This press makes our machines look like a JOKE! You could probably push the 40 ton one under that and crush it into press pancake :D If you want to see rest of the production process for the giant gear that this part is going to be subscribe to our second channel for rest of the videos th-cam.com/channels/veB47lgzZJ1WOf4XYVJNBw.html
I can just imagine the crazy things you will be crushing if you had one of those
XD
you need to redo your press-ception video with that big boy
i just noticed the beyond the press channel banner looks like you're about to take out anni with that crossbow, and you're both smiling about it, lol
hey weren't you trying to get a 1000 ton press a long time ago? i remember seeing the frame being built i think. what ever happened to that?
This is impressive!
What a nugget.
The forklift operator is extremely skilled!
was just about to comment the same thing! I love watching people work who are experts in their trade and he absolutely is one
I want a video on that machine.
He was completely amazing!
we need a camera on the front of that thing
I want to see what it sees
if you like watching people killing it with heavy machinery check out the dude with the excavator at letsdig18
Shoutouts to that forklift operator. Their handling was very precise and effective.
Agreed
It's not surprising really, when you operate heavy equipment every work week for years it's like an extension of your hands. He's just doing his job, he's probably barely thinking about it because it's so natural.
was thinking the same, some good skills there
Omg! A comment from Bisqwit!
Came to say this. Watching that driver work was impressive. So smooth. So precise.
How about that forklift driver, he is a surgeon with that thing!!!
Yep! And the level of trust and cooperation between that driver and the press operator is pretty impressive too.
Absolute legend
Yes, I was also amazed at that.
Right. that dude running the grappler is a ninja
This!
Yoda could still stop it. When he waves his hand, it’s rated at 500,000 tons.
Please post a link to the Heavy metal music in this video! I really enjoyed it
You're looking for "Deaf Election" I think the main song in the vid is called Falling In Flames
"Yeah, I drive the clamp truck that manipulates the insanely-hot two-ton piece of metal while it's being crushed in the giant crusher" - where the hell do I get that job?!
Best thing was that they can rest every time around one hour when they put that back into the oven :D So bad ass job and really relax phase :D
you get it at componenta.com and go to careers
In the US, all it would take is a rich uncle to make "campaign contributions" to the president of the Teamsters union.
@Eddie Hitler You still need to be skilled,You can't be a dummy to do it
@@Pinkielover THIS..
If you have to ask....forget it..
The driver could prob pull off a surgery with that forklift
On a grape.
@@hlalakar4156 They did surgery on a grape! With a forklift!
@@thorvaldspear can you share video? I need it for personal purposes...
The guy who operates that pincer lift is an absolute artiste. I wept!
2:14 pro move
He has to earn the trust of the guy who assists on the floor. I think they communicate via radio, but even then there is no room for unexpected moves.
Dont cry. I know its beautiful but you must stay strong for the children sake.
@@TwoScoopsOfTubert truly amazing like he is playing with some cake that weights 100 grams
It's almost like a art
I love finding out new things about Kimi Raikkonen and his hobbies.
This gives a whole new meaning to "Hot off the press".
There is something very satisfying watching that scale flake off.
What is the scale made up off, is it metal or impurities
@@mikebeer1567 I think it's oxidation. Basically rust from reacting with the air.
@@mikebeer1567 It's mostly Iron oxides.
Yes.
@@mikebeer1567 it’s sort of both, it’s oxidized iron, but as you compress the molecules in the steel, it helps to pull impurities and air out of the piece as well. It’s why forged metal tends to be denser and stronger and generally of higher quality than cast metal.
The guys working alongside that giant sci-fi forklift are like..."Yeah, everything in my surroundings could kill me in an instant without even noticing, but my balls are heavier than the work piece, so that's cool".
key word: guys
Sounds like most of my jobs
@John Redcorn
Found the guy who cant get laid, everybody.
😂😂
If Sigourney Weaver had had one of those, the ending to _Aliens_ would have been rather anticlimactic.
Now THAT is what you need to put on the frozen lake! 😳😂
This is one of the cleanest and most organized forging operations I have ever seen, very nice! Great Video as well!
Here in Finland work places like that have to be clean and well maintained to prevent injuries etc.
How many forging operations have you seen?
@@chadachord1011 Plenty
Most of the ones on TH-cam are from India or China so this is a nice change.
Great video, I really enjoyed it. Anyone else have a strange craving for Pineapple slices?
If only that press had some ClickBait Tape and Lightning-Bolt high-voltage stickers.
what?
11:41 jacket and pants smoking after 3 seconds of being near that!
it is insane, I bet you can catch on fire just by standing too close to that thing
@@DolezalPetr oh absolutely you will burst into flames. I worked for 10 years in a facility that dealt with titanium. We would anneal 1000lb coils in a furnace at 1400 - 1600° F and you cant be to close for very long. This steel is hotter than that
Yes this is certainly the kind of workplace where you pay attention all day and put all your safety gear on.
my guess is that the clothes are doused in water, and it's not the actual fabric thats starting to smoke :)
@VeryBoredGamer i don't think they are naked underneath
HPC: you’ve just moved into new territory. Your previous ‘shows’ were mostly for entertainment, and we all enjoyed them, but this was purely educational. You have, in all your vids given your viewers around the world a new awareness and appreciation of the ability of the Finns to produce amazing things: for example I never knew that the - Wärtsilä-Sulzer. - the biggest diesel engine in the world, used in container ships, was designed in Finland, even though it is built in S. Korea! You are doing your country a great service. Keep it up! From Canada. I’d love to visit your country once we are all safe!
My dad does that stuff but at a way bigger scale, they make parts for coal mining trucks and submarines and spaceships. They make 70% of a submarine.
Perrrrkele, the driver of the scissor gripper thing has got some skills and flow! He probably does some rally in Keski Suomi:)
All the workers were super skillful there wasn't any extra steps or movements everything just looked really easy
@Eddie Hitler yet in the US they got the driver's license at 2 years younger age than here in Finland. Though my sister got the special driver's license at 17 because of long distance to school
@Eddie Hitler People in the countryside tend to do that, driving what we call "field cars" and farmers' children drive tractors at pretty much that age. It's illegal (on the road) but it's up to parents and what they allow their kids to do. Officially it's allowed to start learning to drive at 17 and even those who got the special license need to wait their 17th birthday before starting to practice on the road.
@@MF175mp I live in a fairly rural USA town and there are many farms here, so a lot of the children here start driving tractors and farm equipment around anywhere from 8-12 years old. So by the time they hit high school and get the license, they think they are god's gift to driving, when they are still just dumb kids.
@@CorbyCave as 18 years olds are dumb kids as well.
Everyone: Bored at home
Hydraulic press channel: you wanna see a bunch of guys squish a lot of metal?
Me: ok
yes.
Does a bear shit in the woods? Gimmieeeee
Does a bird fly?
And now you know why forged parts are so much more expensive than cast parts.
Much higher strength though! :)
@@katyungodly yup! Less material lost than machined parts too
depends on the part and the production volume, in automotive it's the cheapest why to produce parts, like supsension parts
How much do you think the forklift guy gets per hour?
@@paedahe4975 It’s Europe, he’s probably salaried.
Fun fact: the overbearing metal music is not added. It's actually created as part of the process.
That's how they make new people in finland.
It's staggering to imagine the work that has gone into building the industrial infrastructure that exists in the world today, just watching the effort to prepare this one forging for one large gear is amazing, how awesome it would have been to see the "shops" that produced the "heavy stuff" of 100+ years ago. Thanks for the video.
That's what I think when I see the skeleton of industrial days long past when driving through Gary Indiana. It's a massive expanse of huge shit that must have been insane to see in motion in its day.
@@CHmLgN This is very intense work; it looks amazing though. I'm just imagining the amount of work that has to go into like building tanks, manual operating arms for construction and such; huge things built in huge facilities like this... Even aircraft and then the additional layers and protection they have to put on those... astonishing; no wonder it costs to much if one peice is this detailed and worked over.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants
There are videos of locomotive factories putting together the engines. Man that is big, insane work. I love big machinery like that. Every time I go see a locomotive on display I think of the sheer madness of putting a pressurized boiler on wheels and rolling it down a track. Nuts!
@@darioinfini I agree, I also love what Stanley did with his little steam car. I was fortunate to serve (back in the 1960s) on three different ships in the Navy, two steam turbine and one diesel, it was an amazing (although not very pleasant at times) experience to work and stand watches in the engine rooms (down in the 'hole')...when in Sasebo, Japan for shipyard work it was always interesting to walk by the shops and see the heavy operations like the huge forgings, something I'll never forget...cheers
5:18 it looks like a big slice of carrot.
Worlds biggest slice of carrot
Delicious!
Pineapple ring of glowing hot steel
The forbidden vegetable
Really does, lol
The person driving the truck with the pinchers had some really intense skills. They were all very skilled at what they do, but the way those pinchers picked up things like they were tweezers was amazing.
It's called a pinch mobile
Yeah, the guy manning that forklift is like a freaking surgeon.
@@planescaped Are you kidding or what. doing that is nothing compared to becoming a precise excavator operator. People making comments about this stuff probably have never operated kind of equipment and probably don't even know how to drive a standard transmission car.
@@johnarnold893 And becoming a precise excavator operator has nothing on being a surgeon. I feel like you might just be a little salty.
@@johnarnold893 "drive a standard transmission car"
lol wtf do manual cars have to do with this? I only drive manual cars, and I'm really fucking impressed with that skill. Anyway, I find it weird when people brag about driving manual, it's a really weird flex. I mean, I don't drive manual so I can pretend I'm some kind of race car driver, I do it because they're cheaper than autos.
That is beautiful. I love when the slag cracks, and falls off revealing the glowing interior.
It's like a snake shedding it's skin
This was amazing. That lift driver knows his stuff. Thank you for showing us.
Looks like crushing the sun :D
Now I just want to see this press explode a 3 ton stack of paper.
Props to you and Anni and everyone at Componenta; this was a treat to see up close and I know it was a whole day of work to film, never mind edit! The tool for marking the part is called a stamp (in general) and maybe a proof mark in this specific case.
Some of my ancestors used to make those tools, along with other tools, embossing presses, dies, brands, stencils, casting patterns... Anyway, some they called stamps (e.g. "steel endorsing stamps"), some they called punches.
@@Charstring both my parents were toolsmiths so I'm a tool
I love watching the oxidation fall off, so satisfying.
I found it amusing how the press operator took off with his operating booth at 12:08😄
Me: a 28 yr old female English teacher who likes typical girly pursuits
Also me: intensely fascinated by hydraulic press machining and BTP explosion videos 😂
Hey. How you doone? You wanna go smash some split infinitives?
In a few years you'll be smoking cigars and shooting machine guns.
What is a "btp explosion"?
@@renecastro6110 btp beyond the press
I work at a steel mill. The videos I could show are incredible, but I can't. I'd get fired.
Oohf
It would be totally cool if management would let you.
Don't worry, we won't tell.
step 1: wait for the Hydraulic Press Channel to go to a steel mill
step 2: become a guest on this channel
step 3: start filming away
Well here a boring one.
Now that looks like some good Parmesan
So I'm not the only one who thought it looks like cheese. 😄
Forbidden Parmesan!
I thought it looked like a giant babybel cheese. After the hole was bored through it, I was reminded of a pineapple ring.
That's how the Finns make pineapple cheese pizza
This reminds me of the good time watching How It’s Made from Discovery. Something about listening to you narrating about the process while watching this clump of hell is so tranquilizing.

Next episode: 2000 ton press vs. giant ceramic bearing ball
A football sized one
Wait that’s actually a good idea
@@ZyloXDT probably they fear that the press breaks and that would be a valid concern to be honest. The impact is insane if 2000 ton force is released in a fraction of a second
@@MF175mp AW, DAMN!
@@MF175mp .....I still want to see it
Now this is heavy metal! :D
🤘🤘
fuck yeah 🤘🤘🤘 and really educational. I like this. Thanks guys ❤ and hello from Kronstadt 🤘🤘
To put into perspective how skilled the forklift driver is, I also drive one at my job, where I am known for being able to do very precise work at high speeds, yet I was still very impressed with that guy. He is amazing with that thing!
Haven't driven one in 16 years, but I could drive the stand up forklift behind my back. Like, I'd turn around in the platform and drive it with my hands behind my back. lol
Same here, ive got 20 yrs in and the small movements while the piece is turning as your holding it would take forever to get good at.
No kidding. It is as if he's making a clay pot but with a giant forklift and heavy-ass steel.
I drive a regular forklift (probably a lot easier to drive than that monster) and those casual little flips at 2:15 and 4:19 left me agog. This dude is *good*, and confident that he's good.
Wow, I was entranced by that whole process! Obviously the forklift driver stands out, but also the way the sheer intensity of the forging process speaks for itself without any camera tricks...the colors and textures were amazing.
The music was also an A+ choice, imo. Great video!
That was absolutely fascinating, cant wait for more like that.
Getting it back into a round shape was pretty cool. That's so skill required by the forklift driver.
I like so much when you say:
-That was pritti cool
dis comment was priti interesting
@@renecastro6110 your comant is pritti interesting.
@@renecastro6110 LMAO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Buffalo_Soldier You are amazing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The operator is low-key a surgeon this man can draw art with that machine
The work is so random 😂 they put a whole in something close to the center but not precisly the center, they flip the ring randomly, not 90 degrees, but something close, before crushing it, they « mesure » the whole in a so much approximate way... I hope the work didn’t have to be precise !
But well, still, good video and interesting to watch.
Surprising lack of gender diversity in this workplace. What's the matter women? Afraid of this job?
Honestly this kind of work is *extremely* skilled, and the fact that foundry work is looked down upon by a certain type of person is extremely insulting.
All work is skilled work. Be it cleaning hotel rooms, working a register, being a nurse, being an electrical engineer, or even sex work.
If dedicated jobs were easy anyone with a PHD should be able to do it, but it is very rarely the case that you can dump anyone with no experience on a "lesser" job and have them need no instruction, training, orientation etc to do that job as well as an experienced "unskilled" worker, let alone as fast
As a fellow steel mill worker i can agree with this. You can't read your way to these jobs; the only way is learning by doing but some people sure like to dumb it down just because it looks easy (or so they think, until they get handed the operator controls or sit in the forklift themselves)
@@pizzalord3n Absolutely, any job done well takes skill. Realizing that you couldn't do what others do is crucial, and knowing that if you *think* you could do their job without any training means you are ignorant of what their job entails.
Yup its sucks to be with an unskilled sex worker
Any reasonable person understands that every job benefits from experience and skill, but the amount of training necessary definitely varies. There's a reason "brain surgery" is the colloquialism for something difficult. Disclaimer: I'm not a brain surgeon.
Villager: best I can do is 1 emerald
The ingot:
Impressive mashup skills in this comment!
That's amazing! I never knew so much work went into it, I just assumed they poured molten metal into a mould and were really careful to control the temperature... But now I think of it, this way makes more sense for getting good quality strong material
they do but the end product is a weaker metal. pressing it like this actually compresses and aligns the crystalline structure in the metal making it stronger.
This is a forging, what you’re describing is casting.
Forging has advantages with strength and durability as it results in unbroken grain flow… it’s also expensive.
Casting is better for creating more complex shapes quickly.
Cast parts are made all the time, but this is how they make a FORGED part. You have to compress the steel so that the atoms of the metal all align creating a much stronger steel part.
@@jacobellinger8027 Well,there are new technologies wich do an even better alignment by casting,i saw it in Galati,Romania,where they are experimenting casting and use strong magnetic fields and some precise frequency of ultrasonic waves to do that. The result is a lot better purity of a 99.999(many of 9)% as the molecules have different mass and a precise align(star shape in this case). The problem they have is the material is getting fused with the mold at atomic level,so now they are searching for some nanomaterials to avoid that inconvenience.
@@draculakickyourass Is the new tech faster than forging to fabricate?
I was going to go on a long rant about assholes leaving thumbs down on a video to which they could never produce an equal , but, instead, I just want to express my appreciation to Anni and Lauri for getting up at 3:30 in the morning to drive 2 and a half hours in the snow in freezing temperatures, just so some pawncy twats can see it as beneath them. And, if you don't believe me, check out Anni's channel th-cam.com/video/kZMZtLlBaSg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AnniVuohensilta.
I just really hope that you guys, Anni and Lauri, know how much we, the non-pawncy twats, appreciate the effort you put into making these videos.
So good I watched it again and was just as interesting as the first time. Something primally fascinating about watching enormous machines and men with enormous balls to operate them.
That forklift operator was the star of the show, wow! Some skills!
It's like a baking recipe for the most intense doughnut ever.
You can try it at home, you just need to add some powdered ghost chili to your doughnut recipe :D
Guaranteed to be hot and intense!
Now that's team work, i love how the press operater has his own little viewing room 😂
WOW! they did all this efford and build this giant glowing piece of steel, just for you to put it on a a frozen lake? :-D
I want to see a Terminator try and crawl thru that Press....It would not leave anything to save for future movies.. He would be a Stainless steel stain on the platen!!! ha!
"Here ve haf 3 tonnes of red hot steel...it is veeery dangerous,so ve must deal with it."
That's the most beautiful red-hot metal I've ever seen in my life.
I’ve been working with gold and silver most of my adult life and I still love seeing them in their molten state. It’s like liquid opal.
The way the guy was handling the machine was amazing. Like an extension of ones self. Reminds me of a mech!
Reminds me of the Powerloader from Aliens.
any metallurgists out there?
how does the impurity concentration within the pieces that fall during the crush compare to the core piece?
Are the guitarist and drummer regular employees, or is that just a sound overlay?
Watched the entire video even though I was "pressed" for time.
you must be a dad
I've seen steel cast, hammer forced, but this is beyond anything I have been able to imagine. I can't believe the workers walking so close. The giant robot claw is almost as amazing. I have never thought of machines as sexy but this is pure art and sexy.
Nice! Now that we have seen how a giant washer is made, imagine the bolt and nut that go with it. :)
That was literally my conclusion...
WTF IS IT?
@@JETJOOBOY probably raw steel to be machined into a gear or some other part.
@@JETJOOBOY The description under the video says it'll be shown in a future video. :D
How much steel is lost to the surface oxidation when press is used ??? Thanks
this guy driving the little pincher thing is a fucking surgeon with that. mad props
This was fascinating. I've seen other videos of big billets being worked, but you've done a great job explaining everything in this one. Thank you.
Hydraulic press: I can compress a ball bearing until it explodes!!
Hydraulic forge: Cute. Now... 1:06 WITNESS REAL POWER!!!!
Funniest thing is that the infamous bearing ball would survive even this press :)
Forbidden pineapple be like:
Omg you are amazing and you can do what ever you want to do to get as many subscribers as we can give so tell me how many are your goal
See what is possible with fossil fuels? I'd like to see anyone do this with solar panels or wind power.
Was it unbearably hot in that place? I imagine it was.
60 years ago when Ford Motor Co allowed tours of the steel forging & stamping areas, i was able to do that tour. We weren't on the floor of course, but close enough from a viewing area to feel that heat. It was astonishing to me. My dad worked there, with the still molten metal. A few stray drops went right through the toes of his reinforced boots..
1:31 i want that music link. Like now it sounds like a real banger.

@@20motu08 Thanks
That mill scale falling off is oddly satisfying.
Finding it also oddly infuriating and oddly terrifying as well.
Flintstone car Tyre . but in steel
What is the purpose of a hydraulic press lmao besides weird entertainment
"Sledge hammer and tool" in English is _sledge hammer and tool._
I think he meant the name for the tool which I would imagine is just stamp or die or punch.
I liked this one.
HPC: we have most powerful press
The metalwork factility : *hold my hydraulic liquid*
They actually use water on that press as an hydraulic fluid
@@HydraulicPressChannel so it wouldn’t overheat? Quite smart
@@HydraulicPressChannel Water? That's awesome! I wonder how they keep the water from boiling, considering the temperature of the steel being pressed :O
@@HydraulicPressChannel for safety reasons? Oil mist spraying on or near red hot metal could be bad!
@@HydraulicPressChannel water is better than oil for hydraulic press?
This is like those relatively short forging videos we see from forges in China and Japan, but the commentary, music, and editing make this an absolute joy to watch. More! Please!
Heavy metal music in a metal forging video The irony is thick
That operator is amazing. It doesn't even look like he can see what he's gripping half the time.
Don’t they add a dark protective filming on windows on forklifts that are meant to do this
He's wired into the machine permanently for more precise control.
that red hot steel piece oftens look like a huge and heavy piece of a fine swiss cheese
The hotest peper jack cheese
_F O R B I D D E N C H E E S E W H E E L_
I used to work in a steel shop and our largest press was for pressing sheets of steel, so we didn't have anything like what was in this video. Thanks for giving us a look at a really cool machine. I like seeing the areas of the industry that I haven't seen before.
Look at all that open space in that shop. Just think how many used milling machines and fishing boats Timo could fit in there. :)
This is without question the most satisfying video you guys have ever made. And I love that giant insect-looking forklift.
This, people, is how civilization has been built. Salute!
Imagine dropping that on that frozen lake.
Or trying to blow it into the air with the help of those explosion guys.
wossssssSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh
Me everytime they pressed: *P R E S S M O R E*
Just so everyone knows...this isn't your average forklift. These are designed to make very small and accurate movements with hardly any slack in the system. Id be in awe of the engineers work more than the person they built it for to use. Engineering is amazing.
Thats nothing, but a nokia 3310 in there and that press lose.
Is the stuff that comes off when it's first pressed considered slag?
11:00 For some reason I now crave sliced pineapple.
Looked like some damn good grilled ananas for a bit there
I had never thought about a 2000 ton press being a precision tool before :)
years of experience behind operating it
It was like a giant Polo the mint with a hole lol 😂. Thanks for sharing
11:42 was the guy's clothes smoking from the ambient heat? Wow
