The XP 15-inch Classifier #10mm is a mesh sifting screen built for gold prospectors working placer deposits and stream gravels. Prospectors running material through pans or sluice boxes use this classifier to remove rocks and debris larger than 10mm before processing finer concentrate. The stackable design integrates with XP's gold pan system, and the wide diameter handles high-volume sifting without spillage.
Why Gold Prospectors Reach for the XP Classifier
- Removes oversize rocks before panning: the mesh traps material larger than 10mm so you process only concentrate that can hold fine gold, cutting panning time and reducing the chance of losing flour gold in heavy gravel.
- Stackable with XP pans and other classifiers: the rim design nests with XP's gold pan series and additional classifiers, so you can build a multi-stage sifting stack in the field without carrying separate frames.
- Wide diameter handles high-volume material: the 15-inch opening processes bucket loads in fewer passes than smaller classifiers, useful when you're working a productive pay streak and need to move material quickly.
- Lightweight construction for all-day use: the frame stays comfortable during extended sifting sessions, and the compact profile fits in a backpack or prospecting kit without adding bulk.
Stackable Rim Design for Multi-Stage Classification
The XP Classifier's rim profile locks into XP gold pans and stacks with additional classifiers when you need finer grading. Prospectors working rich concentrate often run material through a coarse classifier first to remove large rocks, then follow with a finer mesh to isolate pay dirt. The stackable design eliminates the need for separate frames, you nest the classifier directly onto your pan, sift, then remove the screen and continue panning. The mesh screen covers the full diameter, and the lightweight plastic frame is designed for field use. We stock the full range of gold classifiers & sifters for prospectors building a complete grading system.
