Dry blower

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001893

A piece of mining equipment used to separate gold or other heavy minerals from dry, unconsolidated material, such as sand or gravel, without the use of water. It operates by using air currents and vibration to stratify the material, allowing the heavier particles to settle and be collected. Dry blowers are commonly employed in arid regions where water resources are scarce.
