It works on the principle that gold has a much higher density than sand and gravel\u2014gold particles are separated by shaking and rinsing the pan with water. Suitable for single-person, small-scale operations, it has extremely low costs and is ideal for beginners.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-Nrv0fsKK6d40CbclMIdclwFonne\">2. Portable Sluice Box<\/h3>\n<p>The core equipment for small-scale river gold mining, usually a long trough equipped with gold-catching mat\/blanket. Sand, gravel and water from the river are poured into the sluice box together; flowing water washes away light sand and gravel, while gold particles are trapped by the riffles and gold mats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/fr\/medium-sized-alluvial-gold-mining-box\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-281\" src=\"http:\/\/www.goldminingmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Alluvial-Gold-Sluice2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldminingmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Alluvial-Gold-Sluice2.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.goldminingmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Alluvial-Gold-Sluice2-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.goldminingmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Alluvial-Gold-Sluice2-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.goldminingmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Alluvial-Gold-Sluice2-624x468.webp 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-bullet1\">\n<li class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-MQItfLvcsdZEAFcgm3tcFddkn8f\" data-list=\"bullet\">\n<div><strong>Avantages avantages<\/strong>: Enables multi-person collaboration, with a processing capacity more than 10 times that of gold pans.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li data-list=\"bullet\">\n<div><a href=\"\/fr\/rubber-gold-mats-vs-traditional-sticky-gold-grass\/\"><strong>What are the differences between a gold-catching mat and a rubber mat?<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-EONIfBfBmdTFPVc4FI7clwbynLe\">3. Small Sand Suction Pump + Suction Hoses<\/h3>\n<p>Designed for river sections with deep water or thick sand-gravel layers, the pump extracts sediment from the riverbed and directly transports it to the sluice box for separation. It replaces manual shoveling, significantly improving efficiency and must be powered by a small generator.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-RJLFfBWjbdYyEocDA26c177Anzu\">4. Hand-Cranked\/Electric Gold Centrifugal Concentrator<\/h3>\n<p>An advanced purification device that uses centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to quickly separate fine gold particles (suitable for recovering \u201cflour gold\u201d) from sand and gravel. It boasts much higher separation precision than sluice boxes, making it suitable for small-scale operations with a certain production scale, and requires a power source.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-D4IofFlRkdaQWTcE8OzcVVIonHe\">II.
