Perfect for Small-Scale Mining
The 50 Ton Gold Wash Plant is one of our best sellers, ideal for prospectors and small mining operations. Despite its compact size, it delivers the same 95-98% recovery rate as our larger models. The ~15' sluice captures fine gold down to 200 mesh while the all-in-one design eliminates the need for separate screens or sluice boxes.
Who Is the 50 Ton For?
- Small-scale placer miners processing 50 tons per hour or less
- Prospectors testing new claims before scaling up
- Remote operations where portability is critical
- Operators who want professional-grade recovery without the industrial footprint
Portability & Setup
Weighing significantly less than our larger models, the 50-ton unit can be towed by a standard pickup truck. Setup usually takes 30 minutes or less, meaning you can be processing material the same day it arrives. Learn more about how our wash plants work.
50 Ton Wash Plant — Common Questions
How much does a 50 ton gold wash plant cost?
Every 50 Ton plant is custom-built to the ground it will run on, so we quote each one rather than publish a single list price. Build time is one to three weeks. What moves the number most is the power package, the feed setup and where it ships to. Our gold wash plant cost guide walks through each of those, and a quote request comes back with a firm figure.
How much water does the 50 Ton need?
The 50 Ton runs at 500 GPM. That is the flow through the plant, not the volume you have to haul — most operations recirculate off a settling pond, so a single water source keeps the plant producing for days. Sizing the pond and pump to your ground is part of the quote.
What powers a 50 ton wash plant?
Diesel or electric, configured with the plant. Diesel is the usual choice on remote claims with no line power. Electric makes sense where you already have a generator set or grid supply on site.
How fine a gold will the 50 Ton hold?
The ~15 feet sluice recovers 95-98% down to 200 mesh. Recovery of very fine and flour gold depends as much on how the material is fed and how the sluice is run as it does on the plant itself.
Can the 50 Ton ship outside the United States?
Yes. We build in the USA and ship worldwide, and more than half of our enquiries come from outside the country. Containerisation, documentation and duty are worth planning before you order, not after.
Not sure this is the right size? Compare it against the 100 Ton plant, or read our guide to choosing the right size wash plant for your ground.
The 50 ton is the entry point. If you are weighing it against the bigger builds, the full gold wash plant range runs from this machine up to 300 tons per hour.
