Avimetal’s Electrostatic Dry Washer Concentrator is a waterless gold recovery system designed for arid and remote mining environments. It combines vibratory screening with 40,000–60,000V electrostatic separation to capture fine and micron-sized gold particles without using water. The system features a dual-layer screen design, low power consumption, compact modular construction, and scalable models including AVES-1000, AVES-1200, and AVES-1600, with capacities ranging from 0.5 to 5 tons per hour for prospecting through commercial gold processing.
Electrostatic Dry Washer Concentrator
Waterless gold recovery with 99% efficiency — engineered for arid, remote, and water-restricted mining environments.
Core Technology
The AVES series combines two proven separation mechanisms into a single compact system optimized for dry environments.
High-Voltage Electrostatic Separation
A 40,000–60,000V generator charges and deflects gold particles from gangue material, achieving separation precision unattainable by gravity alone — especially for fine and micron-sized gold.
Dual-Layer Vibratory Screening
An upper perforated aluminum screen handles primary separation while a lower Indian Head cloth retains micron-sized particles and maintains airflow — maximizing recovery across the full particle-size range.
Compact Modular Construction
Each unit is engineered for rapid deployment in remote locations. Low power draw (2×1.9–2×3 KW), 380/480V 3-phase input, and a lightweight frame make setup and transport straightforward.
How It Works
Four stages from raw feed to concentrated gold — all without a drop of water.
Model Series
Three models scaled from prospecting to full commercial operations — all sharing the same core electrostatic technology.
AVES-1000
Ideal for small-scale operations and prospecting in arid environments. The most portable unit in the AVES lineup — compact enough for single-operator deployment.
AVES-1200
Expanded table area and increased throughput for growing operations. Balances performance and portability — the go-to choice for artisanal and semi-industrial miners.
AVES-1600
High-capacity flagship model built for large-scale commercial gold processing. Maximum throughput with the same proven electrostatic separation at the core.
Model Comparison
All models ship with 380/480V 3-phase power compatibility and the same dual-layer screen design.

Key Advantages
Purpose-built for environments where conventional wet processing is impossible or impractical.
Zero Water Dependency
Fully dry operation makes the AVES series deployable in desert regions, water-restricted jurisdictions, and off-grid remote sites where wet mills simply can't operate.
Low Power Consumption
Despite generating 40,000–60,000V electrostatic fields, the AVES system draws only 3.8–6 KW total — compatible with generator-powered off-grid setups.
Reduced Environmental Footprint
No water means no tailings ponds, no chemical runoff, and no water permitting — significantly lowering the environmental compliance burden at your site.
Portable & Rapidly Deployable
The compact modular frame can be transported by standard vehicle and set up in hours, not days — ideal for exploratory operations or mobile processing campaigns.
