casting line offers flexible capabilities, with a casting diameter
range of Φ8mm to Φ20mm, and is capable of producing up to 17 tons per day with an annual output of 5,000 tons per year.
Key Features of the Copper Rod Casting Line
The upward continuous casting system is engineered with precision and efficiency in mind. It
features a robust design and advanced technologies to ensure the
highest-quality copper products:
Melting Furnace: The 300KG triple-body holding furnace has a 160KW rated power, enabling rapid and efficient melting of copper materials.
Holding Furnace: The 80KW holding furnace maintains molten copper at the ideal temperature for continuous
casting.
Continuous Casting Heads: With 10 continuous casting heads, the system can produce copper rods at a high throughput.
Servo Motor and Control System: The line is driven by Yaskawa servo motors from Japan, paired with a Mitsubishi PLC control system and a touchscreen interface for easy operation.
Updraft Speed Control: The updraft speed ranges from 550-2400mm/min, allowing for precise adjustments and smooth copper rod
production.

Energy Efficiency and Precision
This upward continuous casting line is designed to optimize energy consumption and minimize
operational costs. The power consumption rate of molten copper is less than 325kWh per ton, making it an energy-efficient solution for large-scale copper rod
production. The system’s high-precision control ensures that the liquid copper level is monitored in real-time
with a tracking accuracy of ±2mm, guaranteeing consistent casting quality.
Advanced Take-up System
The take-up system employs a variable frequency synchronous cable collection method, ensuring that copper rods are neatly wound onto reels. The
servo-controlled take-up mechanism synchronizes the winding speed with the casting speed, ensuring smooth operation even with smaller pole diameters.
Durable Construction and High-Quality Components
The system is built with high-quality materials for durability and long-term performance. The melting furnace and holding furnace are constructed from A3 steel, while components like the induction coils and crystallizers are made from T2 copper and stainless steel. The use of imported high-precision reducers, servo motors, and Schneider electrical components guarantees reliable and efficient operation.
Applications and Benefits
This upward continuous casting machine is ideal for manufacturers producing oxygen-free copper rods, copper pipes, and other copper products with high conductivity. The system’s
versatility, energy efficiency, and high output make it an
excellent choice for large-scale production in industries such as
electronics, electrical conductors, and more.
Conclusion
The 5000T per year upward continuous casting machine line is a state-of-the-art solution for high-volume copper rod production. Its advanced features, including servo motor control, real-time liquid level tracking, and synchronous take-up system, ensure consistent and high-quality products. By investing in this
advanced casting line, manufacturers can significantly improve
their productivity, energy efficiency, and product quality.
