Copper Plant

Champion manufactures DBMC bricks using high-purity raw materials such as seawater magnesia, fused magnesia-chrome co-clinker, and high-grade chrome ore. Advanced mixing and pressing systems, coupled with firing temperatures above 1800°C, ensure superior direct bonding and structural integrity. A special post-firing treatment is employed to optimize spinel formation, resulting in high room-temperature strength, reduced permeability, and excellent resistance to fayalite-containing slags.

These refractories exhibit outstanding resistance to sulphate attack, corrosion, and slag penetration, ensuring longer lining life and stable furnace performance.

Copper is produced through various smelting processes, including Outokumpu, Mitsubishi, and ISA-SMELT. Champion provides complete refractory solutions for all these processes, supplying materials that perform reliably across key furnace zones.

Applications include:

• Flash Smelting Furnace
  
  
• Pierce Smith Converter
  
  
• Slag Cleaning Furnace
  
  
• Anode Furnace
  
  
• Trough Converter
  
  
• Rotary Holding Furnace
  
  
• Converting Furnace
  
  
• ISA Furnace
  
  

Champion’s high-performance DBMC bricks and monolithic solutions are proven to enhance furnace efficiency, reduce downtime, and extend campaign life in the copper industry’s most demanding environments.
