No disrespect to the hard working men in this video. They're busting their butts in horrible conditions hoping to make it home safely. However, these are the people we, as the American workers, are competing with! As a country do we believe in living wages and a safe work environment? Were told that we can't compete in a global market. Not hard to see why!😢
You sir, are correct. The only way to compete with that is to make about twice what they make (it still cost a lot to ship that crap here), and work under the same conditions. As dirty as everything is, I can't believe they are getting good welds on that. It also looks like several of them will be blind after a little while too.
They get it done and don’t complain. They work with what they have and we are stuck in a cycle of over regulation and red tape that’s why china is our biggest competitor
Precisely , and china is even worse, mind you i'd rather work there than the bs safety rules we have to abide by. Slowly all the tools and equipment is being taken away in my company because someone in another plant got hurt on one, lathe gone, mill gone, ladders taken away, all contracted out now

Great workers and getting it done with antiquated equipment.You have to give those men credit. I would send that factory some welding googles if I new where they are located free of charge.
The reason places like these can produce cheaper products than westernised countries is because they can replace men cheaper than replacing proper safety gear. Here in the UK you need boots, googles, hard hat, ear protection just to watch the workers work excluding the 3 hours of safety training prior to viewing. And also missing from this scene is the health & safety officer, the quality control officer, the heavy equipment officer, the pre fabrication manager, the product manager, the materials inspector.....need I go on? Yes 200 years ago we were producing similar in similar ways but we threw all that away with unions and then political correctness and/or profiteering ............our own fault[s].
"Hey Google, how much does a 5/16 chain hold?" Google; About 5,000 lbs. "Hey Google, how much does a roll of steel weigh?" Google: Up to 60,000 lbs. 😮 "Hey Google, are available in Indian and Pakistan?"
Yes, I noted no welding helmet, even though It was not just tacks, he welded the whole strip with No helmet, I bet his eyes are going to be sore tonight. Even something as "Basic" as that.
I bet those guys pray daily to make it home alive. Or at least not to lose an arm or leg? Steel mills are to dangerous when they have top notch equipment, much less using leftovers from 10th Century.
I certainly admire the work ethic of these men. This was the way manufacturing was done here about a century ago. I wonder how they can get the quality of the product to exacting standards needed in today's construction.
Clearly this is in Pakistan or Bangladesh judging by the cloths that some are wearing. It appears that machinery and building were from when Britain ran the country. Its also clear that very little maintenance to the machinery or building has been done since then. I would guess that the steel comes from ships that have been disassembled. They must be given credit for working with crap gear and making a product that is no doubt cheep. What amazed me the most was the man welding without a mask.
I worked on 72 in slitter in Detroit and we ran like 24 coils per 8 hrs, some days more , everything was automated, only time you touch the steel was to mic the slits of steel,

What is amazing is that the occupational health and safety procedures are still in the 19th century and I can't see any maimed or crippled workers. I used to be a roll forming machinist and one of my assistants tried (recent refugee on government subsidy program) to kill me deliberately with a 5.7 tonne roll of coil on an overhead crane and I itched the underneath of his nose with my steel cap boot (inspired by Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon). He was asian had a background in martial arts and only stopped his dangerous carry on when he was challenged by someone with superior martial arts skills. We later became friends. That would never have happened if we had such "amazing" skills and workplace...
3:13 I think I would’ve gotten the axle first with the crane, put it in the coil, and then brought it to the fixture to be unrolled. That’s two Riggings versus three. But you could argue, it is longer distance to travel and that crane seemed pretty slow so maybe it’s a wash.
As I watched the video that was my first thought. It seemed the slow way of getting the job done. That being said, note the way they lifted the axle with hooks in the end of the axle. That would not have been safe with the coil on the axle due to the large weight of the coil. They would have needed different rigging and that would have cost money!

When you buy any product you should try to look into the source of it and then decide if it was produced in an ethical manner.
Incredible ! The people who were able to build and set up these machines to make the finished product are incredible!

Why would they film that?
Real safety standards there
That factory ,sounds and people look like from movie TOTAL RECALL
OMG
Very nice video
OK...
so.in the final step at 25:00, how are the two sides of the tube fused together?
Is there a continuous electric arc or what else please???
That's what I was watching for and didn't see any welding?
Yes, between those rollers, it is fusion welded, and then the carbide tipped tool scarfs the excess weld off.
I certainly admire the work ethic of these men. This was the way manufacturing was done here about a century ago. I wonder how they can get the quality of the product to exacting standards needed in today's construction.

Watch these Pakistni clips that is not uncommon,, premium equipment is using a hand held sheild that is only 50 years old.
Maybe they were closing their eyes hopefully
Very experienced video good
A building with some of the roof, this factory must have been built by the British or the French.
British, it’s Pakistan I believe.
good job
Would have been helpful if they showed exactly how they squared the steel. Very disappointing.
They did, the 4 roller sets with no groove.
Basically the same process as round tubing, just different type of dies.
What country is this ????
Someone put, Pakistan.
Pakistan zindabad. 🎉🎉🎉
В Пакистане очень сильно развито протезирование глаз, поэтому все сидят и смотрят на сварку...

I worked on 72 in slitter in Detroit and we ran like 24 coils per 8 hrs, some days more , everything was automated, only time you touch the steel was to mic the slits of steel,
Same here but in South Carolina. Only time the machine stop was to change coils,knives, or different cuts
Nice clean plant. A+
Usual noise but I put loffy on the back, you know if they replace those paddings on the machine maybe you could get a higgerquality on the cut
7 minutes in, they finally have the roll on the stand. There's probably a solid 10 min of content in here
Good help is hard to find , especially when you're paying pennies an hour . 🤷🏼♂️
Ohhh....so they make it as a round welded seam pipe first and then they form it into a steel tube. Interesting.
Yes, you have to get your Maths right to start with, so that you end up with Square tube and within some tolerance.

I doubt it as I seen a plastic bag….not sure when plastic bags came out 1962-64?
Wait, I've seen this one! Doesn't the Road Runner get whacked by a rogue piece of steel that says ACME on it???

Square Steel Pipe??? I think you mean Tube?
what is the sheet material
Cold Roll steel
Recycled rusty ships.
It would be interesting to know the incident and accident rate?
Kind of hard to tell when the round tubing was actually turned into square tubing and the continuous welding was not really visible either
