White Solder - Rondônia
The success of White Solder`s, started to be made feasible and materialized in 2001, with the beginning of the activities of White Solder Metallurgy and Mining – second company of the Group.
Incorporated by TOR Participações in 2008, the company arises due to the need to guarantee the supply of Tin with quality and quantity desired for the Solder and Alloy (White Solder RP and AM) factories, within the standards of quality, demand and traceability that these companies needed.
One of the main foundries in Brazil, its specific function is to melt the ore of cassiterite, transforming it into Tin (Sn).
It is a meticulous process of production where the ore is deposited in electric reduction furnaces, whose specific function is to “reduce” the ore of Cassiterite (SnO2) in Tin (Sn), which means to disaggregate the Oxygen of the tin particle, than transforming the ore in metal.
Crude tin, as a result of this “reduction” in the furnaces, passes through a series of other specific equipment, where the other metals are separated from the Tin, than removing all impurities. This allows the tin to reach high purity levels that meet the most diverse international standards for this metal.
White Solder Metalurgia e Mineração Ltda. Is in the expansion phase to increase its production capacity to 6000 tons per year, which will transform it into one of the largest foundries in the world.
