Tavy@ it reminds me of clark hunters in paisley scotland. They had a cooperage plant as well that i worked in and a totally admired the coopers for the skill they had alone when makeing 45 gallon whiskey barrels and the hard work they put in as well as skill. The geometry in it alone was amazing. It was all about the eye. Coopering was classesd more of an art than a trade! Then they could make the 250 gallon barrels wich were at least 5ft tall. A wid say maybe 5ft 5inches tall. They were called hogs heads or butts if i remember right. But the 3 years a was there they hardly made those big 5ft 5inch barrels. A thinck they were dieying out. It was mostly the 45 gallon barrels they made. To watch a cooper make a barrel from scratch looked hard. But there was so much more to it than that. When ye saw them stareing at the barrel ye never knew what they were thincking or going to do next. I would say its the hardest trade i have ever saw physicaly and mentaly. They couldnt even get it wrong by 0.5 millimetre. Or it would leak. and even less than that. Plus there was just so much more to it. They were well paid. Then there was the oil drum plant next to it. The diffrence was from this upload clark hunters would put the drums through a burner after cutting the tops of them becouse they had to be perfect inside and outside. That was class A drums that whent into the burner. and class B drums were washed out as you see here on the machine. But it was a really dirty manky job. And hard most of the time. The drum plant was a bit easier becouse the drums were alot lighter. My father worked in the drum plant in the 1970s to 1981 when there was a big pay off with at least 15 men or more getting paid off. !!!!!!!!!!

Good work.

Peace be upon you. I have a small factory in Egypt. I needed to benefit from your extensive experience in this field. I wanted to know the materials used in cleaning oil, glue, and these chemicals for barrels and tanks.

Alot of the best machinery here to recondition the drums. Even with an oven that 4 drums went into at the same time, then another 4 drums about 5 to 10 seconds later and the oven was big, it took at least 16 drums. And the drums had to go through the oven slowly to dry the paint. When they went up to the loading bay they were still hot but dry.

what chemicals they use to clean the insides?

My interest my work my country India

Alot of the jobs in the drum plant side wer really really dirty and heavy going. But there was some easy good jobs in it to as you saw there. The smell inside it was sickening and strong. It was mostly the smell coming out the machines that cleaned the inside of the drums plus the painting section as well and just the smell coming out of the drums that wer still to be cleaned. Plus the class A drums got the lids cut of them to then be placed upside down and put through a burner that burn the inside and outside and the top, becouse they had to be perfect inside them. Then once cleaned and put through a blaster to make the metal look brand new before they got painted a machine put a brand new lid on them.

What would the costs be like to setup a plant like this.

I am verry interested to instal to india

wiry good plant ples inf infrom this barrel plant baject

My job very very interest help
