1. Project Background & Capacity

The Armenian client, METAL WORLD LLC, required an upcasting solution to produce oxygen-free copper rods as raw material for downstream drawing and extrusion. The project demanded high conductivity, low oxygen content, and consistent rod dimensions.

• Output Specifications: φ8mm - φ16mm high-conductivity oxygen-free copper rods.

• Production Capacity: 1,000 tons per year (approx. 3 tons/day).

2. Technical Support & Parameterized Evidence

The unit ensures material purity and process stability through the following specifications:

• Dual-Furnace Configuration: Features a 150KG/45kW melting furnace and a 45kW holding furnace. Power consumption for melting is maintained at <310 kWh/ton with a power factor of 0.95-1, optimizing energy efficiency.

• High-Precision Servo Drive: The updraft mechanism is driven by imported servo motors, paired with an advanced pitch control system. It allows for an upward leading speed of 560-2400 mm/min with adjustable pitch settings.

• Level Tracking & Control: Level tracking accuracy reaches ±2mm, ensuring constant mold immersion depth for superior surface finish and uniform grain structure.

• Premium Component Selection:

  • PLC: Mitsubishi

  • HMI: Weinview

  • Frequency Converter: Siemens

  • Contactors & Relays: Schneider

3. Equipment Composition & Specifications

The comprehensive production line includes:

• Melting System: Combined line frequency induction furnace.

• Casting System: Two-head continuous casting unit with hydraulic lift and crystallizers.

• Take-up System: Winding specifications of φ700mm × φ1600mm × 800mm.

• Auxiliary Units: Automatic feeding, water cooling, and real-time temperature monitoring/recording systems.
