Portable gold trommel

1.Product Introduction Gold Separation Equipment

The Portable Gold Trommel is a compact, highly mobile mineral processing unit engineered for artisanal miners, prospectors, and small-scale commercial operations. Unlike larger stationary plants, the portable trommel is designed for "rapid deployment," allowing users to process gold-bearing material in remote locations where road access is limited. By combining a rotating scrubbing drum with integrated recovery tools like sluice boxes, it provides a complete "mine-in-a-box" solution that can be transported by a standard pickup truck or towed behind an ATV.

2.Application Gold Separation Equipment

• Artisanal Mining: Ideal for individual miners or small cooperatives working in remote riverbeds or jungle environments.

• Prospecting & Sampling: Used by exploration teams to quickly assess the gold concentration of a claim before moving in heavy machinery.

• Tailings Reprocessing: Efficiently sifting through old mine dumps to recover fine gold missed by previous, less efficient methods.

• Beach & River Mining: Perfect for processing loose sands and gravels along shorelines and active waterways.

3.Working Principle Gold Separation Equipment

• Feed & Scrubbing: Raw material is shoveled or fed by a small excavator into the hopper. As the drum rotates, internal baffles tumble the ore, using mechanical friction to break apart dirt and clay.

• High-Volume Washing: A water pump feeds a spray bar inside the drum, creating a high-pressure wash that strips gold flakes and nuggets from the surface of larger rocks.

• Precision Screening: The slurry passes through a perforated screen (usually 1/4" to 1/2" apertures). The gold-bearing fines fall through the holes, while the large, barren "oversize" rocks are tumbled out the back.

• Gold Capture: The fines flow into a specialized sluice box attached to the unit. Heavy gold is trapped in the miners' moss and riffles, while lighter sands and water are washed away as tailings.

4.Advantages Gold Separation Equipment

• Ease of Transport: Often designed with a modular or foldable frame, allowing it to be broken down into sections that fit in the back of a 4x4 vehicle.

• Excellent Fine Gold Recovery: The constant tumbling and washing action ensures that even the smallest "flour gold" is liberated from sticky material and directed into the recovery system.

• Water Efficiency: Many portable units are designed to work with low-volume pumps or can be set up in a recirculating "pond" system to conserve water in arid regions.

• User-Friendly Maintenance: Features a simple mechanical drive (usually a small gas engine or electric motor) that can be repaired with basic tools in the field.

• Durable & Scalable: Constructed from thick-gauge steel or reinforced polymers to resist the abrasive wear of constant rock tumbling while remaining lightweight.
