1980年12月,奇德—克瑞科(Kidd creek)炼铜厂的阳极浇铸工段投入试运转。该工段采用一台23B型哈兹列脱(Hazelstt)连续浇铸机,连续浇铸出铜带,再用一台冲压机将铜带冲制出阳极。生产实践表明,用这台设备,阳极的月产量己超过11000t,1984年上半年,平均每月生产阴极铜9548t。现己证明,这套设备的性能十分可靠,能够稳定地生产高质量的薄阳极。 In December 1980, the anode casting section of the Kidd Creek copperworks was commissioned. The station uses a Hazelstt 23B continuous casting machine to continuously cast the copper strip and punch the copper strip out of the anode with a punch press. Production practice shows that with this equipment, the monthly output of the anode has exceeded 11000t. In the first half of 1984, the average monthly production of cathode copper 9548t. It has been proven that the equipment is very reliable and capable of stably producing high quality thin anodes.
