Recylex Group announced that the hot commissioning phase of its new reduction furnace at the Weser-Metall GmbH lead smelter has begun as initially programmed. This commissioning is scheduled to last several weeks, during which a complete set of tests is to be performed to ensure that all systems are operational and technical adjustments are to be made. Only after the successful ending of the hot commissioning phase, Weser-Metall GmbH will start the ramp-up phase of the reduction furnace's production, which is currently planned during the third quarter of 2018.
