  • Cleveland Steel production, just before dawn. This is the revisted version of our most famous video of Cleveland. For years we have had requests of a longer version with less cuts and more angles. Well, here it is. Shot in 6k using our state of the art sensors on a drone. The color, fire, and lighting of the mill is just amazing.
    Note: This video was taken with lots of planning, following all FAA guidelines and with airspace authorization. Enjoy.

    Great Video, thanks.👍 I'm a melter on an Arc Furnace in the UK presently, worked at this Mini Mill for over 20 yrs now. Prior to that I worked in the Heavy End for British Steel who then became Corus in the 90's where we had two Blast Furnaces operating much like the two on this video. It was a great sight to behold to see these Giant Steel Behemoths in action close up especially on a cold chilly night shift. The sights, sounds and smell stick with me to this day, it was a great time in my working life which I would go back to tomorrow if it was possible. Unfortunately in their wisdom Corus decided to close our Heavy End back in 2001.😔

    My Father used to work for LTV Steel years ago.
    He used to work around the blast furnaces and he used to be a pipefitter, too.
    I remember we went on a tour and it was amazing to see it from the inside...but boy was it loud!!!
    My Dad told us some stories of how people died there.
    One man had fallen and had died and they hadn't found his body for 3 days.
    He had a wife and children.
    Another man got his arm caught in a machine (I'm guessing a Press?) and it took his whole arm off.
    They turned the machine off and took out his arm.
    It was mangled and tore up.
    I enjoyed watching this video.
    It reminds me of one of those futuristic industrialist cities.

    At 1:10, I used to work 20yrs ago the train that pulled those 250 ton insulated football shaped bottle cars they would pour 200 tons of molten iron in them. Occasionally the metal stopper would break, and the cars would overflow, creating a huge puddle of molten metal. We had to move the bottle out within 20 minutes, or it would solidify and everything would be cut up as scrape. Sometimes it would take 4 engines combined to free the car or pull it out without the wheels. Once the car was removed they had huge front end loaders called Euclid's with 8 ft tires and those machines could roll up the cooling down soft metal if it was still hot enough.
    I worked that area sometimes for 28 yrs., being on the RR I worked over the entire steel mill. That furnace was #6 and the other end was #5
    The glow red on the ground was molten slag mixed with water, and it would break up into a gravel that the company then sold when cool.

    I was driving down 490 earlier and the blast furnace was rolling. It's something to see these things up close, these metal giants blasting fire and smog into the sky.

      Still are. Who's building aircraft carriers and their planes that's better? Still making cars, still making computer chips, lots of other stuff. We could stand to rebuild our civil discourse and remember that listening to outright lies from some politicians is a bad idea, but that's an internal problem we can deal with if we just have the sense to do it.

    The heart of Cleveland was the Cuyahoga River estuary floodplain called the Flats. Heavy industry such as rolling mills and petroleum handling facilities.....While there is still some industry down there, it has become "gentrified" with watering holes, apartments, entertainment.

      I was told by someone else --- "Those are the hot blast ovens. They produce the heated air that goes into the furnace via the bustle pipe. The Wikipedia entry should give you more information"

      They're called Cowpers stoves. They're basically giant pipes filled with refractory bricks on one side and a combustion chamber on the other. One will be used to heat the air going into the blast furnace (on blast) while the other two are being heated by burning the exhaust coming out of the furnace (on gas). They'll switch which stove is on blast and which is on gas to keep the heat in the bricks.
