The making of every ingot
Combines Pyro (reduction & oxidation) and Hydro (electrolysis) processes to produce ultra-pure silver powder and 30 kg bars.
Refinery Mud and High-Grade Metal undergo reduction and oxidation to form cupel alloy and BBOC anodes.
BBOC anodes undergo electrolysis, enriching silver and producing powder.
Silver powder is melted in an induction furnace and cast into 30 kg bars.
Melts and casts zinc cathodes sourced from Dariba & Chanderiya, producing ingots per customer specifications.
