"Quick! Everybody crowd around the deadly malfunctioning machine!"

Crazy how all these guys come running out with no hard hats or eye pro
What is this Bangladesh?

I used to run one of those machines. When the molten aluminum is shot into to the mold, it leaves a hockey puck shaped piece called a biscuit.
The worker has to make sure that piece is removed each time before ladling in 1240° aluminum.
If not, the ramrod squeezes molten aluminum until it sprays out the side of the mold onto the worker, which is what occurred here.
He probably sustained 2nd degree burns.
I’ve seen it happen a few times.

Was there safety housing removed for easier/faster access?

[@willemdafuq]

that's terrifying

[@gopinathmaravan]

It's only 700 degrees. Don't exagerate

[@sambingham2889]

You couldn't be more wrong. The press was opening as the line blew.

[@nicktaylor5819]

Why wasn't the hydraulic old depressed before the die open stage, why wasn't the machine filled with water glycol oil to prevent fires, how was the die allowed to move while the guard door was open, why weren't the hydraulic hoses periodically checked before each production runs for wear, seems to me you asked for this to happen. Too many diecasting companies have very poor maintenance teams and lazy management.

Die casting is fun. Die casting is a career.

Looks like the number display says 666 as it happens… weird

This display shows the actual Melton metal temperature.

Hydraulic fluid is corrosive. Dude will have some skin issues. Moisture frim skin and fluid can turn corrosive.

Not one fire extinguisher

[@scottrecker7594]

Die casting machines typically use non-flammable hydraulic oil. i.e. water base.

[@KC9UDX]

Not really gonna help

[@garyv2196]

Ah let it burn.
