The Fascinating Process of Making Fencing Wire in Regional Australia 😲

In this video, we'll be taking a look at the fascinating process of making fencing wire in regional Australia. We'll be looking at the different types of high tech machinery used to make the wire, as well as the different types of barbed wire and stiffstay used in fencing. We'll also be looking at the hinge joint and chain link manufacturing processes used in regional Australia.
If you're interested in learning about the fascinating process of manufacturing in regional Australia, then this video is for you! By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of the different types of high tech machinery used to make fencing wire in Australia.
This week we are lucky enough to get a behind the scenes tour of the Whites factory in Albury. Matt, the factory manager takes us through the manufacturing of barbed wire, chain link, hinge joint and "Stiff Stay" mesh. We get to see the advancements in manufacturing that allow new fence configurations and custom orders to be manufactured, along with standard lines. Matt's passion for manufacturing and improvement have also seen the factory become more sustainable and efficient to allow Whites to manufacture a quality, competitive product in regional Australia.

Good to see an Aussie company doing so well.
It's something that isn't going to stop being in demand so hopefully they stay producing for a very long time.

Great vid!!

[@jasonac]

Thanks Tim and Whites for letting us see that. Big money in those fancy machines, I'm suprised how small it was, obviously not a huge demand for wire here in AU. or do they have other plants elsewhere?

[@FarmLearningTim]

Small but efficient... has to be. It’s a family business

[@ironclay3939]

Ok good to see you guys using some of our old machines, now I've thumbs Up so can I have some top end long gap goat fencing please.
Oh and please do the video on how the goat fence works
"stand back and throw a bucket of water at the fence, walk round the other side to see how many goats would have got through".

[@FarmLearningTim]

Haha yeah.... check my “Ultimate fence?” Video for that test exactly.....

[@MikeJones-vt9fu]

Where the feed wire is made before it is knitted up into prefabricated fencing is crucial. The Australian made feed wire is a lot better than the imported stuff.

[@skidmarkscar9082]

We’re do you get your formers, of galved wire from?

[@ashleydavidson8715]

Great clip Tim. Where does the actual wire come from?

[@FarmLearningTim]

Wire is a global market of multinational producers. Some I saw was Australian but also Indonesia, etc etc. All of it complies with Australian standards and is tested. Simple fact is that a family company can’t afford to build a smelter and there is not enough capacity in Australia to meet demand.

[@jesperbering8895]

Hello Tim, what's the best cattle wire in Europe you know.? Great video.

[@FarmLearningTim]

Hey mate. Give James Holden a call. He’ll set you straight! m.facebook.com/holdenfencing/?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBLiTo4n3B9NYCmZMr3cHcEx4X8NNNgyPjseun17yUVTJS8IoQuPc5uH4iRbLA4PZeni1dndfQYMs8hAq4-WDOB8TPSB7ZWwP5HhJpvIrwDlIuhChJgu0xKEwRLVfaPGyMDgkMLYz0hdyyxdEPfkTSCKfdf-HPuYCVqHDvo1ZFP0yA3nop8wL01Ye-JxNLV18itTyjEPC5lrnK6_iIJs5nZyP-PeStJ5gH0A82U5JaUw6PqxXgpNy5gZ_n_Kam6wzVB3wvlbaum3sdU71weEDEq6m1RhsybYqjVco2I_maWVgHO-DYv_JC0imiAfB4S4ss96Ci1fZTuCEBnxJsXnuk56lzq say G’day from me.

[@Peter_Monti]

I would prefer the Galmax products it's better quality, great video otherwise.

[@torstenmeyer2905]

When will they be forced to change their company name? Bwahaha
