Photos from the usual hard workers at a steel plant

I noticed that the posts with a technical bias and reports to work quite popular in the PL, here and decided to share with you.

I work in Sweden in a steel mill. We cut the metal into small pieces, and then they fall into the furnace again. The amount of scrap metal at our plant is approximately 10-15% in the smelting of metal.

So there you go!

Metal cut cutting torch, the flame temperature of about 2500-2600 degrees. Use the propane and oxygen.

In the first photo we see a propane gas cylinders and a large tank of oxygen. Oxygen in the liquid state, the tank accommodates six tons of liquid oxygen. The oxygen pressure in the hoses and torch 14-15 atmospheres.

Will be 42 photos





The photo shows a small part of the disassembled rolling machine, the total weight of about 300 tons of parts. All this should razrezatsya into pieces the size of 160h60h60sm.



In any case, we made the cut marks that would fill up the item for further cutting.



Blockages can be cut)))



... to rubble in the background technique, a little bit more about this later in the post.



pleased hunky



particularly large items cut a special cutter. In the photo a worker propane torch heats the metal to the melting point, the second cuts UTB pure oxygen, this method can be razrezat metal up to 1 meter in thickness



That technique. Loader weighing about 33 tons. Collects the cut metal claws or magnets and adds in special containers.



Containers ... in one container can hold up to 60 tons of metal. Full containers takes a special loader, unfortunately there is no photo, emptying them directly in the steel shop. Then brings back empty.



cut pieces of metal



worker cuts the thick metal sheets special device



We call it ... secateurs gas burner that moves on a track called line. Defining the parameters of speed, power and gas Stuy before ... is used for cutting thick and smooth sheet metal or metal workpieces. The thickness of the metal in the photo around 20cm.



Work sets secateurs



cut metal truck containers collect



all that is necessary to cut metal



several parts of the rolling machine. In the background from left to tap that we also cut

Incidentally pants, overalls, jackets nonflammable material



Brought gasoline tank, they dismantled the plant replaced with new ones.

Metal special tractors to bring the so-called "cassette" - metal platform length of about 12 meters. Again, there is no photo of tractors may then make a separate post about them

Blockage at work)))



happy hard worker on a smoke break



Loader lays metal that would have been more convenient carvers cut it, cut the pieces we put into containers, they can be seen in the background



pile of metal



Here we have lunch, drink coffee ... love spill over in the cards between work



"Workshop" if I may say so ... spare parts to the cutters, tools, etc



In the background you can see the containers where we sort of have metals bolshii cost than iron ... copper, aluminum, stainless steel.

Often kostruktsii present copper wire, stainless steel pipes, aluminum sheets. All of this is separated and are sorting. In the future, these metals dobavlayutsya in smelting furnace to create different types of alloys.



Aerial view of a small section of the plant. The photo shows the railway junction. The rails are held throughout the plant. The formulations deliver metal ore into molten iron rolling mill and so



photo crane standing in a fault at the plant for 10 years, was cut on the metal contact



Spring is not so much fun to work, all in the water (((



Forklifts



working



...



...



podehal authorities, interested in the success of the day ... usually cut about 25-30 tons of metal



protsessse is



brought metal



platform on the crane, electric cut off and stacked separately, some copper content of 40%.



not completely cut part of the rolling machine, each piece weighs 300-500kg



forklift operator raises the upper part of the railway vehicle for bulk materials. Lower already cut ...

I have everything))) have any questions, happy to answer!
