Indeed great video, but some subtitles would have been nice to explain what is being done. I work in the metal industry, so for me it is obvious, but many more would benefit from seeing these. Also, this video could be shortened to 4 minutes as there is a lot of the same, like showing the palleting robot over and over.

@@JaakkoF Very good point. Subs would be a valuable addition.

Ya really no need for commentary as it is obvious what is going on. A very satisfying video to watch!

i disagree, it is a bag of shit vid, you do not know what is going on, Subtitles explaining, wouldn't go a miss

@@greenfingersgardener822 You really can not see that they are smelting scrap aluminum and making ingots? You can not see that they cool them before they bundle them to prepare them for shipping? Would you like me to repeat myself since you have trouble catching on to things?

I was thinking the same. Very smart solution!

Zero splash... Can something like that be used in urinals?

@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 Probably overkill, unless you piss liquid metal?

@@77gravity you don't? :)

@@Perfectionist519 I shit bricks, will that do?

Right. Pretty mind-blowing

i feel you man the amount of dumb asses on here

@@housebat8797 you're feeling him? That's gay.

@@MadMax-yq9ix ay man troll on troll talk here can you not talk about my gayness its a bit private to me ok

First day..I don't know but the plant is certainly new. Maybe a few months old perhaps. These guys have their routines down like clockwork. For the rest: A Grade A operation they are running there!

It always wears out really fast. When your done, all you do is break even. Too bad the machines cant recycle themselves.

With the amount of overly dressed people in safety vest id say its first day

Or at least first week.

@bruce mcclendon The video does say "Recent installation of Full Scrap Metal Recycling Plant..."

Most companies have their ingots stacked that well.

Mold whacker lol *hammer arms*

WTF! Back off Evanoff. We like the way they painted it. Mr. know it all. Go eat a cheeseburger.

By the stupidity of this design i hope?

It's an Aluminium recycling plant! In the beginning shredded Aluminium pieces were poured in.

I don't think there would be much dust at all Saravana. There is no milling, grinding or anything really to produce dust. Hence no dust masks.

The drives are designed to be installed in dusty/dirty environments, if installed without an enclosure. All automation PLCs, electronics and wiring are also protected as per electrical codes. Some sensors will require periodic cleaning but it's no big deal. Modern automation is very reliable and, in most cases, easier to troubleshoot than old relay logic. A plant like this requires less maintenance personnel than an old plant. Obviously they need an engineer level person to maintain, troubleshoot and modify the process control equipment.

As Info: McKenzie N.I. Ltd, Lame & Belfast. Name was on the cab of the Haulotte materials handler (Haulotte, made in France)

Warning signs are in English so it must be in the British isles. If it was in US the signs would also be in Spanish.

might be as simple as underweight

@@Mishn0 That device appears to scan them so I think they are being rejected for impurities.

Pretty sure it has sensors that reject based on visual and size for bundling purposes

Where? There is a high-tech? Have a video of that factory

Recycling aluminium is very profitable. Aluminium from raw ore is very expensive and takes a lot of energy to refine and produce pure Aluminium. It only takes 5% of the energy to recycle vs from ore - "The price of virtue". The Economist. 7 June 2007.

Like UltraNoob said it is much more cost efficient to recycle and you dont need those extremely enviroment harming chemicals you need for the raw ore refinery. There are some documentaries here on youtube, where you can see the huge mess they have with the seperation of the aluminium minearls from the bauxit ore. And you can also see what happens if they do it wrong.

Probably porosity picked up by the yellow X-ray(?) m/c

Anthony John Or the mass was out-of-tolerance. I speculate that since they are ingots which will be remelted, porosity might not be a reject-able defect.

Could be misshaped, ingot needs to be able to stack nicely

Android Man Look at all the equipment, it all looks brand new so I’d say it was a new factory and hasn’t accumulated that much dirt yet. Give it time lol.

with time it will look more original

They sell them

I', sure they are sold to a variety of manufacturers to make anything aluminum.

Funniest comment. And add an outdoor furnace with heated swimming pool while your at it.

They are kind of hard to melt down

*skynet

P.S. That stacking machine looks like the Disney Pixar lamp. ♡ T.E.N.

Because it's brand-new. Come back and check in again in about 6 years, you probably won't recognize the place.

That’s what I was thinking.

Looks to be a recent build. < 6 months old.

They have kept the smelting separate from the pouring, including that big intermediate molten tank. A wall in between, and just a continuous flow of molten metal going through, almost no slag except new oxide. Dirty side, clean side. Many industries and businesses could learn from this. And house designers too. Keep the place you sh*t separate from the place you get clean. (and a hand basin with the toilet). Same for food safety - clean and prep one side, ready to eat on the other - no mixing, one-way traffic.

They might have known the cameraman was coming.

the banding robot has a better union

Sometimes people are cheaper than machines.

Yes, an automatic banding machine at the point the forklift was working. And with some rollers and pneumatics to move product to the loading dock, you could get rid of the forklift too.

@@mememaster147 Shit job !

And the dross removal by the modified fork lifter

right I make gold furnace I know it

The forklift is from Northern Ireland judging by the markings on it.

Aluminum. If it was lead the whole setup would be very different due to environment and safety laws.

@@taunteratwill1787 I thought it looked a little but too clean to be lead,and not heavy enough process to be steel. Thankyou for the feedback.

lead doesnt clank like that

@@jeep2003 Yep lead is a dull slap eh. Cant mistake that tinny clank of aluminium.

Big A Is it aluminum or lead? ' hi B A... aluminum is a lighter weight than lead

no, they were flipped and added to the stack for handling purposes.

I think he meant the ones that went through the yellow unit (scales)? and were flicked to one side.

@@scroungasworkshop4663 You would think they were underweight or something but you would wonder why it would matter much as there couldn't be that much variation. I suppose if they are sell buy the stack it must have to be spot on.

@@sydneyshinshi Under mass but still at the correct tolerance height wise means they are porous, so remelt and recast. Over mass means there is going to be a loss, so redo. The finished pallets have to be within a well defined mass range or the buyers will reject them, as they expect a certain mass per unit pallet, and do not ( except for QC checks) actually weigh the pallets.

@@SeanBZA I knew somebody much smarter than I would know.

I'm reminded of robots that stack. : )

that was a glitch in the matrix

@@VaporheadATC I think it's closer to a dollar three-eighty.
