Copper Manufacturing Consultancy

Copper is used in a number of industries but the major challenge for copper manufacturers is sustainable and affordable production of copper that is highly pure and free of low-grade ores that are generally exploited commercially. After the production of high purity copper cathode from the ore using a range of methods, the copper cathode has numerous applications in the manufacturing of products like seamless tube, bar, wire, rod, cables, coil, and sheet. It can also be melted again and alloyed to manufacture brass,bronze and other alloy products.

Apart from main copper production, there is also an increasing demand for recycled copper which is comparatively less energy-intensive to produce than new copper production from ore. This is an essential aspect for businesses who are looking to make their copper production a more sustainable process.
