And then there's shows like How It's Made that's nothing but stuff like that

Something you never would've thought about either

Or kayaks, maybe. Clip was from the side and it's been a while so I don't fully remember

I dint think there'll be any of where I work, but if you're looking for stuff made by blow molders there's definitely stuff for that out there. I've seen them for the big-ass water jugs and canoes

To melt down the excess plastic, yeah And take off the film that otherwise prevents the ink from sticking. Which is funky to see an untreated printed bottle. Preferably before it goes through the oven The auto lines handle all that on their own. The manual lines the top is manually trimmed anyway an...

We have safety. It's just we have a lot of stuff that uses fire and once in a blue moon something catches on fire that shouldn't be on fire The bottle thing was in '23 Though occasionally a bottle gets stuck at the start of an auto printer in such a way it get scorched, or on the manual lines the tr...

If they had set off the fire alarms chances are good the machine was engulfed

Also the bottle on fire was a different line they were trying something out on and it was one of their biggest indicators that it wasn't working. Took idk how many wrecked bottles but they did eventually give up on it

More importantly it's disappointing when it doesn't set off the fire alarms
I did get to throw a bottle that was on fire once tho, that was fun

Spring kinda got skipped and right into summer
Wtf

Technically all the mechanics do
It's just the super high finicky shit like line on fire happens when tool room is gone for the night and they're the ones with the equipment to really deal with that shit
I wouldn't be surprised to find that they check and fix and then the line does it again anyway tho

Naw it did it again. Same machine. They really should fix it tho, cuz last time they had it actually up and running they didn't have that problem
They had different non-fire problems but it was the first one that was an auto-trimmer so trial and error was in effect instead

Yeah it was. Had one mechanic at the controls of said machine confused as to why he suddenly had people yelling to him and pointing cuz the fire was right where he couldn't see it but once he realized he hit the e-stop right quick and they took care of it This was with the third shift supervisor. Ne...

We had a machine set itself on fire yesterday. Sadly no fire alarm

Had a mandate. Lead was working on the one machine that I'm kinda trained on and absolutely hate so I gave him a hug from behind in a way that wouldn't restrict his movement. The noise he made in response had me look at him and go "the fuck was that???" to which he went "you squeezed ...

Sadly I didn't actually see her today. Oh well. Gave the gift to dad to give to her for me
