Our international experts are passionate about electric smelters and submerged-arc furnaces for TiO2 slag, CaC2, minerals, refractories, ferroalloys, silicon, and non-ferrous metals. This is a field where SMS group in Düsseldorf and Metix in Johannesburg pool their know-how for your benefit.

What makes electric smelters for special applications particularly challenging is that they are usually tailor-made to meet unique requirements. That's why, we have, in recent years, engineered and supplied the core equipment for units producing CaC2 slag, TiO2 slag, and hot metal, as well as fused magnesia and dephosphorization furnaces.

SMS group supplies the whole range of technologies for the production of primary copper including smelting furnaces, converters, anode furnaces and equipment for electrolysis.

You’ll find our horizontal continuous casting plants ideal for high-grade extrusion billets, cold rollable strips, wire rods, tubes, and bars, above all from copper and copper alloys.

Our vertical continuous and semi-continuous casting plants for copper have become synonymous with maximum efficiency and operational safety. They are ideal for manufacturing slabs and extrusion billets. Depending on the casting format, you can achieve outputs of up to 150,000 tpy.

Our copper cold rolling mills ensure you can produce high-quality copper, brass and bronze as well as semi-finished goods. Depending on the product range and the required annual capacity, SMS group develops and erects the right mill type for roughing, intermediate and finish rolling.

Whether you want to produce anodes, wire rods, tubes, or semi-finished products - we supply all the equipment you need for copper rod plants. Our porfolio includes integrated process technology such as CONTIROD^® and compacROD^®.

We supply all the equipment you need for the production of copper tubes. That includes integrated process technology directube^®. Working with us means you enjoy a partnership based on expertise and the assurance that all your components mesh perfectly.
