Gold Sluice Box

【Description】A gold sluice box with a mat is a type of equipment used for mineral gravity separation. It is primarily utilized in alluvial gold wash plants, gold dredgers, and open-pit gold mining operations. This equipment plays a crucial role in the process of panning for gold due to its high recovery rate, mature technology, wide application, and economic as well as environmental benefits.

【Types of sluice boxes】There are three types of sluice boxes: stationary sluice boxes, portable sluice boxes, and vibrating gold sluices. They can be further categorized based on their capacity into large-scale sluice boxes used in open-pit mining plants with an ore granularity range of 50-100mm; and small-sized mini gold sluice boxes found on gold dredgers and mobile gold mining plants where the granularity is less than 20mm.

【Related equipment】Preceding the use of a sluice box is the utilization of a gold centrifugal concentrator; following it is the employment of a gold shaker table.

【Sluice mat materials】The materials used for the construction of sluice mats include PE (polyethylene), rubber (both natural rubber and recycled material), plastic, etc.

【Small-sized sluice box】This portable device can be assembled within 30 minutes. It employs gasoline engines to pump placer sand from streams and rivers during shallow water area placer-gold washing processes.

【Services offered】(1) Customization options available for both length and width dimensions of the sluice box. (2) Various choices provided for different types

【Main components】Grizzly bar, sluice, mat, frame, water pipe, etc.
【Working principle of a gold sluice box】

Placer gold mining involves separating gold from alluvial gold deposits.

Through the combined action of water flow force, gravity (or centrifugal force), and friction between ore particles and the trough bottom,

ore particles with different specific gravities are loosely stratified and separated. Heavy density settles at the bottom of the trough as concentrate while low-density particles flow out as tailings.

【Factors affecting a sluice box】
1. Elevation difference

2. Water flow velocity

3. Slurry ratio

4. Slope angle

【Sluice box pricing】A sluice box is typically used in conjunction with other gold mining equipment such as trommel scrubbers, gold centrifugal concentrators, shaker tables, etc. Contact us for a quotation within 12 hours regarding either an individual machine or a complete gold wash plant.
