Yes, it produces something.

Something softer.

A paper mill?

I will settle with that answer! It is a paper machine, typical for paper mills producing for example toilet paper.

I think this one works similar to the ones I worked with, except this one is smaller.
It takes wet paper mass and spreads it out on a giant cylinder in a fine layer which dries and gets stretched out on the roll of paper.
It all goes very fast, it's hot, damp, and dusty...
Most of the time I worked on the next machine in the production line, which takes 2 or 3 of these 1.5ton paperrolls and combines them into 2 or 3 layered toilet paper or whatever the paper was for. It cuts it into various widths with spinning knieves, everything moving at atleast 1300rpm.

When something went wrong, and the paper cracked, then these 3, 1.5ton rolls spinning at 1300rpms sent paper out all over the factory. It sucked to clean that up...
There was plenty of accidents, stuck limbs, and cuts...

This machine can be yours for $100.000.

Maybe a buisiness idea these days?
Or if your local supermarket doesn't fill your needs of toilet paper at the moment; install one of these next to your bathroom?

Over to you, Catfish!

An off topic input the this machine and the factory where they are placed.

The most common occupational injuries in these workplaces ... are .... cutting injuries.

My brain recalled a documentary about paper production.

Back to ordinary schedule.

Huh, i really was not sure, never saw this in reality. I knew it was not a rotary press or something like this, but..

Must have been a tough job.

Only 100,000 $ .. looking at the current price of toilet paper i am tempted ..

Catfish · 03-26-20, 10:36 AM

Ok, what is this..

Should not be too difficult

I can imagine!
Sometimes the roll got messed up for various reasons, then you had to use a simple knife an slice through layers of thick paper on a 2.5m wide roll.
You could easily slip. I think a big problem was the night shifts, tired people with knifes...

Italian?

Jimbuna · 03-26-20, 10:50 AM

Durango 95?

Aktungbby · 03-26-20, 10:59 AM

only a true droog would get that!

< matches my post color!

Catfish · 03-26-20, 11:20 AM

Jim gets it! That was fast.. not the car though. I doubt i would drive the full 100 mph the car was alleged to go, with the 1600 Hillman Imp engine in the rear.

It is a chore to drive. A british kit car from the 1950ies with plastic body, the Adam Brothers probe 16, also called Centaur or Durango 95. All the weight of the engine in the rear, tank in front of you, impossibly light at the front, loud, unsafe, fun. The latter for say ten minutes, then you wish you were elsewhere.. there are not much left of them.

Friend just got new transparent acrylic doors from Scotland, after we had mused about how to rebuild them from scratch. The original ones were made of macrolon and are gone, impossible to get nowadays.

Sported in Kubrick's "A clockwork orange" as Aktung mentioned, here is the scene (not for the faint-hearted), playing "hogs of the road" in true british style

:

The car is indeed so low that you can drive under barriers/fences and maybe even a truck like shown in the film.

Here is the actual vehicle:

Just a quick reply
Also the paper itself. the edge is very sharp, when it comes in high speed from one roll to an another.

Back to ordinary schedules

Edit
And I was planning on guessing on Catfish picture...I was pretty sure he wanted us to guess it was asphalt he had in mind
End of edit
