The main defence between watch this in real life and on a video is that you can literally feel the electric arcs through out the steel mill..unless you have worked around an eaf you can’t appreciate the raw power that is making your senses tingle in a steel mill
Never worked as a mill operator but I've filled vending in one......one break area right behind it.......first time I was there for the start of the sequence I about 💩 myself.
I was once a millwright in a mill in Indiana loved the work and still hold it near and dear to my experience of life. If I werent to old would love to go back. Thanks for letting me relive my favorite job ever
Our furnace cranes are contolled with remote boxes. They have cabs but the windows are now covered with steel. I run a 310 ton ladle crane on the other side of the wall.
As Casey Smith said previously our furnace cranes are cab driven able but due to safety concerns never were so are driven off remote box only. Our 270 ton Teeming/Ladle crane is cab driven. Two very different animals to master.
300T, wow! I'm struggling to learn how to operate a 180T Hot metal crane. They expect us to go fast and I can't be smooth and fast. It's only been a week, but it's stressful to say the least.
Steve miller yes it was big differences. But if you are willing or interested, you can be a license hot metal crane optr. Same as me, i started 25 tonner, 120×80, then the final 300×80. Sure you can because you are certified crane driver now.
So how do the workers get out there and work? Obviously the entire room is unsafe to be in with that kind of fire and flying embers but I see walkways so do people come down there later on when it's cooled down?
That's just for the Christmas party and the annual magic show will they make things and annoying people disappear. They have a drawing for a permanent vacation you just take a ticket out of that big bowl over there..... Make sure you swish it around good so you get a random number. Also have your bags packed cuz if you win you're not coming back.
Lmao, I literally stand next to the EAF at my work while it's on, it's the slag that'll get you, molten steel runs off your body but slag that shit sticks like napalm, just gotta be mindful and aware of everything around you
It sounds like you're not very professional in your role at least. I think you are talking about icy or wet material here which is why the basket should be heated before charging.
Well can tell ya one thing bud its a fucking steel mill so your gonna have explosions and molten going everywhere and fire going everywhere. I used to work in an aluminum foundry and they looked down on it. So I get what you're saying but this is steel. Once you move up to it from aluminum you will understand its part of an every hour thing whe. Dropping these charges and ours are from the box not in a cab. Only ladle cranes and scrap cranes where I work are the cab cranes in the melt shop. But on the melt deck we run from a box. Standing 20 to 30 foot from that furnace when dropping a charge. Shit happens.
The furnace I worked around was 600-1100 volts ( massive soft starter plus auto tapping transformer) at over 100K amps .. I believe the electrodes where 24 inches in diameter.
Yeah and then you wouldn’t have an operator at all for your eaf so then you’d be down, this is why you’re not the supervisor bud, get your ass up in a crane and you show us how it’s really done cause I’d love to see you do any better.

How much do you guys charge for body disposal?
Spent 22 years in the mill some Good Some Bad, go back in a second if I could ! 😁

I operated all the cab cranes in our steel mill ! Don't think I'd like the remote Box crane much carrying 80 tons of liquid steel !
@@GMCTIM It's only our EAF Charging crane that is remote driven, our hot metal crane is Cab driven even though they are similar cranes.
That was...METAL!
All I can think of is Foundry from Pro Skater 3
And then trying to kickflip into the big moving bucket of molten metal just to say you could
Looks like a sweet gig
ah so this is was hell looks like
I wish our plant let us move that slow.
Steve miller it was the designed speed for 300 tonners hot metal crane, thats why cannot move fast.
300T, wow! I'm struggling to learn how to operate a 180T Hot metal crane. They expect us to go fast and I can't be smooth and fast. It's only been a week, but it's stressful to say the least.
Steve miller hahaha you need to gain more confidence to manage comfortable, in that way your speed will come automatically..
I agree. But, I know Hot Metal cranes are way different than anything I've ever operated before. They are in a league of their own.
Steve miller yes it was big differences. But if you are willing or interested, you can be a license hot metal crane optr. Same as me, i started 25 tonner, 120×80, then the final 300×80. Sure you can because you are certified crane driver now.
do you ever process the precious metals out of metal or is that already separated before dumping?
I loved the fireworks at the end
That's how you know it's working
So how do the workers get out there and work? Obviously the entire room is unsafe to be in with that kind of fire and flying embers but I see walkways so do people come down there later on when it's cooled down?
Jay Thompson unsafe? *laughs in steel worker*

oh neat I always wanted to see the Clinton Foundation archives. 👍
"I am hot metal crane operator.."
Your crane is on fire...
Super job,
As someone who works at a smelter in a high level quality role, this is an absolute disaster. You NEVER add cold metal to molten metal. Ever.
Doesn't it get warm just by virtue of the fact that it's above the Heat I mean we don't know how long it was sitting there....
It sounds like you're not very professional in your role at least. I think you are talking about icy or wet material here which is why the basket should be heated before charging.
We do it all winter long my friend.

Hot & cold do not mix for sure ! A major explosion for sure !
How It's Made: Hell
I am also meltshop crane operator in ksa.
I love my job.
How much does this job pay....im getting ready to take on this job at a steel plant in ky
@@carybaker7334 saudi riyal. More than 10000.
A bit more recording of the fusion would be better, and of course: in horizontal format
I had to work on those cranes. When the braides wire cables the charge crane and. Ladle cranes are all days jobs of nothing but sweat and work!
I meant wheb we had to change the wire rope
why does metal produce so much fire? are the impurities and flamable materials going in?
It was because of scrap. Pure D.R.I or H.B.I will not produce so much fire.
What kind of voltage/current is making that arc?
According to Wikipedia, a mid-sized modern electric arc furnace puts out 400-900 volts and current in excess of 44,000 amps.
It's the current that'll get you
The furnace I worked around was 600-1100 volts ( massive soft starter plus auto tapping transformer) at over 100K amps .. I believe the electrodes where 24 inches in diameter.
The old charging crane
THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!!
Hi ..Can you share electrode connect videos?I suppose you are connnecting with the machine.
Selim danışmaz, ok i will make video for changing electrode just wait for it...
We was connecting ours on top of the furnace with the wrench. They finally got the machine in
Aqua Boss we are using picarde system for electrode change..

Dare you to throw a water bottle in there
Do you hear the hum in the background the is the arcs of electricity
Damn hope theres killer ventilation in that place!
Places like that typically have enormous vacuum systems in place.
Is this plant shut down?
Nope! Still in operation..
So you just hate your lungs eh?
I hope your ac is working ok
Looks like a charge crane operator to me..
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm a hot metal crane operator, but we do drop charges when our scrap crane goes down.
If i get close enough can i light my cigarette
Mind if I smoke? 🤣😂🤣😂😂
Iam jop
ok, whats with the electricity? is that how you heat it up?
It's an electric arc furnace , check out this one th-cam.com/video/0L_2i9cbH_I/w-d-xo.html
Can not so hot people also be metal crane operators?
Probably helps if you're cool
Charge crane operator
Why did it take him so long to dump? If I was the EAF supervisor that operator would be gone.
Yeah and then you wouldn’t have an operator at all for your eaf so then you’d be down, this is why you’re not the supervisor bud, get your ass up in a crane and you show us how it’s really done cause I’d love to see you do any better.
I want job
send me $500 and i'll job
They could probably use a blower.
You got any blower job experience?

You should think about a different job with a better atmosphere, I recently lost a friend that did that same job of cancer
Cancer's a real deal the industry hides well. (As I'm currently sitting in a ladle crane).
Worry about you please long as you’re ok stop telling people how to make money
