Alluvial Mining Equipments

High Volume Water Pumps

High volume water pumps are used to assist in drying out flooded, most often by rain, pits. Another important use is to supply the diamond/fine gold recovery jig(s) with water.

Also, since these pumps are set up on trailers, the alternative use is to fight fires. Many alluvial mining operations are set in the forested areas, so, the danger of forest fire, accidentally or naturally set, is very real. Any alluvial mining operation should take that in consideration when planning to purchase the equipments. The forest fire out of control can be a costly event in loss of investment and human life.
