Copper Rod Turnkey Project
1.Overview
The main use of copper rod is as raw materials for the production of wire and cable, mainly used in electric power, construction, energy, automobiles, electronics and other industries. With the development of the economy, these industries have also been greatly developed, the demand for copper rod is strong, and the market prospect is very broad.
LINT TOP has been committed to providing customers with the best copper rod production solution, and has delivered a large number of copper rod turnkey projects in North Africa, the Middle East, South America and other countries and regions for more than 20 years. We provide customers with a full range of services and technical support, including furnace design and masonry, plant layout, a complete set of equipment supply, factory installation and commissioning, production process and technical training, and all required auxiliary equipment and various raw materials, to ensure that customers can obtain the highest level of technical support and service in the field of copper rod production.

2.Raw Material Selection
There are two kinds of raw materials for copper rod production: electrolytic copper and scrap copper. These two kinds of raw materials can be made into copper rods by continuous casting and rolling process.
In the traditional production of copper rods, electrolytic copper is mostly used as raw material, which has high thermal efficiency and convenient control. It does not need refining steps such as "oxygen blowing to desulfurize" and "wood insertion reduction" to obtain qualified molten copper. At the same time, the high purity and consistency of the material are very guaranteed for the production of high-quality copper rods.
However, with the shortage of global mineral resources, the output of copper concentrate is difficult to meet the demand, and the cost of producing copper rods with electrolytic copper as raw material is getting higher and higher. At the same time, the number of waste household appliances and waste wires and cables is increasing rapidly, causing resource waste and environmental pollution. Therefore, the recycling of scrap copper has become an increasingly important source of raw materials for the production of copper rods.
The recycling of scrap copper can not only solve the problem of the resources shortage, but also reduce the environmental pollution caused by the disposal of scrap copper. Moreover, with the development of technology, the recycling of scrap copper is more efficient and high-quality. Today, as copper prices continue to rise, scrap copper recycling is more profitable and has become an important part of the development of the copper industry.
Regardless of whether customers choose electrolytic copper or scrap copper as raw materials, LINT TOP can provide corresponding turnkey project services. If the customer is not sure which raw material to choose, LINT TOP can also recommend the optimal solution for the customer according to the market environment, regional characteristics, market prospects and other factors.
3.Production Process
(1) When electrolytic copper is used as raw material
Electrolytic copper→Shaft furnace→Heat preserving furnace→Launder→ Pouring pot→Billet casting→Clamping traction→Roller shears→Straightener→Burr shaver→Feeding→Continuous rolling→Cooling and deoxidizing→Rear traction→Coiling of finished copper rod
(2) When scrap copper is used as raw material
Scrap Copper→Melting and refining in reverberatory furnace→Launder→ Pouring pot→Billet casting→Clamping traction→Roller shears→Straightener→Burr shaver→Feeding→Continuous rolling→Cooling and deoxidizing→Rear traction→Coiling of finished copper rod
Note: When scrap copper is used as raw material, scrap copper of the first grade or above grade two can be used, and the mixture ratio is as the below: 60% of the first grade copper adds 40% of the second-grade copper.
4.The Turnkey Project Service
