Under the situation of scarce copper resources and increasing stringent environmental protection requirements, most countries recycle and reuse scrap copper to save copper resources and protect the global environment.
Most countries in the world no longer adopt traditional boat-shaped copper ingots, but instead adopt Continuous Casting and Rolling (CCR) production processes.
Scrap copper is melted into recycled copper ingots through slag removal and crushing. Copper ingots are then processed to produce various copper products which meet the requirements. The continuous casting and rolling process can directly produce bright and low-oxygen copper rods that meet the requirements of wires and cables. Compared with copper ingot recycling, the direct recovery and reuse of scrap copper not only reduces the processing steps and improves the recovery rate of scrap copper, but also reduces the production cost by about 5%.
The continuous casting and rolling production line provided by HONOR METAL can use scrap copper or electrolytic copper plates as raw material, which are melted into liquid copper in a melting furnace. The liquid copper is then transferred through the launder and cast into copper slabs in a continuous casting machine. The copper slabs are subsequently rolled and sheared, straightened and scraped, and roughened in a hot continuous rolling mill to produce bright, low-oxygen copper rods.
This technology cleverly combines the two processes of casting and rolling. Compared with the traditional process that casting copper slabs first and then heating them in a heating furnace and rolling, it has advantages of simplifying the process, improving the working conditions, increasing the metal yield, saving energy, improving the quality of continuous casting ingots, and facilitating the realization of mechanization and automation.
In the 21st century, the wire and cable industry has developed rapidly around the world. In China, copper for the wire and cable industry is growing at an annual rate of about 10%. With the increase of the demand for wires and cables, the demand for raw materials for copper rods will increase. Continuous casting and rolling, the main manufacturing method of copper rods, will surely be more widely used in the future. Recycling copper rods from scrap copper will also usher in the spring of industry development.
We make technological innovation on the basis of fully absorbing and digesting advanced production technology of similar international equipment from United States, Germany, Italy, etc. Our equipment has characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, high production efficiency, high yield, low failure rate, low energy consumption, excellent copper rod quality and so on.

By adopting advanced refining technology, this line rolls the refined low-oxygen copper rods produced by the rolling machine continuously to produce Φ8mm bright and low-oxygen copper rods. The copper rods can meet the requirements of Chinese GB/T3952 standard and relevant international standards.
Waste copper rectangular fixed-type reverberatory furnace is a special smelting equipment that uses liquefied petroleum gas, heavy oil or natural gas as fuel and scrap copper as raw material to complete melting, oxidation (slagging), reduction and other smelting processes.
Mainly composed of steel structure, refractory material, furnace door and transmission equipment, gas burner, air supply system and electronic control system.
The liquid copper refined by the reverberatory furnace casts in the crystallization wheel cavity of the casting machine through launder and pouring pot. After water cooling, it rapidly condenses and solidifies into the casting rod ingot.
Uses copper-chromium-zirconium crystallization wheel for high hardness, wear resistance, antiknock, and long service life.
Continuous rolling of copper rod ingots manufactured by the casting machine.
Adopts active feeding, final rolling speed can reach (8.1~9.9) m/s, and the outer diameter of the rod is 8mm. Offers convenient operation, easy control, high productivity, and stable rod diameter.
PLC programmables, touch screens, and DC control systems use Germany Siemens. Buttons use Schneider, control relays use Omron. All frequency converters and AC motors use Siemens (China).
Can use scrap copper of grade 1 or above grade 2 in a certain proportion. Grade 1: clean and non-alloy copper wires free from tin. Grade 2: small diameter non-insulated copper wires containing telephone wires, copper strip with varnish/paper insulation.
Scrap copper needs to be packed into copper blocks by a hydraulically driven scrap copper baler before casting. It can extrude scrap copper into cubes or cylinders to reduce transportation and smelting costs.
We can provide our customers with the most professional and comprehensive technical support with rich experience and a professional technical team.
In addition to providing customers with a full set of detailed drawings, technical documents and other information, we also provide a professional technical team to the customer site for installation and commissioning, and provide customers with face-to-face technical guidance.
Scrap copper recycling, casting and rolling line requires not only a professional continuous casting and rolling production line, but also a mature production process. Because of the difficulty and key point of scrap copper recycling, casting and rolling line lies in the production process. Only a complete and mature production process can produce the low-oxygen copper rods that meet the standard requirements with bright appearance and stable diameter. Our technical team can provide two to three years of on-site technical guidance in the customer's factory until our customers have mastered a professional level of copper rod continuous casting and rolling production process.
Choosing our equipment means choosing a strong and professional technical team, first-class quality and perfect after-sales guarantee.
