The Peirce-Smith converter from SMS group is the next logical step in converting – a new solution that implements numerous improvements. This reactor type is still the most widely applied process for blister or black copper production. It is also commonly used in nickel and PGM production lines. Conversion takes place during the slag-blowing stage as well as in separate final converting phases.

Integration with SMS group’s BlueControl system for:

• Real-time O₂, temperature and pressure monitoring
• Adaptive tuyere flow balancing and blow-profile optimization
• Automated sequence management for converter tilting and tapping
