Metallurgical Equipment
The converter is the main metallurgical equipment used in the copper smelting process to treat blister copper. Its primary function is to convert blister copper produced from the flash furnace or bottom-blown furnace into molten crude copper.
The converter is almost entirely installed horizontally, known as a horizontal converter. The main feature of converter blowing is that it does not require fuel; instead, it relies on the heat released from the oxidation reactions of iron, sulfur, and other elements in the blister copper with the air blown into the molten bath to provide all the heat needed.
