Top Blown Rotary Converter hits 50 melts
CAPABILITY UPDATE: Top Blown Rotary Converter hits 50 melts
For producers and refiners seeking a competitive edge in metal extraction and refining, our Top Blown Rotary Converter (TBRC), which has now completed over 50 melts, offers a transformative solution.
The TBRC is a high-performance furnace tailored to the needs of modern metallurgy, supporting mining and metals producers and refiners achieve operational efficiency, add value, and pursue sustainable metallurgy.
The TBRC helps maximise metal recovery from complex feedstocks through dynamic refining control, to process residues, sludges, drosses, and intermediates. It allows pilot-scale simulation of smelting and refining operations, real-time trials of impurity deportment, flux behaviour, and mass balance validation, and testing of alternative reductants, fuels, or slag formulations. The TBRC enables control over metal purity and residual impurity thresholds, and the homogenisation and refining of intermediate products.
Companies can develop in-house or near-site refining capacity, maintain supply chain security and flexibility, and integrate further downstream. The TBRC is excellent tool for valorising metallurgical wastes, reducing landfill, emissions, and chemical waste outputs, enabling sustainable reprocessing of smelter slags or legacy stockpiles. It can accelerate R&D and technology commercialisation by testing of novel metallurgical approaches.
We have state-of-the-art analytical laboratories, equipped with a comprehensive range of high-spec instrumentation. Our labs support precise material characterisation, process development, and quality assurance across all stages of the metallurgical workflow.
The TBRC offers a future-ready solution that delivers measurable results. To explore how this furnace technology can elevate metallurgical performance and support sustainability goals, get in touch.
