By: sales@rossmetals.com Mixing…after the materials are fully “cooked” or made to flow like “soup”, we insert a graphite rod (pre-heated) LIFTING: Lifting…is the most difficult part of the operation. The crucible is at its weakest condition and special care must be taken. The weight is multiplied several times due to the distance of the crucible to the operator’s arms. Crucibles are handmade of clay and graphite. POURING: Hand Pouring…is an old speciality craft, still in use at Ross Metals. Special fluxes are in use to aid in the smelting process. The precious metal is poured into a graphite mold. After a few minutes, the material cools and then solidifies. The bar is removed from the mold by simply turning the non-stick graphite mold over and letting gravity do its job. ELOCTROLYTICAL: Electrolytical… scrap in scant minutes. The large one can handle 20,000 DWT, while the smaller ones are used for the various size lots that are submitted, as well as platinum. The adjacent generator can power a high-rise building. Speed and efficiency are what these smelters are all about. Special Fluxes are always in use to aid in the smelting process. End
