50 and used it for 2.5 years and couldn't believe how fast we processed the bench I had permitted up at the top of the mountain. The Nor-Tec machines are significantly easier to do cleanups with. You don't have to run for 20-40 hours or do timely labor intensive cleanup before you know if the ground has viable gold. Testing is a breeze being able to run 120 yards in about 30-40 minutes and just having to pan one simple pan down to figure out exactly what that ground is paying.

After decades of mining and using every type of conventional wash plant, nothing comes close to the speed and ease of cleanup In a large Reverse Helix. Within five minutes, I can clean my box check my values, and tell if I am still on the pay streak.

Johnny Willis

Worked with these machines for 10 years. By far the most efficient placer gold wash plant available. This machine was able to catch super fine gold. Daily cleanup is really fast and easy, also making it really good for spot testing. Would 100% recommend to anyone from seasoned gold miners to new enthusiasts.

I've known Ray for about 8 years now. I'm happy to know him. He has developed one of the best gold washing plants around! I've had the pleasure to learn his ways of prospecting by building his wash plants.

Spent a few months loading these machines and I enjoyed it, and they work great. Once you get into a good groove and get adjusted to what kind of material it likes, you can hammer the dirt through it. Stay on top of maintenance and it will get you your gold. Job well done Ray.

Built & Worked on these machines, proven to work!

I have used 3 different sizes of Nor-Tec wash plant over the last 15 years and all I can say is that there isn't another plant like it. It washes and scalps any kind of rock or material with little to no jams, feeds the sluice box with zero surging, and catches sizes and grades of gold that others told me didn't exist on my ground. It has such easy clean ups that I sold all my clean up gear and just use a bucket and a gold pan now. Using anything else would just be throwing money away.
