Estimating the term…
A production line for manufacturing metal strips made of copper or copper alloys by means of casting and rolling. In order to lower the investment cost and operating expenses therefore, the melt is cast into a copper strip in a vertical and/or horizontal continuous strip casting process, and the hot copper strip is cleaned by milling the top and bottom face thereof, is subjected to a cold rolling process, and is prepared for shipping, or is subjected to an inspection and then prepared for shipping after being annealed, pickled, washed, dried, and optionally temper rolled.
A production line for producing metal strip from copper or copper alloy with at least a melting installation, a casting installation, and a rolling installation, preferably for cold forming from 23 mm to 0.2 mm copper strip thickness, wherein the melting installation is followed in succession in the direction of production by at least one vertical continuous strip casting installation and/or one horizontal continuous strip casting installation, a milling installation immediately downstream, a strip uncoiler, a cold rolling installation, a strip coiler, and an annealing installation.
