Visit to the factory floor

IceBone · February 21st, 2008, 07:20 PM

Just to give you a bit of an idea what i'm involved with professionally. Actually, all i do all day is sit behind the pc and click away, but this the more interesting part. We design, engineer and produce hot mineral screens for asphalt plants. An asphalt plant, of course, produces asphalt concrete aka tarmac and the screen sits on the very top and separates the gravel that's brought from a gravel pit into fractions, specific percentage of which is then used to create the right mixture and presto, instant highways.

Off to the pics!

View of the factory from the outside.

Another production hall being built next to it.

Crappy panorama of the inside of the left hall.

1 of 4 20 tonne overhead cranes.

Weld, weld.

Weld weld.

Grind grind.

Grind grind.

Some of you may remember the technical drawing of this from the Lens Flair thread.

Finished product #1, size: Medium - 9500kg.

Extra ladder, handrail and front platform.

It's going to a fair in Modena so we had to sort out some *cough* security.

Finished product #2, size: Large - 12300kg. (we also make XL, XXL and XXXL - up to 20 tonnes)

The truck arrives.

And is promptly loaded.

And off it goes to Italy.

That's just the factory, about 2 kms from our house/office. Dad drove that day. He's seen doing some transportation paperwork (CMR as it's called) on the boot lid of his Audi.

And here's my office... corner...
