Anode furnaces (ANF)

High copper purity with reduced energy consumption and low emissions

SMS group combines blister- or raw-copper refining with a high-precision casting wheel into a single package—maximizing overall plant efficiency and throughput.

To further enhance fire-refining performance and reduce emissions, our anode furnaces incorporate:

  • Novel charging systems for streamlined scrap and matte feed
  • Automated de-slagging mechanisms to maintain optimal melt purity and ensure safe operation
  • Optimized furnace geometry and refractory lining for improved thermal management
