For over 20 years, Anyang Younengde has stood as “The Global Leader in DC Smelting,” specializing in the R&D, manufacturing, and custom solutions for DC submerged arc furnaces. At Younengde, we deeply understand the pain points facing the ferroalloy and non-ferrous metal smelting industries—whether it’s struggles with ferroalloy composition control, production capacity limits, low utilization of low-grade ores, or the non-ferrous sector’s challenges with low metal recovery, high energy costs, and stringent environmental regulations. Leveraging this expertise, we’re dedicated to transforming traditional smelting practices with cutting-edge DC technology, serving as a trusted strategic partner for global smelters aiming to cut costs, boost efficiency, and achieve green transformation.
As a pioneer in China’s DC smelting industry, Younengde’s core strength lies in our deep expertise in DC drive technology and sharp insight into industry needs. We don’t just supply equipment—we integrate 20 years of technical expertise and over 920 successful project experiences into every custom solution, making “stability, efficiency, energy savings, and compliance” the hallmark of our products. From small-to-medium smelters to large industrial complexes, and from domestic operations to international partnerships, Younengde’s DC submerged arc furnaces have earned widespread recognition from customers worldwide—proving our commitment to “technology leadership and global empowerment” through real-world results.
Exclusive Empowerment for Ferroalloy Smelting: Stable Composition, Sufficient Capacity, and Cost-Effective Raw Materials
For ferroalloy producers manufacturing ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochromium, and other alloys, product composition precision directly drives market competitiveness. Our DC Submerged Arc Furnace eliminates composition fluctuations at the source, thanks to its stable DC arc and submerged ore smelting design. The furnace maintains a uniform internal temperature field, achieving alloy composition control accuracy of ≤0.5% and reducing rejection rates by 15%. This lets you easily meet custom requirements for high-end alloys and capture opportunities in the premium market segment.
When it comes to production capacity, our equipment enables 24/7 uninterrupted smelting—eliminating the frequent shutdowns and arc adjustments that plague AC furnaces. A single furnace boosts daily output by 20% compared to traditional systems, perfectly matching the large-scale mass production needs of the ferroalloy industry. Notably, it offers exceptional raw material flexibility: it can directly smelt low-grade manganese ore, chromium ore, and other low-quality ores without fine beneficiation. This cuts raw material procurement costs by 20%, turning “waste ore” into valuable resources and significantly expanding your profit margins.
Core Advantages for Non-Ferrous Metal Smelting: High Recovery Rate, Low Energy Consumption, and Easy Compliance
For non-ferrous metal smelting, the core goals are boosting efficiency, increasing revenue, and controlling costs—and our DC Submerged Arc Furnace delivers on all fronts. Its high-temperature, concentrated, and stable arc environment minimizes oxidative burn loss for metals like copper, aluminum, and zinc, pushing metal recovery rates above 98%—an 8-10% improvement over traditional AC furnaces. When processing copper anode slime, tin dross, and other wastes, it also enhances the extraction rate of rare and precious metals, ensuring every ounce of raw material delivers maximum value.
On cost control, the furnace boasts a natural power factor of 0.95-0.98, eliminating the need for additional reactive power compensation equipment and cutting electricity consumption by 20%. Additionally, submerged arc operation reduces electrode oxidation, extending electrode lifespan by 35%. For a 1000kVA unit, this translates to annual consumable cost savings of over RMB 300,000 (approximately $42,000), delivering precise, measurable cost reductions. Environmentally, the submerged arc design drastically reduces unorganized flue gas emissions—lowering smoke concentrations by 40% and cutting carbon emissions per ton of product by 60%. This ensures easy compliance with environmental regulations and aligns perfectly with recycled non-ferrous metal recovery policies.
Universal Guarantee for All Industries: Low-Cost Upgrade, Full-Process Support
We understand cost concerns are top of mind for smelters looking to upgrade. That’s why Anyang Younengde offers a minimally invasive retrofit program for existing AC submerged arc furnaces.
