Product Information

A Vibrating Sluice Box for Placer Gold is designed for recovering free gold from river deposits, gravel, sand, and other alluvial materials. It combines the basic principle of sluice gravity separation with mechanical vibration to assist the movement and distribution of material through the recovery channel.

In placer mining, the feed can contain a mixture of gold, sand, gravel, clay, and other heavy minerals. The material needs to be properly classified and washed before efficient concentration can take place. In a vibrating sluice, water transports the feed along the channel while the vibration system provides additional mechanical movement.

Advantage of Sluice Box

The internal recovery system can be configured according to the expected gold particle size and feed characteristics. Different riffle profiles and sluice mats can be used to improve the retention of coarse gold and fine gold. The operating angle and water flow can also be adjusted during installation to achieve stable material movement and effective gravity separation.

Gold Sluice Boxes are suitable for small-scale gold mining, placer mining, exploration projects, recreational prospecting, and as part of a larger gravity gold recovery plant. They can also be combined with trommel screens, vibrating screens, feeders, pumps, and other equipment to create a complete processing system. With a simple structure, low operating requirements, and convenient maintenance, the sluice box remains a practical solution for recovering free gold from suitable alluvial materials.
