SE 13.25-inch Stackable Classifier Pan Set - 5-Pack Green, Stainless-Steel Mesh, Fits 5-Gallon Bucket

SE's 13.25-inch 5-piece stackable classifier set is a complete, portable sifting system that uses five calibrated stainless-steel meshes to sort paydirt quickly and accurately for hobby or professional prospecting.

This patented set of 13.25" stackable sifting pans includes five different stainless-steel mesh sizes—1/2", 1/4", 1/8", 1/12" and 1/20"—to help you separate large rocks, gravel and fines so you can focus on the particle sizes most likely to contain gold, gemstones or other valuable material. Each pan snaps together for compact storage and fits securely on a standard 5-gallon bucket, making it easy to bring an organized screening workflow to the field, backyard, or workshop. The rigid plastic frames and rust-resistant wire cloth are built to stand up to repeated use while remaining lightweight for travel.

How do these classifiers speed up my gold recovery process?

Using a sequence of mesh sizes quickly removes oversized material and groups similar particle sizes, which reduces the time spent panning or processing. Instead of sorting mixed material by hand, you move material through graduated screens so each pass concentrates the likely paydirt for faster visual and mechanical recovery.

• Five calibrated meshes from 0.500" down to 0.050" for staged sizing.
• Stackable design lets you screen multiple grades without rearranging gear.
• Each pan clears large debris so downstream panning or sluicing is more efficient.

What makes the SE mesh and frame durable enough for outdoor use?

The screening cloth is stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and consistent aperture size, while the reinforced plastic rim resists impact and flex. Together they hold screen tension reliably and withstand repeated abrasion from gravel and sand, extending useful life in rugged environments.

• Stainless-steel wire mesh resists rust and maintains shape over time.
• Plastic rims are lightweight but reinforced to tolerate drops and knocks.
• Wire thickness varies by mesh to balance durability with accurate sieving.

How does the stackable design help on location or in storage?

The pans nest neatly for compact transport and sit securely on a 5-gallon bucket for hands-free screening. Stacking saves space in a truck or shed and speeds transitions between mesh sizes while you work, so you can run a series of classifiers in sequence without unpacking multiple tools.

• Pans stack one atop another to minimize packed volume.
• Each pan is sized to sit flush on standard 5-gallon buckets for stability.
• Quick-change layering reduces setup time between screen stages.

Which projects or tasks are these sifting pans suitable for?

While optimized for gold and gemstone prospecting, the five-mesh set is versatile for other sorting jobs: from separating aquarium gravel and meal worms to fossil prep and hobby tumbling. The range of apertures gives you control over the particle sizes you retain or discard for any small-scale screening need.

• Designed for gold recovery, gem and mineral sorting, and small-scale archaeology.
• Useful for gardening, pet litter separation, gravel grading, and crafts.
• Works well with sample buckets, sluice boxes, and hobby tumblers.

Who is this for: This five-piece SE classifier set is aimed at weekend prospectors, field technicians, hobby geologists, and anyone needing reliable, portable particle separation. If you want faster classification, consistent mesh sizing, and a compact kit that fits a 5-gallon bucket, this set gives you a practical, long-lasting solution for sorting paydirt, gravel, or other small materials without bulky equipment.
