I am from India Maharashtra Mumbai .I belong from leather tanning community .leather tanning business started from my grand parents . I had saw these process felt very nice to watch these video
Alhamdulillah just took me to my Dads Tannery. He always believed in vegetable tanning, but with time had to move forward, so upgraded his tannery with all these types of machinery imported from Italy, and the surrounding of this tannery is exactly the same, surrounded by ponds, agriculture, ... etc., but the process does not end here we even manufacture good and garments, [ my brother's department ] these processes are all so much in my blood because grew up watching and learning the business. Great video everything in detail, nothing is flawed and left behind so many details sufficient enough to learn the process through this video. Thanks to the entire team hope to meet you guys sometimes later.
Hello Nura Zackaria, im also interested in starting the tannery business, is there any supplier you can recommend?, i'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
15:34 "this is a near by stream poplated with local fishes. it is not the one we dump all the toxic chemicals in" fr though, was very informative for my random curiosity and i am very happy with the simplicity of it while still going in depth enough to satiate my curiosity.
Great video. I love leather products and defend the use of it. It is a byproduct of meat and leather use has been around since the dawn of man. I see nothing wrong with the use of leather. I refurbish second hand leather bags and a good leather bag is durable for a long time if well taken care of. Thank you for this great documentary. :)
Excellent video. I am in the city of Franca, SP - Brazil. A shoes manufacturing center and educational center for workers in shoemaking. Thanks for your video.
woow what a video !!!! I have never ever seen such kind of beautiful,interesting, and helpful video on tanning process. And thanks to all of laborious persons involved in tanning process.👍🙏☺
They just gave you the common sense rundown. Same thing I saw on Dirty Jobs. I haven't actually learned a thing... What liquid are the hydes soaked in for the initial wash? How long are they tumbled? What's the tumble speed? Is there a limit/minimum on how many you should have in one drum? What effects do these variables have on the finished leather? I haven't even finished it yet and I hate to comment before completing the video, but this is the way it's going. I love when people say you can learn anything on TH-cam...
Hello, can somebody help me? I have a question about the process. At 2:22 it was said the hide is removed from the drum ''to be flashed and trimmed''. Is it the same for most tanneries? Is it possible to finish tanning without removing the hide from drums between pickling and tanning? I will really appreciate your help.
From what I've read Chrome tanning is not environmentally friendly as byproducts are quite contaminating, what is done to mitigate this at Optima Leathers?
@@iamallaboutfood7242 I hope some of those chemicals can be recovered and used again. The supply is finite ... not infinite. And would save the environment.
@@AmericanBusinessman422 Nope, apparently from one of the comments the liquids go through a special water purification plant. It would be nice if they could re-use some of the salts. The supply is finite, not infinite ... Would be interesting to see that process and have it explained in detail.
Yes, lots of work which is exactly why one should take very good care of one’s leather items. A good quality leather cream with a good bit of lanolin content and a gentle PH balanced leather soap as needed.
Sir make a video how to start a lather factory how much land money needed for equipment and what's the price of equipment wihich equipment is good or bad make explanation on both the small and the big leather factory please sir I am from India and make some videos on Indian lather factory
at minute 15:39 .... sorry i leave in Arzignano Area but i never heard about baccala' in our rivers, baccala can be found only in our restaurant as it is in reality cold fish .. i doubt that it can leave in river... i think you meant to do a joke....
Animal activists are against the use of leather. Isn’t it better to use animal skin instead of just throwing them after the meat is used for food? Thanks for a better use of animal skin instead of them rotting in landfills.
Animal skins are 15% of the total value derived from most farm animals reared for meat and leather. Not using leather would kill demand for hides causing farmers to hike meat prices which would discourage meat consumption in-turn. Not everyone needs to go vegan. Not even most people. We just need to be responsible about where we get our protein in relation to its impact on the environment. I eat fish every day. I eat chicken once a week and red meat once in two weeks. This is a very good diet. People may or may not need animal protein to survive, I don't know. However, we do know for a fact that we don't need as much as we're consuming.
@@varun009 I love meat, and can’t imagine living without ever eating it again, however, it’s terrible for the environment, and I can probably go for a week or two without it.
*Optima Leathers* *Question:* Would leather dyed a black colour, be cheaper to buy in the finished product, in regard to other colours like, beige, red, blue, etc.? Thank you in advance...
I don't work for Optima but I did work in the trade some time ago. Actually achieving a deep true black through dying alone is quite difficult to achieve. We kept our dye formulations a trade secret especially for clothing leathers. However, what we also did was redye black our failures, the stuff we couldn't get correctly color matched or samples we'd done which ultimately we weren't going to put in full production. That you could probably get at a lower price as long as you wanted at least 2 or 300 sq ft minimum. Back in the day we also sold cheaply into the former USSR so as to maintain prices in the US and European markets.
@@tomroland2315 Thank you Tom for that informative feedback. I just assumed that it was cheaper for Vehicle Manufacturers to trim their vehicles in Black, be it leather or cloth. I guess I came to this conclusion, as virtually all vehicles across all brand names and model variants we find are trimmed in black, and but a few up market models in the luxury range, trimmed in Beige leather. My biggest gripe with vehicle interiors having black trim, is that it gives one a closed in feeling, whereas a vehicle trimmed in a lighter shade of beige or even light grey gives an air of spaciousness. Cheers...
Well designed video by optima leather. I do wet blue leather selection in India and my dream to work in leather industry in Italy. My humble request to optima leather can I get a chance to work in Italy leather industry. , and I do many others work in leather industry like toggling and staking and many more... Thanks for this video....
that is how you get shit "leather" that is not leather on the surface, not real leather grain, not real tann leather color. Nothing interesting about its pattern, wearing a jacket made from this and you can say you never touched leather, but plastic coated, synth dyed, fake grain, chrome salted material. and it gets worse, most of what they sell is the lower half split part, the lower piece which is embosed and coated, and most stuff you buy is the bonded leather, the shavings grinded to paste glued together and embosed and coated again.
Then stop eating meat, and cheese, and butter, and drinking milk, then we will stop using animals and consign them to history like all the horses that we no longer see now that we have tractors, trucks etc.
max factor sticky no, smelly? Well ya a little bit in the very beginning stages. Once the excess fat has been removed and the skins go through the preserving process then their is no real smell other than that of well leather. One of my favorite smells.
Terrible production. Too much loud music that I don't want to listen to and I'm having to lower and raise the volume to hear what you have to say. Disliked.

This is amazingly awesome!
Amazing! I work with leather 12 - 14 hours a day. I had no idea so much went into it. Hmm the things taken advantage of huh. I'm grateful!
If you're a leather worker, I imagine people must think the same when seeing what goes into your work.
work too long.

Great views of the process. Not a lot of details...but its a competitive industry isn't it. Love those drums.
In New Zealand we do it a lot better and faster

I will really appreciate your help.
Fleshing is necessary for removing unnecessary flesh from the hides, to make them even and also to open up the pores to help in chemical penetration.
From what I've read Chrome tanning is not environmentally friendly as byproducts are quite contaminating, what is done to mitigate this at Optima Leathers?
Did you not see the part where they talk about the water processing plants? I guess you didn’t come here to watch the video, only to comment.
Chrome tanning is actually cancerous. The treatment is about as good as the water treatment in Flint Michigan.
amazingly clear!!!!
So what happens to the chrome salts and heavy metals for the non-vegetable liquor tanning?
It's in the video, close to the beginning. All the tanneries in this area have a shared water treatment plant that manages the waste water
They pour it into the local landscape
