Russian Copper Company¡¯s Kyshtym Copper Electrolytic Plant announced that a new production record for 2017. The company produced over 128,000 tons of copper cathodes, up 5% from 2016. The record high production output at KCEP is largely due to rising productivity of blister copper at Karabashmed, which supplies KCEP with raw materials. In 2017, the Karabashmed plant raised its output of core products by 7% against 2016 to 120,000 tonnes.
Mr Andrei Kudryavtsev chief executive officer of KCEP ZAO remarked that "In 2016, the plant became fully reliant on its own production of mineral raw materials used by RCC, obviating the need for external supplies of copper scrap. In 2017, the company stocked up sufficient quantities of anodes to ensure uninterrupted production of cathode copper."
In 2018, a large-scale upgrade campaign will continue at KCEP. The construction of two additional pot lines of 40 baths per line will put the company in a position to raise cathode copper production capacity by 15% to 140,000 tonnes per year. Development of copper wire rod production will enable it to turn out 140,000 tonnes of copper wire rods annually, up 40% compared to the current figure.
