40cmx2.7m Portable Gold Sluice Box for Prospecting

Product Overview

The 40cmx2.7m Portable Gold Sluice Box stands out as a lightweight yet high-performance tool tailored for gold prospecting in diverse aquatic environments, including rivers, streams, and alluvial deposits. Crafted with corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy—a material chosen for its perfect balance of strength and low weight—this sluice box merges portability with long-lasting durability. It empowers miners to process up to 2 cubic meters of material per hour, efficiently capturing both fine gold particles and larger nuggets. A key design highlight is its adjustable riffle system paired with premium rubber matting, which work in tandem to create optimal water turbulence, ensuring minimal gold loss and making it a top choice for both novice prospectors and experienced miners.

Product Specifications

Features

Lightweight & Portable: Weighing just 5.1 kg, its foldable frame collapses into a compact size, easily fitting into backpacks or small storage spaces for hassle-free transport to remote prospecting sites.

High Recovery Rate: The dual-layer riffle system—with adjustable spacing from 2mm to 8mm—traps gold particles as small as 0.1mm. The rubber matting beneath enhances water turbulence, preventing fine gold from escaping with sediment.

Durable Construction: Rust-proof aluminum alloy resists damage from water, gravel, and mineral-rich environments, ensuring consistent performance even during extended use in wet conditions.

Easy Setup: Tool-free assembly allows quick deployment—simply unfold the frame, secure the riffles, and position the sluice box in a flowing water source to start processing immediately.

Applications

Small-Scale Mining: Ideal for artisanal miners working in riverbeds and creek beds, processing alluvial deposits with limited equipment.

Prospecting Expeditions: Its lightweight design and compact storage make it perfect for backpacking trips to gold-rich regions like mountain streams or remote valleys.

Educational Use: A valuable tool for geology students and outdoor education programs, demonstrating placer mining techniques and gold separation principles.

FAQ

Q: Can this sluice box be used without a pump?

A: Yes, it operates efficiently with natural water flow from streams or rivers. For faster processing in low-flow areas, pair it with a 2.5 HP gasoline pump (sold separately) to boost water circulation.

Q: How often should I clean the riffles?

A: Clean the riffles and rubber matting after every use to remove trapped sediment and debris, ensuring unobstructed water flow and consistent gold retention in subsequent sessions.
