Overview Line Concepts
DIRECTUBE®
Casting and rolling of copper mother tubes in one stepThe SMS group developed directube® to enable coppertube manufacturers to produce high-quality tubes on a highly efficient Basis. Our directube® system casts tube shells from copper cathodes on a horizontal continuous casting plant. Then a planetary rolling mill directly converts them into mother tubes. This short process route results in high efficiency and lower energy consumption. Plus, you can process the mother tubes on conventional drawing lines to the required final tube sizes.
Key elements of directube®:
- Furnace for melting copper cathodes and process scrap
- Multi-strand horizontal continuous shell caster
- Surface preparation unit for the shells
- Planetary mill (PSW) with in-line coiling for cross-rolling

directube®
The most compact process for copper tubesWe integrate a special mold technology in our horizontal continuous casting plants so you can efficiently cast small cross sections (near-net- shape casting). What this means for you is that you cast a thick-wall tube, directly roll it into a mother tube, then cold-draw the mother tube to the final tube size on conventional drawing machines.
This is the most economic route by far for small and medium production capacities.
