Rautomead’s graphite furnace technology remains the benchmark for ultra low oxygen copper and conductor alloys, offering producers the flexibility to cast CuOF, CuMg, CuSn, CuAg and CuP on a single platform. For more specialised applications, its patented “RSL” sealed lid system enables precise alloying of materials such as copper chrome zirconium, supporting the manufacture of welding tips and fine drawn wire where exact composition and consistency are critical.

The company continues to drive innovation in sectors where reliability and performance cannot be compromised. In high speed rail, Rautomead’s “RS 3000S” has become the trusted workhorse for CuMg conductor rod, meeting the stringent quality requirements of modern overhead line infrastructure worldwide. And with the launch of the IC 400, Rautomead is extending its metallurgical capabilities into cobalt, nickel and iron alloys for advanced applications demanding exceptional strength and stability.

Beyond technology, Rautomead emphasises long term partnership: from training and servicing to rapid global spares, toll casting, control system upgrades and bespoke scrap feeding solutions.

Visitors to “wire China 2026” will find not just machinery, but a commitment to precision, innovation and dependable support across every stage of the casting process.
