I worked occassional weekends at a PVC factory in the mid 80's but think our max was 12". Main job was banding the packs but also monitoring regrind ( scrap ) Gaylord; was bad if that ran out:( Once a railcar froze & yours truly got to sledgehammer it several times to get it flowin'. Fun times. Later on seeing Blue Man Group turn that stench & noise into fantastic performance art was quite the mind blower:)!
Perhaps you may be able to answer a question. I noticed they blurred out the brand name on the finished pipe but based on the color and style of the printing, and where the brand name is located in the info strip, it looks like either Diamond Plastics or JM Eagle. NAPCO (now Westlake) and VinylTech put their brand name right at the beginning of the label strip and are typically more blue in color. Sorry, years and years of working as a site inspector in utility construction having to check product submittals against what was being used made me this way lol.
@@Oceanus_Rex ... A couple of workers were wearing the red Diamond Plastic T-Shirts. I asked many (too many) years ago, at the factory, why the different shades of blue/green ... they told me that is how they tell the pressure and/or the mixture content of the plastic styles. Certain shades mean suited for different uses. I also (not very often though) hauled out of the Chevron pipe plant in Reno, but that was HUGE diameter sewer pipes that were black. (NOT a good load to haul as they tend to slide around, even when braced and secured as tight as you can get the straps!! PS: They are so slippery that you cannot even walk on them with tennis shoes on.)
@@Doc_Dolan Thanks for the info! I knew about the color coding regarding usage (ex: blue=potable water, green=sanitary sewer, purple=force main sewer, pink=reclaim water, etc.) But I did not know that there were other color variations to indicate pressure ratings or plastic mixes. Very interesting indeed.
Always wanted to make a katameran Pontoon boat. With 45% joints for across and 45% joint pieces at the ends …. 8. Pieces of 45% joints and. 2 - 20 foot long pieces. ..

Beautiful downtown Golconda Nevada! I have loaded there a number of times.

Where can we see how the pipes are actually made? This is what the title suggests.
Where does it say you can see it?
They show a computer generated image at 3:31, they can't put a camera in the with the molten plastic.
lol did you watch the video because it doesn’t seem like it
Begin explaining the benefits of PVC pipe while showing a couple of guys examining a window. Checks out.
🤣🤣🤣
Well is you listen it mentions pipes andddddd the construction industry

Great video, wish we can have more details about how the pipes can be use
Indeed
No more oil and gas industries ? That means no more any eery useful plastics !.
💯 correct, GO GREEN, BAN FOSSIL FUELS. People are just stupidly insane that they don't know what anything means anymore. POLITICIANS!
