    This document describes the continuous copper strip production process which includes three main steps: 1. Continuous casting is used to produce round rods from cathodes in diameters of 12.5mm, 16mm, and 25mm up to 5,000kg coils. 2. Continuous rotary extrusion machines shape the round rods into strip or wire sections at rates between 500-3,000kg/hr depending on the machine and product dimensions. 3. The strips then undergo draw/roll straightening and cutting to final lengths up to 6.0m for applications like busbars, transformers, and profiles.
