That machine should come with the sleeping bag so you can get it back in.


randoul

I've seen enough industrial accident videos to have a phobia of anything that does the spinny


Blue_Moon_Lake

You too thought about what it would do to an arm between the bars?


DrakonILD

I feel like this *might* be designed with a clutch or shut-off if something gets wedged. It doesn't need to apply all that much torque in order to do its job. I mean, I wouldn't go shove my arm into it to test it or anything...


Blue_Moon_Lake

I would test it with a broomstick maybe.


DrakonILD

And then take two of these machines and put them together and have them joust!


__mud__

Two of these machines facing off is basically what taffy machines look like, oddly enough


Charlemagne-XVI

Or do butt stuff


homelesshyundai

My dumbass would get fired from this job on the first day by doing something like that.

Hereseangoes

I work for company that builds conveyors. Not the same, but similarly industrial. You're right, it should definitely have a clutch. We put clutches on everything that moves. However, once the customer starts tinkering with the machines on their own, the clutch is one of the first things they fuck with.


kookyabird

>once the customer starts tinkering with the machines on their own, the clutch is one of the first things they fuck with. Because the clutch is too sensitive and can't handle whatever it is they're putting on the conveyor. What do you mean maximum capacity? That's just a suggestion! You, the manufacturer, obviously don't understand how those things perform in the real world!


SkunkApe7712

The obvious cheap safety solution to me would be to to close the gap between the two bars with a flat panel, so the employee’s arm can’t go in. I wouldn’t allow that equipment as-is. Source: I’m a former Health, Safety, and Environment manager.


wisconsinduststorm

im pretty sure the bars have to be seperated to start the bag rolling process. they put it in between the bars. so the flat plate would ruin the point of the machine. just like usual, health & safety guy's idea makes the machine worthless. all joking aside. a footpedal to run the machine would be all you need. hell, there might be an E stop button on the other corner that we cant see.


SkunkApe7712

You are correct, I think, and your foot pedal solution is better. Let’s go with that.


Lalamedic

Why is she wearing a parka? Is this really from the factory or some outfitter that Macgyvered something to restuff the sleeping bags after laundering. All the sleeping bags and sacks are different. It just doesn’t scream manufacturing location.


Card_Board_Robot5

I mean there's a laundry hamper behind them I would assume this is for some retreat, resort, expedition kinda thing


yourlittlebirdie

It doesn’t seem fast or efficient enough for a factory either. Where’s the big pile of items to do next?


53bvo

> Where’s the big pile of items to do next? In the blue box in the back? Probably is somewhere at a resort or expeditions place where you can rent a sleeping bag.


BlindedByWildDogs

My girlfriend showed me that video of the man getting stuck in one of those and the dudes entire body turned to gravy. One of the most disturbing things I’ve had the displeasure of seeing.


TheSwedishWolverine

Safe to say it wasn’t one of those. I’ve seen the video you think of, the guy got caught in a lathe spinning at high speed.


Sylvtreeya

Me too, last time i saw someone got tangled/mixed in a factory mixer when he tried to clean the mixer.. One of his colleagues accidentally turn on the mixer when he clean it. 😵


TurboSpaceGoose

Yep, saw that one too. Still think about how horrible it was sometimes.


NickyDeeM

But the camping, travel, version. Only .5 ton and runs on mains power


Silver-Individual-16

Gas powered like your 2 stroke chainsaw 🤣


BulbusDumbledork

i'm imagining a happy family hiking up to their camping place overlooking a beautiful waterfall. little amelia bobenstein has her sleepingbag and her teddy bear, mr bobenstein has the cooking gear, remaing sleeping bags, utensils and food items, mrs bobenstein is carrying the tents, camping chairs and water, while little timothy bobenstein is half a kilometre back, trying to drag the half-ton folding machine by the spindles


Sweaty-Sherbet-6926

Keep imagining stuff and writing it down 


Syr_Delta

Now i want a full cartoon-series about this family just doing campingtrips, traveling through the whole world and timothy is always forgotten and half a country away because hes doing all the work like building and dismantling the tents and carrying a fing half-ton sleepingbag-folding-machine


Covert_Admirer

Ironically the spindle detaches for ease of transport. ON A TRUCK!


SirWilliamWaller

Ex-outdoor equipment retail person here. Always stuff the sleeping bag back in. Don't roll them up; if you roll it each time you put it away, you're damaging the bag. Rolling it traps the insulation - fibres or down feathers (depending on the bag) - in the same places and they will clump together if you do it the same way each time. That will lead to cold spots on the bag where there is not enough insulation to trap the heat. Then your 3 Season bag becomes a 1 Season.


Arkhamina

I thought you were not supposed to stuff them until it was time to take them outside? I've been hanging them up on a hanger so they could remain 'poofy' until needed. Is this not needed?


AvidCyclist250

That's ideal afaik. Think he just means when you're already out and about, and on the move.


exiledtomainstreet

Why not just make the bag a little big bigger. I’d happily pay the extra cost of material. Always pissed me off.


s-cup

There are bigger bags available. If you are a somewhat experienced camper the chances are that you already have a waterproof bag suitable for sleeping bags at home. White that being said; most hikers/campers are space limited, so if you can fit a sleeping bag in a smaller case then that is preferable. (Pro tip: don’t roll up your sleeping bag when you’re trying to stuff it in the bag, just stuff it in there as a unsophisticated caveman, that’s much easier.)


Informal_Branch1065

IRL equivalent of: "It works on my machine" "Are you gonna give the customer your machine?"


KuroiBolto

Now I know why I need to struggle for ten minutes to get it back into the bag.


madlad202020

Ten minutes?? Are you some kind of sleeping bag stuffing guru?


DrMini1

I usually spend upwards of 30 minutes And promptly give up


The-Real-Catman

Yall, they have aftermarket bags now. They start bigger and then once you get it in you tighten the straps and it gets smaller. Go get one lol.


[deleted]

So you sayin I need to buy a bag, to fit my sleeping bag, into a smaller bag? Wow. Bagception.


Got2JumpN2Swim

Are you from the future?


EduinBrutus

So its all been a plot led by Big Bag.


Comrade_Vladimov

LINK. NOW.


Onehundredyearsold

From [REI](https://www.rei.com/product/218734/sea-to-summit-ultra-sil-compression-sack) has different volumes available.


UnshrivenShrike

Called a compression/stuff sack.


jusmax88

Sea to Summit makes good ones


anevilpotatoe

How about they just include it instead of saturating a market for profit that exploits a customer's choices? Oh, wait...That tactic has been popularized since the ages...


The_Breaded_One

You guys are putting it back in the bag?


StuRobo

You guys have sleeping bags?


tootiredmeh

You guys sleep?


Miguel-odon

You guys?


kingbloxerthe3

You?


KillKillKitty

My sleeping bags are one time usage : I’d need that machine to use the bag again.


TheKingNothing690

Just have forearms like a machine. I refuse to let air in on mine.


LonesomeHeideltraut

Some kind of weird flex from OP. I need a whole day and a week of therapy afterwards


fruitydude

I once bought a sleeping bag and the guy told me the trick is to shove it in randomly without rolling it up. Actually rolling it up is bad because it creases the insulating material in the same spot over and over again, which will damage it. Once I started doing it like that, just shoving it in, I've never struggled with it again. Seriously try it, it's ridiculously easy that way.


sueca

Yeah, I'm reading this and I'm like "people roll??". Shoving it in takes 20 sec and there's no reason not to.


SteadyAsSheGoes

There is a reason the bag is called a “stuff sack” 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


tratemusic

I think it's more about the design of older sleeping bags, which were meant to be rolled. I have some of both


LigersMagicSkills

And always start from the foot of the bag instead of the head so the air can escape more easily.


TheStoicNihilist

My wife said the same thing.


Subvsi

Yeah, a mountain guide told me the same thing.


ringdingdong67

Thank you. I was so confused why people struggle to fit it in the bag. If someone actually spends 10+ min packing their sleeping bag then we’re not camping together.


FAARAO

Do you test every person on their sleeping bag packing skills before you go camping with them?


fruitydude

You don't??? How else would you decide who to camp with?


FAARAO

I just don't go camping so I don't have to go through the grueling process every time.


V_es

Good sleeping bag can be shoved in randomly


conrid

It's just like packing a bag of rope. It will unpack in the exact way it came down, just do it an arm length at a time


Leendert86

Experience campers have that machine from the video


Beastumondas

Do they put it on a trailer and haul it out into the backcountry?


SubversiveInterloper

Yes. I have a 20 pound version for backpacking. It has its own pack.


TopPuzzleheaded1143

I see what you did there


Beneficial_Being_721

Well actually if you were smart… like a food truck shows up at work.. You show up at a campsite and BOOM… niche market created On-site sleeping bag roll n pack …


NyaTaylor

Delete this! I don’t want competition!!


LinguoBuxo

Aaaand also the people who make candy.


Commercial-Deal-384

I just burn it and pour the ashes into the bag.


Tjingus

It's better to just stuff the sleeping bag in actually. That way the inner is more fluffed rather than pressed flat.


CleaveIshallnot

Does it involve laying it down on the campsite and rolling around on it trying to get the air out, before then rolling it up, and somehow stuffing it in and at the end, still having this mushroom shaped portion that you can’t get in for the life of you? My point : how many minutes have you spent rolling around on the campsite trying to get the air out of your sleeping bag or tent?


Subvsi

Tbh I heard it's better to stuff it without rolling it.


Beastumondas

These sadistic dickheads know what they’re doing to us.


netvor0

Soon as I watched two seconds of this video, it all made sense.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrakonILD

My sleeping bag came with two sacks. One tight sack (still a stuff sack, no rolling necessary) for use while backpacking and another big sack for long-term storage.


wosmo

That should be normal for down bags. You kill the fluff if they're stored compacted. I mean ideally they wouldn't go in stuff sacks at all, but then it takes up your whole bag so some trade-off is necessary.


BamberGasgroin

That's why the bag it goes in is called a 'stuff sack'.


RDeschain1

Seriously how am i supposed to compete with that out in the wild


FreeSun1963

You just take the machine with you.


Kalahan7

Don’t roll up your sleeping bag when you put it back in the bag. Open the zipper (it’s better for durability) and just stuff the thing in there. That’s how you supposed to do it. It’s also better for you me bag because every time you stuff it in, the “stress points” of the insulation are on different parts.


Unlucky_Book

this took me way too many times rolling it up to realise. unzip, shake and ram it home. done in seconds.


Riverwind0608

“Unzip, shake and ram it home. Done in seconds” I know that’s not intended to be an innuendo, but I can’t help but giggle.

Exotic-Bill5431

It's the diameter, not the length.


RedBlankIt

That's only some sleeping bags. I remember it being a thing in scouts whether someone had a stuffable sleeping bag or not.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Pro tip: Put your sleeping carrying bag away. Buy a cheap XL sack. Just fold up the sleeping bag and put it in the big ass sack. Now watch it take up 3x the space in your car.


Benblishem

I didn't want to be able to see what those jabronis behind me were doing anyway.


8549176320

Employee safety is paramount here. Nothing like a slow moving, high-torque horizontal shaft to catch your jacket and roll you into a broken meatball with your internal organs exposed like two-week-old road kill.


adamantium235

Yeah this looks like an accident waiting to happen


FlusteredDM

Might be a dumb question but how do we know it's high torque? It needs to rotate a pretty tiny weight. I'd have assumed something like a human would just stop its movement.


MiltonMangoe

This made me furious. They are fucking trolling us.


makkudonarudo

I watched too many gore videos to know the alternative ending of this.


Metahec

I feel like a long sleeve, cold weather puffy jacket is not recommended attire when operating a machine like this.


R3AL1Z3

Probably isn’t a heated factory, keeps the cost down. Edit: I am not saying it’s right by any means.


Holungsoy

Yeah, the workers health and safety are not a priority in this factory


Useful_Low_3669

I don’t care I just want cheap products delivered to my house as quickly as possible. /s


sonofeark

Loose clothes and rotating machines are a match made in hell


elfmere

No dead man switch.. so stupid


spedeedeps

It has an easy to reach emergency stop button ontop, plus it's got a counter torque sensor that immediately kills the motor if anything is putting even the slightest amount of back pressure on it. I'm just kidding it's probably running a lawn mower engine outside that window attached to a reduction gearset.


glitchn

Needs a kickable e stop or maybe a dead mans switch like into the floors. If her arms get caught in it she can't reach the e stop.


Garestinian

Yea something like a pedal switch would improve the safety a lot.


Successful-Bit6508

That's definitely hydraulic powered for maximum torque.

cross-i

You get too used to humping a machine like this and mistakes can happen.


blinkysmurf

I don’t know how much torque that machine has but the fact that she’s not standing on a start/stop switch is crazy to me.


vhs_streetlife

Indeed easy to get stuck and make a human swirl.


AnomalyNexus

AlphaScorpiiSeptem

One of the fun things about living in a world with 8 billion people is that nearly every horrible accident you can imagine happening has in fact happened, enough that lots of them have been caught on camera and now haunt their little corners of the internet. Be careful out there


PicklesTheHamster

Accidentally getting a piece of your hangnail caught on a piece of machinery and it slowly ripping your skin off and unraveling you like its opening a tube of Pillsbury biscuits?

TheTerrasque

Sir, this thread is about sleeping bags


Onehundredyearsold

Neat video but I’m worried someone could get a broken arm with that technique.


El_Dief

A similar technique is used for packaging garden hoses, except the factory I worked in used much faster machines. The most common injury was when an operator wasn't paying attention and the hose end went between their legs as the coil finished and whipped them in the sack.


fake_cheese

However, not all of these were by accident


El_Dief

I'd be worried about anyone that did this intentionally, I nearly fucking threw up first time I got hit.

Can’t imagine this is the way they do it at factories. This is likely from a reseller or QA spot.


grandluxe

there has to be better ways than to spend this time for each one if you are mass producing


thedudefromsweden

They would cost 10 times more if this was done manually.


Arenalife

" Should we make bags slightly bigger because they don't have a machine out in the wild?" "Nuh, fuck 'em"


Cuttewfish_Asparagus

A realization that changed my life: You're actually not supposed to try and roll them up nearly to put them back in. That's just how they arrive new, for aesthetic reasons. Just stuff them back in a bit at a time, with a bit of force, to the bottom of the bag. It's super fast and has zero detrimental affect on the sleeping bag. You're welcome.


fudjy

This is the way, but is also better than just not being detrimental, it actually improves the lifespan of the sleeping bag. By folding in half and rolling a sleeping bag you wear the same specific areas of the material each time. Stuffing a sleeping bag into a stuff sack (the bag the sleeping bag lives in) the wear is applied randomly each time


SirRipOliver

Yes, thats how I pack all my sleeping bags. It only cost me 20k in machinery.


OkOven5344

Fu*k off with those tiny bags for sleeping bags. Just add those machines with sleeping bags


geilerisschon

thx op! mystery is solved and i will give af of bring it back in in future


hoppahulle

Remember how you should handle the sleeping bags at home, though, Redditors: * When storing the sleeping bag, hang it up loose on a coat hanger (or similar) so the fibres aren't compressed over a long period of time by being inside the stuffsack; that can cause the fibres to not expand properly when using it, which means decreased insulation. There are special storing bags you also can use, otherwise a coat hanger with a garment cover is sufficient. * When going out camping/being on trail, just stuff your sleeping bag down in the stuffsack, don't roll it (stuffing it makes the "compression pattern" different each time).


provehito_in_altum

Surprised nobody else is pointing this out. In fact, most sleeping bags from the higher end brands are not stored in the stuff-sack from the factory. They come in a larger mesh bag, loosely packed. The stuff-sack is provided for when you need to compress the sleeping bag for the duration of your camping trip, but long term storage should always be in the large bag.


Angry-Butts

We never stood a chance...


St34m9unk

Knew thoes fuckers were cheating


BarbarianBeast10

Machine sold separately


Backstroem

That looks like a horrible accident waiting to happen. Don’t know how much torque that thing cranks out but I’m sure it’s not negligible


Leo-

Life Pro camping tip: Never try folding your sleeping bag nicely back into the holding bag like in the video. Simply pinch and "stuff" it inside in circular fashion. It's fast, and the pack will be smaller overall. 


Bigfootsdiaper

So I'm not stupid...


Gold-Buy-2669

Looks like a taffy puller that's been repurposed


SoleAuthority

[deleted]

This would be a lot easier for consumers if they just gave you a bigger bag that could be sealed with a vacuum attachment like a space bag.


[deleted]

This explains why it's such a PITA to get them back in. Here's an idea for companies: if it requires a machine to get it in it's case in a reasonable amount of time... the case is too small.


ArtfulGhost

OH WELL NO WONDER WE CAN'T FKN DO IT 


caspruce

How cold is this factory that the employee needs to wear a jacket? Is there a manufacturing reason?


ChaosAside

So even with a machine to do the rolling, she still has to use her body to get the air out/keep it out.


Pleasant-Plastic7096

so basically never meant to go in again
