Gold Processing Plant For Sale
A gold processing plant for sale is not one machine and not one price. It is a sequence of modules bolted into one flow: feed, washing and sizing, roughing, cleaning, tailings handling, and the power that drives them.
Every gold processing plant we quote is priced that way, module by module, and the column below explains why that changes the number you end up paying.
What You Are Actually Buying
A gold processing plant is not a product you pick off a list. It is a flowsheet - a sequence of decisions about how your specific ground releases its gold, turned into equipment.
That distinction has money in it. When a supplier quotes a gold processing plant for sale as one lump figure, the oversizing is invisible. You cannot see which stage is doing the work, which stage is optional, or which stage was inflated.
When the same plant is quoted module by module, you can. That is the single most useful thing to insist on before you sign anything.

The Modules, and What Each One Decides
The flow below is the one we build. Each row names the real specification and, more importantly, the decision that stage controls.
| Stage | What it is | Specification from our builds | What it decides |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feed | Hopper and grizzly | 6 mm high-manganese wear-plate hopper; round-bar grizzly, 30 mm bars, spacing fixed at order | How much oversize is rejected before the drum |
| Washing and sizing | Double-deck rotary drum | 25 mm inner deck over a 6 mm outer deck, woven high-manganese wire; spray manifold | Whether clay releases the gold it is holding |
| Roughing - coarse | Sluice box | 6000 × 1000 mm carbon steel tank with polyethylene recovery carpet | How much coarse gold is caught at near-zero running cost |
| Roughing - fine | Centrifugal concentrator | Fully continuous, 2-80 t/h per unit, normally 2-4 units per plant | Whether the flour gold is held at all |
| Cleaning | Shaking table | 6S table, 1.1 kW | Concentrate grade before smelting |
| Tailings | Settling pond and return line | Sized to the whole circuit | Water reuse and tailings stability |
| Power | Grid supply or diesel genset | 30-350 kW, Weichai or Cummins; gearboxes and motors from SEW, ABB, Sumitomo or Siemens | Where the plant can physically operate |
| Refining | Smelting furnace | 10-15 kg per batch; moulds at 100 / 200 / 500 / 1000 g | Whether you sell doré bars or raw concentrate |
The plant is quoted module by module precisely so it can start as a partial line and be completed in a second order, once the first campaign tells you where the ground actually needs more capacity.

It is worth watching for the feed end rather than the gold - you can see how the grizzly and the spray manifold handle unwashed ore before the drum.
Free Gold or Sulphide - That Decides the Route
Capacity gets discussed first and matters least. What actually determines the flowsheet is the form the gold takes in your ore, and no equipment budget fixes a route chosen for the wrong ore.
| Your ore | Route that works | What you need to know |
|---|---|---|
| Alluvial gravel, free gold | Washing and gravity - the module set above | This is what we build and what we can quote from our own references |
| Free-milling hard rock, coarse gold | Crushing, then gravity | Gravity first, concentrators on the fine fraction |
| Sulphide-hosted gold (pyrite, arsenopyrite) | Flotation, then treatment of the concentrate | Gravity alone loses the locked gold; the sulphide must be floated out first |
| Refractory or finely disseminated gold | Cyanidation - CIP or CIL | A chemical plant with a different permit class and a different supply chain |
On the last two rows, tell us at the sampling stage and we will say plainly whether the route suits what we build. Finding that out before the order is worth more than any discount after it.
What Moves the Price
Four things move the figure on a gold processing plant for sale more than anything else, and only one of them is tonnage.
How many modules you actually need. A sluice plus one concentrator is a fraction of the cost of a line with a concentrator bank, a shaking table and a furnace. This is the driver buyers control most easily.
Where the power comes from. A grid connection needs a transformer and a permit; a genset between 30 kW and 350 kW needs fuel logistics and a heavier structural frame. The same plant prices differently depending on that choice.

Capacity at the stage that matters. Installed power steps from 1.5 kW on the smallest drum to 30 kW on the largest, a twenty-fold range. Most buyers over-buy on the drum and under-buy on the concentrator, which is the stage holding the fine gold.
Mobility and site conditions. A towable frame that moves between pits is a different fabrication from a fixed plant on poured foundations, and a remote site adds freight and commissioning time.
How a Plant Gets Specified
Four steps, in this order, and the order matters more than the speed.
One - send the ore. Ground type, the gold size you are seeing, your target tonnes per hour, and whether you have grid power on site.
Two - we test and design the flowsheet. The flowsheet states the expected recovery, and that document is what defines the build. Ore testing and flowsheet design come before the order, not after it.
Three - the quotation arrives module by module. Each stage carries its own figure, so you can add or drop a stage yourself rather than negotiate a lump sum you cannot itemise.
Four - build, test, ship. Standard builds leave the factory in about 15 days, or roughly 30 days for two or three together. Every unit is started, loaded and inspected on the factory floor before crating.
What Arrives After the Order
Main machines carry a 12-month warranty, and spare parts are held worldwide matched to the model, with 24/7 support on parts enquiries.
Installation is covered either by a video walk-through or by an engineer dispatched to site, and operator training is included either way. Every gold processing plant is test-run on load before it is crated.
Equipment ships in a steel frame under waterproof canvas, with a loading diagram drawn for your 20 ft or 40 ft container. FOB, CIF and DDP terms are all available.
Manufacturing runs to CE/ISO certified processes, and the placer equipment line carries CE certification. Copies of the certificates travel with the shipping documents.

Where These Plants Are Working
Plants have gone to buyers in Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Machines from the Zhengzhou factory are currently running alluvial ground in Ghana, Nigeria, Sudan, Indonesia and Russia.
If you want to speak to someone running comparable ground before committing, ask - we will put you in touch with a reference rather than describe one.
Questions Buyers Ask Before Signing
Q: What does a gold processing plant for sale actually cost?
A: There is no list price, because the flowsheet sets it. A sluice-and-concentrator line and a full plant with cleaning and refining are different purchases at different figures. The module-by-module quotation is what makes the comparison honest.
Q: What is the smallest order?
A: A single plant. We do not require a container minimum or a multi-unit commitment.
Q: How long from order to site?
A: About 15 days for a standard build, roughly 30 days for two or three units together. Custom flowsheets are scheduled into the build queue once the design is signed off, so the timeline is confirmed in the quotation.
Q: What if my ore turns out to need flotation or cyanidation?
A: We will tell you at the sampling stage. Publishing a gravity flowsheet for ore that needs a chemical route wastes your money and our reputation.
Q: Do you handle shipping and on-site assembly?
A: Equipment ships FOB, CIF or DDP. Installation is supported by video walk-through or by a dispatched engineer, with operator training included.
The module design keeps site assembly simple enough that most crews complete mechanical setup on a small line in about half a day.
Q: What support is there after the first season?
A: A 12-month warranty on main machines, spare parts matched to the model and shipped worldwide, and 24/7 support on parts enquiries. Remote technical support helps with spray positioning and drum slope as your ground changes.
Send Your Ore Details
Tell us the ore type, the gold size you are seeing, your target tonnes per hour and whether you have grid power on site.
What comes back is a module-by-module quotation with a named flowsheet - not a single figure that hides which stage you are overpaying for.
Tell us at this stage whether your gold is free or sulphide-hosted. That one answer is what turns a gold processing plant for sale into a plant you can actually run.
