To be fair to these guys, it’s one of the factories the better maintained and clean with recent-ish equipment I have seen on this channel. Next steps would be protective gear.
Holy crap. 😳 I've worked in a Aluminum die caster in the USA, and the way those guys got so close to the furnace @2.25 to @3.00 was crazy! That's literally face melting hot!
Idk why people keep talking about saftey. Sir/Ma'am they dont care abou their life span, Its survival for them. All that matters for them is the have enough money to have food at night and buy some medicine for their parents. Idk what world you guys are living in but this is the world we are living in.
This is from Pakistan. These people make as much money per Week as you'd spend on lunch. (Dollars or Euro). There are No Labor Laws, Worker Safety Standards, or Environmental Protection. These people work so they & their Families can live as best they can. That's why you see young kids in there as well. (U.K. & American records on Child Labor history of The Industrial Revolution are pretty much what it's like there).
We have an aluminum recycling factory near where I live and I got a tour and the difference is night and day. The aluminum comes in 4'x4'x4' bales and I would say they had around 20 thousand of them about 15-300 foot rows 10 high. They would be picked up and "sprung open" then picked up by a Bob cat loader and fed into a huge shredder. The shredded scrap was fed by conveyor to a huge washing tank that held about 5 bales and agitated in a cleaning solution for about 15 minutes, then another conveyor to a huge spinning machine that sprayed clean water onto them. Then they were dropped into a hug bin that was picked up by a for lift. The fork lift dropped the bin off that was then picked up by an over-head hoist and fed into a huge furnace. A lot of additives were tossed in to make the aluminum "aircraft" grade. after about 30 minutes in the furnace, the molten aluminum was poured into a huge 600 gallon iron pot that then traveled by over-head hoist and poured into block molds. After about 45 minutes in the molds, they were turned over onto plates and stacked. Then off to a "annealing" oven at 500 degrees for 12 hours. Then they were taken out, stacked and left to cool for about 6 hours with a bunch of huge industrial fans. They called the 25 pound aluminum blocks "slugs" They tested several slugs cutting them into "test strips" in a compression machine, bending machine, impact and finally a test that heated the aluminum to specific temperatures doing a "heat integrity" test looking to see what temperatures the aluminum would lose specific structural integrity. They were working on a 360 ton order for a Japanese construction company. The factory was spotless and every employee was wearing white safety suits, gloves, yellow vests with helmets, eye, and hearing protection. The factory had 5 emergency eye wash stations, a full body wash down station, and burn room. Yep a bit different....
Metallic alluminium contains insane amounts of stored energy, comparable to its weight in TNT. If the moisture gets into direct contact with the molten metal while the protective oxide layer is not present, it can release all that energy at once. Metallic explosions are no joke. I am surprised that these guys are able to operate without serious accidents. That "Inshallah" protective technology, they are using, must be serious.
I guess for windows this is OK to use a mystery aluminum. Through melting process is similar to what I do at home so not exactly "factory grade". In the west we no longer use regular aluminum windows.
На донбасе я видел сталелитейное производство , работу мартенов , прокатчиков , прокатное производство на блюмингах , работу электропечей , доменное производство , коксохимическое производство , я с большим уважением отношусь к людям этой тяжелой очень вредной для здоровья героической профессиии . Небольшое добавление , всегда удивляюсь , это видимо пакистан , как они работают на таком производстве в тапочках сандалиях .
Man they all look so happy to be there, and im sure they'll all live past 40 with those healthy rejuvenating toxic fumes that they are constantly breathing.
Because there are so many Indian workers, everyone has some role in factory. Some are looking what others are doing and each separated part has its own worker. All hand made :D
I get a kick out of these disparaging comments in here, making fun of the working conditions and product quality; these comments are posted using tablets and other devices that are manufactured with metals sourced from these very places they make fun of.
I love how these operations always start fast and furious with melting down tons of metal, but by the time you go down the line it's like 5 finished pieces per hour.
Put a table at the mouth of the furnace so you can slide in the metal, and reduce the risk of splashing, you want the most amount of control when melting metal, a sudden introduction of moisture WILL create a steam bomb.
For the love of God get these men some safety equipment. Though I'm sure that those pajamas they're wearing are super comfortable, play something tells me it's probably not the best protection in a scrap yard.
Great video! Amazing work! Great to see how the process is done! I really hope the owners can invest in some safety garments for the workers, it pays back in the long run!
Dioksyne being an organic compound would burn completely at this temperature, and at any rate... Well, lemme put it this way: "modern education shining through, innit?"
my first thought is: why do they not use a conveyor belt to feed in the scrap aluminum? it would be better for the workers not to have to get so close to the furnace!...especially since the smoke from the plastic bags is blowing in their face.
I am glad they are wearing safety sandals.
Thanks!
@@AmazingGlobalSkills Thank you!
Glad to see everyone is wearing their safety sandals.
So Glad to see they are using the Super Very Good Indian Safety Sandal.
To be fair to these guys, it’s one of the factories the better maintained and clean with recent-ish equipment I have seen on this channel.
Next steps would be protective gear.
I always like this safety sandals.
Seeing people wear sandles next to pouring aluminium is just mind blowing. You only get one set of feet. You can't replace them.
Always support recycling industries👍

Well they got a fan duuhh😅

Turning Aluminum into "Square Steel Pipes", truly, an amazing skill.
Thanks!
Which specific aluminum alloy is this?
Yes
I love all their safety equipment!
Appalling work conditions - this is why so many of our consumer goods are cheap. Other people risk their lives to produce these products.
14:42 very nice to see how pall mall remaind the workers how effective safty sandals are at protecting their feet.
Glad everyone had their safety sandles on
Dunno... most of them wear sandals, looks to me...
I see working conditions over there have improved. Some of them even had gloves.
Yes, safety is always important.
Good to see everyone is wearing the mandatory safety flipflops.
I have to admit that in India people are good at industrial production and genuine manipulation. I really think they are very good
I bet 1st flip-flops lost on the moon will belong to Indian astronaut...
It's amazing that there are no accident considering they are almost not protected.
It’s nice to see guys who really love their jobs
I bet the workers here handle the heat incredibly well. In such a harsh working environment, their passion for the job remains strong-truly admirable!
Thanks!
I love all the OSHA approved safety sandels.
17:11 new Tesla cybertruck chassis being made.
Very nice 👍 but very hard job.Thank you very much sir.
Most welcome
I'm sure they will plant some trees to be 100% carbon neutral🤓
Working with molten metal, open toed shoes would also be my first choice. 😅
This is the thoughtful improvement of processes and safety precautions unlike many. Keep on improving guys.
I feel bad that these men have to work under deplorable conditions, however, I have a great deal of respect for how hard they work!
Thanks!!!
Todo trabalho , enobrece e dignifica o homem ! Deus os abençoe .

It’s interesting to see the different approaches to aluminum recycling.
Pick one:
1. Work in an office 12 hours a day
2. Stand in front of a furnace for 6 hours a day

Throwing an unsecured load of metal into a furnace without eye protection is wild.
Just as I suspected the furnaces are run on solar and wind energy😂😂😂
They're got Number one for safety standard of manufacturer in the world.
17:47 when you tell your boss it's a 2 man job
Its not aerospace grade aluminum, but i guess it works for a curtain rail and stuff like that.
God Bless These Working Men who work tirelessly everyday to feed their Families. This is how the World is built.
If you're ever feeling down about how you dislike your job, just watch this video and ask yourself if your job is really that bad.
Уж на таком-то производстве я бы на их месте точно обулся в закрытую обувь ))
Man, that is TRULY Woola-Woola-Walla-Walla!
Это страна у которой нет своих залежей апотитов!!! Куда наш алюминий пропал??? Раньше он у нас стоил копейки, а теперь на вес золота!!!
Раньше я ради алюмяшки и не нагнулся бы, чтоб поднять.
Кажется, ваше золото очень дешевые... ;-) Есть ли оно сделано с использованием золота вообще?
23:00 ... of course I do not need any protective gear whatsoever. Its just acids and some other reactive chemicals for surface treatment. ...
Thank you for your hard work and skill
My pleasure!
I guess for windows this is OK to use a mystery aluminum. Through melting process is similar to what I do at home so not exactly "factory grade". In the west we no longer use regular aluminum windows.
Good documentary this shows the future of American manufacturing 😅😅
And then I was like...no way they putting the plastic on by hand!!!! How they keep it from snagging.... So many questions raised and answered 🤠👌🏼
It's a very skilled process!
looks like they are wearing safty sandles
If you could just sell some if those ingots to invest in clean snd new enviroment thst would be gr8! Good job on the recycling
Thanks!
Pakistani hard working people.

Сейчас на Донбассе больше такого больше не увидите, освободители уже от всего освободили.
They look as happy as UK DPD drivers!!
Mr.Krabbs level of cost cutting🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man they all look so happy to be there, and im sure they'll all live past 40 with those healthy rejuvenating toxic fumes that they are constantly breathing.
2:15 good to see there are special Filters that clean the chemical smoke... just kiddin,,,, mother nature have to deal with this!
Aluminium for Boeing?
Yes.
These guys will never see 50 years old
Pierwsza odlewnia gdzie pod nogami jest równo i czysto. Bravo
Thanks!!!
Because there are so many Indian workers, everyone has some role in factory. Some are looking what others are doing and each separated part has its own worker. All hand made :D
03:02 Bless you!
Индийская металлургия в тапочках, amazing последствия сопутствующих травм, печальное зрелище
Nothing but quality here
Long sleeve shirts and long slacks seem to be the norm for protective gear in this country. At least most of the workers are wearing gloves!
How they work in silence and in a great harmony . Everyone knows his job
I get a kick out of these disparaging comments in here, making fun of the working conditions and product quality; these comments are posted using tablets and other devices that are manufactured with metals sourced from these very places they make fun of.
Bless you😊
Tony soprano would like that furnace, 10 minutes no evidence, not even the dentures
Вы заметили что они переплавили профиля, чтоб выплавить профиля?
That’s a clean and well managed operation.
Serious stuff.. Now you see the difference between West and rest of the world.
I love how these operations always start fast and furious with melting down tons of metal, but by the time you go down the line it's like 5 finished pieces per hour.
I always wear sandals while i smelt 😂
Best way to do it
Put a table at the mouth of the furnace so you can slide in the metal, and reduce the risk of splashing, you want the most amount of control when melting metal, a sudden introduction of moisture WILL create a steam bomb.
Metal recycling is too risky job. Thanks for your suggestion.
Czysto, bezpiecznie, jasno. Bravo
Good work gentleman
We appreciate your support!
14:34 special cigarettes for this factory: „smoking or working here - you can loose your foot, so why not work and smoke simultaneously?”
Hay lắm các anh làm thủ công nhưng sản phẩm vẫn đẹp
Thanks!
Q: What is the alloy of your flat stock?
A: Yes.
For the love of God get these men some safety equipment. Though I'm sure that those pajamas they're wearing are super comfortable, play something tells me it's probably not the best protection in a scrap yard.
the tolerances on these extrusions seem quite large.
14:41 whats up with those packs of cigarettes, and why do they have rotten dead body feet on the front?
Its country requirement.
Great video! Amazing work! Great to see how the process is done! I really hope the owners can invest in some safety garments for the workers, it pays back in the long run!
Thanks for watching! We are always working to improve our safety standards.
Очень трудолюбивые люди!
Nice puffs of dioxine
Dioksyne being an organic compound would burn completely at this temperature, and at any rate... Well, lemme put it this way: "modern education shining through, innit?"
Hard working dudes making $5 day
hardly 5 dollars.
my first thought is: why do they not use a conveyor belt to feed in the scrap aluminum? it would be better for the workers not to have to get so close to the furnace!...especially since the smoke from the plastic bags is blowing in their face.
Nice suggestion.
Aluminum with a little bit of plastic flavour :-D
That’s some high tech process.
*new raggity upload* me: Its safety flipflop time!
Do they make steel toed, open toed sandals? Open steel toed redwing sandals.
Väldigt miljövänligt...undras om det blir 7075 eller 6062 av den soppan...
3:02 Bless you.
When you want 63% pure of alloy yes
7:55 nice protective gloves... and nice protective flip flops
Safety is paramount.
Where are these workers? These certainly aren’t the ones that came to Canada
A full-face shield would be nice!
