Uralelectromed has started modernizing the pouring complex of the anode furnace No. 2 at the copper-smelting shop with the unification of two anode removers for two types of anodes – 260 and 392 kg (at present the complex produces anodes weighing 260 kg).
This year the company will commission the second stage of the copper electrolysis shop. After the reconstruction the complex will be able to produce anodes of two types, both of which will be used to manufacture copper cathodes.
The necessary machinery will arrive in June, and the commissioning is scheduled for July.
Under the reconstruction program two furnace complexes have been modernized and one built from scratch.
UEM copper smelting shop operates 5 anode furnaces. (Ukrainian metal)
