Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start a copper strips manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Copper strips manufacturing requires raw materials such as pure copper or copper alloys, which are first cast into large shapes like ingots or billets. These are then processed into strips by hot rolling and cold rolling, with the latter often starting from a copper wire rod.
A copper strips factory typically requires melting furnaces, continuous casting machines, hot and cold rolling mills, annealing furnaces, pickling and cleaning lines, slitting and cutting machines, surface finishing units, and quality-testing equipment.
The main steps generally include:
Melting copper cathodes in induction furnaces
Casting molten copper into continuous slabs
Hot rolling slabs into thinner sheets
Pickling and cleaning rolled copper surfaces
Cold rolling to achieve desired thickness
Annealing to improve ductility and strength
Slitting, cutting, and edge trimming strips
Packaging, storage, and distribution
Usually, the timeline can range from 12 to 24 months to start a copper strips manufacturing plant, depending on factors like site development, machinery installation, environmental clearances, safety measures, and trial runs.
Challenges may include high capital requirements, securing regulatory approvals, ensuring raw material supply, competition, skilled manpower availability, and managing operational risks.
Typical requirements include business registration, environmental clearances, factory licenses, fire safety certifications, and industry-specific permits. Local/state/national regulations may apply depending on the location.
