This equipment is a new product independently developed by our company for placer gold extraction. As a Small Gold-Panning Cart, it is powered by a four-stroke diesel engine and supplied with water by a four-stroke diesel water pump set—making it an integrated gold mining solution. It features a wheeled chassis and can be towed by a tractor, with core advantages including: convenient mobility, large processing capacity, reliable performance, an integrated design, and user-friendly practicality.
Overview
The Small Gold-Panning Cart is a portable, movable gold extraction device. Below is a detailed breakdown of its structure, working principle, features, and application scope:
1. Structure and Working Principle
1.1 Structural Composition
It typically consists of six key components:
Feeding device: Such as a hopper for material input;
Screening device: Such as a trommel screen for impurity separation;
Gold separation device: Including chutes and gold felt for capturing gold;
Power system: A diesel engine to drive core operations;
Travel system: A wheeled chassis for mobility;
Water supply system: To support washing and separation processes.
1.2 Working Principle
Materials containing gold ore, gold sand, and gold-bearing soil are fed into the hopper via loaders, small excavators, or manual feeding. After initial washing, the materials enter the trommel screen. As the trommel screen rotates, it screens out large-particle impurities. During this screening process, water flushing further separates gold from other substances with lower specific gravity. Heavy minerals (such as gold, which has a higher specific gravity) remain on gold separation components like chutes and gold felt, allowing for subsequent extraction and collection.
2. Core Features
2.1 Flexible Mobility
Equipped with a wheeled undercarriage and tires, it can be easily moved via traction. Some models are designed with a steerable function, enabling 180-degree in-place rotation—making them ideal for mining areas with complex terrains, such as mountainous regions and river courses.
2.2 Easy Operation & Maintenance
With a highly integrated design, it can usually be operated by a single worker. Routine maintenance is also simplified, reducing operational costs and labor requirements.
2.3 Reliable Power Supply
Powered by a diesel engine, it provides stable energy for both the screening equipment and the water pump system—ensuring consistent performance even in remote areas without access to grid electricity.
3. Application Scope
3.1 Placer Gold Mining
It is specially designed to recover free gold from placer gold resources, including dryland beaches, river courses, and alluvial deposits. It is also a common piece of equipment for both placer gold and lode gold beneficiation.
3.2 Small-Scale Prospecting & Mining
With a processing capacity ranging from several tons to dozens of tons per hour, it is well-suited for small mines, areas with uneven mineral distribution, and small-scale gold beneficiation operations during the prospecting stage.
