I did this work for years. It does help to toke up now and again. Lol. It really isn't all that boring. This guy doesn't stand there mixing silicone all day long. He has many other tasks.
Worked for Omnova Solutions in Jeannette PA, a former General Tire plant. We still used the original Banbury mixers, mills, and Calendar mills for other rubber/polymer products. All were fitted with belly pressure bars and pull cord emergency stops. This scary watching with no such devices in place. Also no hot mill gloves. Granted your working in lower temperatures. All are mill work was in excess of 200 F.
@@texasrox2010 Tire rubber wouldn't be as shiny, and would be much heavier. This material looks more like silicone, and looks a little translucent. But correct, raw virgin rubber would be milled like this before being placed into molds to make things like tires
sure beats digging ditches for a job!... apart from the fact that the operator will have major hearing loss after a few years working without hearing protection, and him pecking at bits of rubber near the bite of the rollers with a complete absence of hip safety bar or higher trip wire emergency stop mechanisms (that stop a mill in a fraction of a second) mean there's a fair chance the black rubber will turn red one day.
I’m a miller myself, the jobs not a bad job as long as you can have a smoke, mixing the blues and yellows and reds etc together to make the different couples are quite cool, but unfortunately when adding your curing agent and colours it wouldn’t be mixed properly :(
@@fryloc359 you can adjust the nips, in my factory I can go from 8mm to half inch, all depends on the type of rubber and how much your putting on, if I'm putting a 50kg on then it'll be wide nips, if in using a fireproof silicone that doesn't mill very well (crumbles) then I would go small to allow all to bind properly
I've watched several of these now, but it never says.... What would this silicone be used for? Are the strips at the end the final product, or would it be sent on to somewhere else and formed into a different product?
That's impossible to know. Silicone is a wildly versatile substance. It can be used to make anything from automotive seals to oven mitts. And no, they don't make dildos out of this. That's an entirely different process.
this is silicone. can be used whatever for you like and imagine. silicone rubber can be useful for you or your product in numerous ways. depending what is final product, chem composition is different, as for electrical wiring insulator or for high temperatures or tube/hose...
The silicone comes virgin in the clear ish form, then stabilizers and curing agents are added as the pigment is, and there is a period of time after mixing till its complete polymerization is achieved. Silicone is fascinating. I play with the 2 part a and b liquid kind and I wish I would use a mixing mill like this. I use smooth on dragon skin for my molds and parts. Soon I'll be making some sheet and doing insulation for electrical low voltage applications and if I'm successful, ill make a video.
I ran a sixty inch and two forty eight inch Mills for over fifteen years, I compounded over ten million pounds of silicone. I never got hurt once and daydreamed most the time I was doing it
Nowake is right. They actually run water through those big metal rollers to cool them so the silicone doesn't get too hot. The trick is to get them warm enough to soften the silicone to make mixing easier without getting it too hot. If it gets too hot the silicone will start to cure (set / harden) and you'll ruin the whole batch.
I do this job, it's nice when you put more colours into it, but sometimes it's heavy, because we have bigger machines and we make fucking more kilograms in one operation (140-200kg)
This is either the most fascinating boring-thing, or the most boring fascinating-thing. Either way, I watched the whole video.
DarthRiko same tho. and probably that first one
Well said
+KaGG “Cmrkiller” Nickoasdf1 i hate the first one
JUST ROLL IT ITS EASIER
Lol......Right! Very relaxing...
А что он делает(производит)?
it's 4am and I have no idea why I'm watching this
because you have a rubber fetish? hahaha LOL (just kidding mate)
A year later, and another person is watching this at 4am for no reason.
a day later and another person is this at 3am for no reason
Today and another watching this at 1 am
None of us do
I need an hour-long one of these.
The Toast of Crust saamme
Just keep watching it for an hr, it doesn't get more exiting.
my anxious aspie ass would do this job for free 24/7
i love this so much

only if its light

Can't explain it, but I LOVE watching these kneading videos. Something really fascinating about them !!!
I quite liked the colours before they became one solid colour, that would have looked cool.
Yeah it had a marble look to it which was nice
And sort of tiger like with the yellow
the pattern was beautiful but the end colour is disgusting
@@alspezial2747 I'm not sure I agree, the end result looked like some sort of delicious liquorish soft candy ^_^
@@thelogan4641
it reminds me to much on baby poo and rotten cheese, but also i have never seen the candy you are talking about.
People in SF or NY would pay to do this for you if you market it as therapeutic.
"this is a therapeutic stress relief exercise, i offer classes at $50 an hour"
I blacked out watching this.
We pay our workers minimum wage but u can pay us $50 an hour. It’s great therapy, we promise.
when is it ready to eat?

Right on the roller, why the hell not ahaaha
I dont even work in the industry and i can recognize a tru craftsman. Great video and thank you.

I was thinking the exact same thing Jeffrey.
It appears to be some kind of silicone.
Yeah, that is almost definitely a silicone mix. As for no hot mill gloves, this mill is running at about 89° F, as shown at 0:26 in the video.
Structure Agency did they at least give you cut resistant gloves?
my ocd havin self would love this job.... it seems so peaceful & relaxing. boring, but a nice way to pass time
I completely agree
Standing all day in a most likely hot ass room flipping what looks like heavy material
Justin klammer I already stand for 12+ hours every work day moving heavy material. This looks way more calming.
There's something to say about repetitive but zen jobs. I could sand paintwork for 8 hours and not get bored.
clefaerie agreed, I love a mindless task lol
Idk why but I want to bite it
Me too wtf is wrong with us

Me too man. Me too.

I have such horrible OCD, id be awesome at this job. Looks really satisfying to do, yet dangerous. I love it.
I am doing this work last 9 years..Its really so hard work .not easy work..But now experience of 9 years help me to do easily
This isn't a job, it's an art.
Boy, I could make a whole bunch of homemade pasta on that there machine. (lol)
The most advanced technology in our factory, unchanged from the year 1920.
i cried when the pretty marble turned into one blob color!
Why exactly am I watching this? Yes i watched the entire thing.
Will watch this all day long and not get bored, we make synthetic rubber sheets for footwear industry from wastage polyethylene and sponge sandals.
It's more like an adult man playing giant play doh.
Does that taffy come in sour apple. My fave
Where can I get this job?
You're welcome to join my factory anytime
I wonder why the stuff only sticks to the front roll, is there a wiper on the bottom we can't see/?
No wiper or scraper just skill
Is that 89C or 89F ?
I'm curious what type of gloves an operator would use if the polymer was above 80C and the polymer was very sticky / adhesive ?
it's F.
the answer is: NONE! cose they would already be stuck to it and integrated into it by the rolers... ;P
This is a downright satisfying video
Are there 1 hour videos of these??
sure beats digging ditches for a job!... apart from the fact that the operator will have major hearing loss after a few years working without hearing protection, and him pecking at bits of rubber near the bite of the rollers with a complete absence of hip safety bar or higher trip wire emergency stop mechanisms (that stop a mill in a fraction of a second) mean there's a fair chance the black rubber will turn red one day.
I don’t have a long bucket list, but I think doing this might have to go on it.

Why is the nip so wide? I work in a tire factory and our mills nips are about a half inch.
What is that material? And why is it milled? What is the end usage?
@@MrEliteXXL it's silicone rubber, we use it for multi purpose, can be used as seals, gaskets etc
@@MrEliteXXL it's milled because it comes as a base so we add the curing agent and colours
@@fryloc359 you can adjust the nips, in my factory I can go from 8mm to half inch, all depends on the type of rubber and how much your putting on, if I'm putting a 50kg on then it'll be wide nips, if in using a fireproof silicone that doesn't mill very well (crumbles) then I would go small to allow all to bind properly

The strips will be fed into the extruder in his next video. Although I don't think they show that happening.
Why am I here watching this even tho is 5 am and I have to finish studying philosophy for tomorrow test...
Because it's five am and you were stressed out about your philosophy test.
Is there anything keeping the material on that one roll (like a different roll texture) or does it change randomly on which roll it ends up?
it looks like it just comes out centrally, but he reaches under to force it onto the roller closest to him each time he takes the whole roll off
Play at 2x speed, much better
at .25 its like a serial killer movie.
Play it any higher and your anxiety gets anxiety.
something about this video is just so soothing and satisfying...
Tanke you tel me best cilicone for make hot stamp
What are these silicone strips then used for?
why am i here? Why am i rewatching this again? THIS is COOL lol
i imagine many of my ex friends and amoebas i meet every day in this machine, *so relaxing.*

what material is that and what is it for?
It looks like silicone rubber which can be used to make all sorts of things.

Good God. Where do I sign up to do this as a job
What is this stuff and what`s it for?
at 7:30 did he lost it? it felt and picked some garbage :(
CanadaRulez4Ever he just added more pigment. Black and white
What's it for ???
Anyone know how this works? Is the rubber not completely solidified/polymerized when they do this?

And they use this for?
It's 4 am in the factory and even the worker has no idea why he is doing this.
What is this stuff used for
I like this mixing !
I would do that for free.
Are the rollers heated or is it just from the friction that heats it up?
Friction
The mills at my work are actually hooked to a chiller to keep the temp down

Roler become heated because of rubber so both make rubber easier to mix..

What type of sponge is this?
A couple of bong hits and this video became very satisfying.

It look like ceramic 🤩🤩🤩
Cool job making playdo

I have one question in this.
Is it is a master batch or a final batch?
Probably a final batch. I've never taken a master batch off at (3"?) Strip.
Anyone know what it is they are doing? Love watching it but I like to know what I am watching...lol
silicone annealing and coloring, preparing for further production and manufacturing.
Что это?
