How to Separate gold from river sand?

Below, the technical editor from Jiangxi Victor Mining will provide a detailed introduction to river sand gold extraction equipment. Some rivers contain placer gold, which people extract using various methods. The most primitive method is the gold pan, which works on a similar principle to the current reciprocating gold bed. Both methods involve moving the minerals back and forth, causing heavier minerals to sink and lighter minerals to be washed away by the water, thus obtaining a concentrate.

River sand gold extraction equipment primarily uses loaders or trucks for loading. If using a truck, a steep ramp needs to be built, or the loading hopper needs to be placed at a lower position. Loaders or forklifts have relatively higher loading hoppers. The material first enters the loading hopper, passes through a drum screen to remove larger impurities, and the waste is generally conveyed to a designated location by a conveyor belt, typically 5-10 meters away. The refined material falls through the screen openings, and the gold panning sluice is located below the screen. Single-sided or double-sided sluices can be selected. During the rotation of the drum screen, a jet of water washes the screen and sluice, washing away the mud and sand, leaving the gold on the gold-refining carpet. The waste is discharged from the gold extraction sluice. If sand is needed, a water-wheel sand washing machine can be added to remove the water, and then the sand is conveyed to a designated location by a conveyor belt.

River sand gold panning equipment typically has a processing capacity of 50-100 cubic meters per hour. The screen diameter is generally 1.2 to 1.8 meters, the screen length is generally 1.5 to 6 meters, and there are usually 2-4 chutes. The conveying distance is generally 5-10 meters. This type of river sand gold panning equipment boasts a high gold recovery rate with almost no ore loss; the gold recovery rate can reach over 90%. It can also extract iron powder and wash yellow sand. The investment is low, but the returns are high.


The river sand gold panning equipment is technologically advanced, rationally structured, reliably operated, and conveniently maintained. Years of production practice have proven that this type of gold panning vessel for placer gold production features a high degree of mechanization, large production capacity, low investment, and quick returns. It is an advanced combined mining and processing equipment for river sand gold panning and processing.
