Maerz Direct-to-Wire® Technology – Optimized FRHC Copper Production

$15.00

Direct-to-Wire® Technology is a new fire-refining technology for the optimized production of fire-refined high-conductivity copper rod (FRHC copper rod) from copper scrap. The technology is based on Andritz Maerz’s lengthy experience in furnace building and can be introduced into either existing or new copper rod production plants. Two different furnace concepts are available to meet the requirements of different production volumes and product mixes.
