Refining and casting are connected stages
The anode furnace performs fire refining before casting; the casting wheel organizes mould filling, cooling and take-off. Review their interfaces against metal supply and casting cycles
Review anode and mould requirements
Review anode geometry, target mass, mould design and cooling alongside take-off, transfer and downstream handling. Process design and technical documents must establish actual parameters
Prepare the process brief
Provide feed sources, operating schedule, flowsheets, plant layout, utilities and off-gas interfaces. Qualified specialists must confirm molten-metal and cooling-system engineering
