That is a good operator. Watching him pick the cables out individually along with all the other components is real talent and experience showing. Impressive to watch.
I don't have the problem of lacking a 10mm socket. I don't have a 6 pack, but I DO have multiples for "just in case" one goes missing. (that 10mm 6 pack DOES sound like a great idea, though. let me know where to invest)
I worked in product/materials development for 10 years prior to retirement. We developed materials and systems of assembly for the blades for these monsters. They do not lend themselves to recycling at all.
Very impressed with the operator. My company used to sell these machines and it takes a light touch to use the shear to grab a windshield and pull it out with the same tool used to cut through an axle.
A very skilled operator. I find it strange that the bumper covers, head and tail lights were not removed so they could be sold to body shops. Those are high demand items as they are easily damaged in a minor fender-bender. Al_in_Ottawa
Stelco Steel had a process where they crushed a car down (sans engine) by putting it through a set of rolls bringing the thickness of the car to about a foot high, then feeding the slab into a massive hammermill that turned the entire car into cornflakes. Had a 3/4" thick steel wall around the operator counsel for prevent shrapnel flying in. Magnetic belts separated the iron/steel bits.
Clearing timber for fire mitigation near cities (think Denver) is often done with a jaws like nibbler that takes bites out of a tree in 1" increments. In 30 seconds a tree that took 7 or 8 decades to grow goes down. The stumps look crazy jagged. You can hear the machine a mile away. The operator's cab is encased in thick, clear plastic. One would guess the vibration causes a lot of operator turnover.
I was waiting for the operator to pick up a 10mm socket from where he had just disassembled the car...now that would have been funny!...good operator though!
wonder how long it takes in real time?
ReplyDeleteThat is Great. I think everyone needs one of these systems at their house for fun and project cleanups.
ReplyDeleteI can watch stuff like that all day. That and how things are made.

ReplyDeletethe company who first markets 10MM sockets in a six pack is going to make millions.

You can buy 6 packs of 10mm sockets on Amazon.

ReplyDeleteA lot of wonderful recycling to save the planet. Now show me a video of the recycling of windmills. Please?

DeleteThat looks like another one of those places where people will tell you
ReplyDeleteYa can't park there.
Can you imagine doing that 10 hours a day?
ReplyDeleteLooks like repetitive stress injuries to me.
ReplyDeleteAll cars should be made of metal
ReplyDeleteNo plastic
Just melt it down at end of life

ReplyDeleteExactly what I should have done with the 72 Datsun I foolishly bought. Total piece of shit no one could make run.
ReplyDeleteHorrible Fright has a multi-set of 10mm sockets...

ReplyDeleteSo that’s where the Valet Parking guys train.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think that at one time that vehicle was someone's pride and joy bringing it home from the showroom...

Plastic covers on the headlights probably all fogged up with scratches.
DeleteThat was awesome! We need about a thousand of those in D.C.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a winner! Let's call it the Mitch model.

Hardly ANY of my shit uses 10mm, and I've never lost it. Do not get that meme....
ReplyDeleteCommon sizes for under hood work seems to be 6/10/12/14mm hex head bolts/nuts-mostly for brackets, covers, and thing-a-ma-jigs.
