This computerized anode casting wheel at Magma's San Manuel smelter, continuously produces precision weight anodes of 800 pounds each. They are the end product of the smeltering furnaces and are 99.7% pure, but must be refined to even greater purity to meet requirements of the electrical industry. The wheel delivers 60 tons of anodes per hour.
