In general, a highbanker or power sluice is extremely efficient at trapping gold. If the unit is designed to catch and recirculate the water it is called a recirculating power sluice, or recirculating hibanker. The water pump can be either electric or gas powered. Sometimes a hopper with spray bars is mounted on top, where the gravel is introduced into the sluice, to wash the gravel over a classifier screen to remove pieces of rock that are too large to go through the sluice.

A high banker, also called a power sluice, is a piece of equipment that uses a pump to force water through a sluice to mimic the natural flow of a stream.
