At Jiangxi Hengcheng Mining Equipment Co., Ltd, we know that every placer gold miner wants to maximize recovery rates. You also need to minimize operational costs. Therefore, a scientifically designed gold placer processing flow is essential for your success. Today, we will take you behind the scenes. We will explore our comprehensive four-stage gold placer processing flow . This integrated system turns raw, clay-bound ore into high-grade gold concentrate.

The entire process relies on physical separation. Specifically, it uses the differences in specific gravity to capture gold. Here is a breakdown of the key stages and the heavy-duty equipment that makes it happen.

Stage 1: Washing & Scrubbing – Removing the clay

First, the journey begins with the scrubber trommel. In placer deposits, gold particles often trap within tough clay or cemented gravel. If you do not break down this clay, you will lose the gold in the tailings. Therefore, our robust rotary scrubber trommel acts as the primary washing unit. It uses high-pressure water and intense rotational agitation. This action disintegrates clay-bound material effectively. Consequently, it releases gold-bearing particles and stabilizes the feed stream for the next stage.

Stage 2: Screening – Creating a Uniform Feed

Next, the material needs to be sized after washing. This is where the Vibrating screen takes over. The vibrating screen separates the material to remove oversized rocks and unwanted trash. By preparing a uniform feed, the screen ensures that downstream equipment operates at peak efficiency. Furthermore, it prevents blockages and ensures smooth continuous production.

Stage 3: Gravity Concentration – The Heart of Recovery

Additionally, this stage is critical for capturing the coarse free gold. We employ a combination of advanced gravity separation equipment here. Specifically, we use the centrifugal concentrator and the vibrating sluice box.

  • Centrifugal Concentrator: This high-speed unit uses centrifugal force to amplify the gravitational pull. As a result, it recovers fine and coarse free gold highly effectively.

  • Vibrating Sluice Box: Working in tandem, the vibrating sluice box provides a fluidized bed. This bed helps separate heavy minerals from lighter sands. Therefore, it significantly reduces valuable mineral losses and captures a preliminary heavy concentrate.

Stage 4: Table & Final Recovery – Upgrading the Concentrate

Finally, the last step in our gold wash plant flow is upgrading the heavy mineral concentrate. The previous stage feeds the material onto a Shaking Table. This classic, yet highly precise piece of equipment uses a combination of shaking motion and water flow. It separates minerals based on density. Ultimately, we improve the concentrate grade here. We produce a clean, high-purity gold concentrate ready for smelting or further refining.
