Custom Metal Range Hoods made of Copper

Among other metals, custom range hoods are produced in our facility in central Mexico from recycled copper. Our purchasing department gets a lot of supply from copper wire factory as well as small businesses delivering anything from electric wiring to old vapor heaters.

We have at our plant a number of employees removing any other material but copper including plastic insulation from the supply. Then copper scrap is melted in industrial ovens. In the process all remaining non copper material separates be either burning or as other metals due to a different weight. Why it is important? If there is any other metal within a copper it will brake up during sheet production causing necessity to melt the piece once again.
