LIPU Portable Gold Sluice Boxes are designed for recovering gold from alluvial sand and gravel. Water carries the feed through the sluice, where the recovery surface helps retain heavier gold-bearing particles while lighter material flows toward the discharge end. The modular design supports transport, setup, and different site layouts.
A gold sluice box is a channel that directs a water and sediment mixture over a recovery surface. As material flows through the sluice, differences in particle density help retain heavier gold-bearing particles while lighter material moves toward the discharge end.
LIPU’s portable design uses modular sections for transport and site setup. Depending on the selected configuration, the sluice may use sheet aluminum or composite plastic.
The sluice box uses flowing water and gravity to separate particles:
Recovery depends on gold particle size, feed characteristics, water flow, sluice setup, and operating conditions. A sluice box concentrates material; additional processing may be needed to produce a final gold product.
Performance depends on the material, water flow, sluice setup, and operating conditions. Confirm model-specific materials and configuration with LIPU before ordering.
The portable sluice box is assembled from smaller modules. This design supports transport, storage, and setup, and allows the sluice to be arranged according to the project configuration.
The appropriate layout depends on the selected model and site conditions. Confirm the complete configuration, materials, and included components with LIPU before ordering.
Portable gold sluice boxes may be used to process gold-bearing sand and gravel in suitable alluvial mining and exploration applications. They can be installed as part of a small-scale recovery setup or integrated with other equipment when the process requires it.
Before selecting a model, consider the material to be processed, required throughput, available water supply, site layout, and planned feed and discharge arrangements.
| Model | Length | Width | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4000 × 1000 | 4000 mm | 1000 mm | 10–15 TPH |
| 6000 × 1000 | 6000 mm | 1000 mm | 20–25 TPH |
Capacities shown are from the existing product-page table. Confirm the rated capacity and final configuration for your material and operating conditions.
When comparing the 4000 × 1000 mm and 6000 × 1000 mm models, consider:
Share these details with LIPU when requesting a quotation so the team can confirm a suitable model and configuration.

LIPU provides support for equipment installation and commissioning, operator training, maintenance, and spare-parts supply. Confirm the applicable warranty terms and service scope with LIPU for the selected order.
What does TPH mean?
TPH means tonnes per hour. The listed capacity is a reference value; actual throughput depends on the feed material and operating conditions.
Can the sluice box be transported in sections?
The product page describes a modular structure designed to support disassembly, transport, and setup. Confirm the module breakdown and assembly details for the model you select.
Does a sluice box refine gold?
No. A sluice box uses gravity separation to concentrate heavier particles from sediment. Further processing may be required, depending on the material and intended final product.
How do I choose between the two models?
Compare the listed capacity and dimensions with your throughput target, available space, feed material, and water conditions. LIPU can confirm the configuration based on your requirements.
