Production Process Overview
1. Copper Melting
Copper cathodes or scrap copper are melted in the induction furnace, forming a stable molten metal stream.
2. Temperature Holding
The molten copper is transferred into a holding furnace to stabilize temperature and composition.
3. Horizontal Continuous Casting
Molten copper passes through a graphite mold and is continuously solidified into copper rods.
4. Cooling & Solidification
A water-cooling system ensures uniform crystallization and improves rod quality.
5. Take-Up & Collection
Finished copper rods are automatically wound or cut for storage and transport.
Main Advantages
High Efficiency Continuous Production
The system achieves continuous casting with a short cycle time, supporting large-scale copper rod manufacturing.
