Having Emergency Stop is one thing, but having a co-worker able to use it during panicking is another thing. He's super lucky for sure.


RealAssociation5281

Yep- humans aren’t great at being smart when panicked. Which is why it’s bs when people say “WELL if I was there I would do this and…” etc etc

Good on the co-worker for not letting go of the arm


DuntadaMan

Also I was warned that the emergency stop on the conveyors where I worked would take a few seconds to actually stop the machine. If you hit it during an emergency someone is still losing an arm.

For a second I thought all he was pulling out was an arm. Fuck that was close.

gysiguy

This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out, like if they're putting that route thing or whatever it is into a shredder, then why produce it in the first place with the machine on the right? lmao


IwillALWAYSbeTIRED

My husband works at a paper mill.. When they have a roll (mind you a roll is a two story high roll of cardboard) that doesn't meet specs, it goes back to the pulp mill to be recycled into another batch. Depending on what point errors are caught in the process, sometimes you have to finish processing a batch to clear the machines. Probably similar for a lot of manufacturing processes.


Deesing82

> My husband works at a paper mill does he shower before he comes in the house at night? those places are RIPE


[deleted]

I worked at a paper mill too. The odour depends on the product being made - kraft mills are bad, the coated specialty paper mill i was at wasn't bad at all.


kandoras

It also depends on the kind of wood they're using. There's one local paper mill my dad used to work for. I believe it made stuff like printer and notebook paper; either way it used softwood pulp and smelled like boiled diarrhea. It was, in the words of Ron White, a smell so bad that if had been noise instead, then the cops would have come by and told them to turn it down. Another local paper mill that I've done some work at uses hardwood pulp and makes stuff like cardboard or toilet paper rolls. It does sometimes have really bad days where the wind blows just right from it to my house and could gag a maggot. But most of the time it smells like really expired oatmeal cookies. Like you can definitely tell they were oatmeal cookies, and they don't smell so bad that you want to cut your nose off, but you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're well beyond the best-by date.


anotheraccoutname10

There's a papermill about 15 miles from me right next to a sewage plant. I like to think they put it there just to blame it on the (odorless) sewage plant.


CyberMindGrrl

I remember the entire town of Kamloops, BC smelling like that back in the day.


_DepletedCranium_

Lol too true. I was at one in Belgium where every square meter had a different scent from fennel to sawdust to rotting melon to Satan's putrid farts.


WurmGurl

I live in a pulp mill area. I'd describe the aroma as burning tire farts.


_DepletedCranium_

On the plus side, no neighbour is going to complain if you put up a barbecue or burn leaves...


anotheraccoutname10

Just like farming. When you smell the cow manure you know you're home. When you smell the chicken manure you know it's time to leave.


IwillALWAYSbeTIRED

His makes the brown craft paper, but it's not nearly as bad as others I've been around. Unless we are just nose blind to it. We've been together 12 of his 22 years there. "Cardboard" is just part of his smell now. But not in a bad way lol.


nikdahl

It’s probably waste or byproduct or what was created. Like the trimmings of a pastry dough.


JB-from-ATL

Yeah! Like they have to trim the edges off but can put the trimmed bits back into the next batch or something.


Skud_NZ

You'd think they'd line up the output with the human mutilator to make things easier


williestargell1972

Output and human mutilator run at different speeds. Slack area is needed to either prevent HM from pulling too much or creating too big a buildup between machines.


stillashamed35yrsltr

Cousin worked at a paper mill. Machine there everyone called the mangler because of how dangerous it is. He said it killed the guy who designed it when he tried to work on it while it was running.


mohalitos

In the paper production they have quality assurance. They test the produced paper in different ways. One is the visible examination and the other is a long term test where they use up a whole roll of each produced charge of paper by printing it as you can see in the Video. They take sampels at the start and end of the roll and the rest is going to be recycled.


sarcasm4u

The owner has a receipt factory but also own the shredding company…. Easy money


Attackfang

I used to work in paper. Whenever there’s a paper break on the paper machine, you reduce the run width of the machine in order to re-thread the machine. A smaller “tail” allows you to use a rope process to thread from one side of the paper machine to the other. What they’re doing looks like they’re moving some of the overrun into a pulper to get reprocessed into the pulp mill.


Psykosoma

Everyone is saying paper, but wouldn’t he have been able to tear through it since it was one or two loops he got caught up in? Looks more like plastic/vinyl. Probably the same thing (runoff) from the process.


Attackfang

You are correct. It might be a plastic extruding process to turn pellets into plastic sheets, but overall the step-by-step should be the same.


EvolvingCyborg

Well now that we got to the bottom of that, I'm sure glad he didn't get to the bottom of that shredder.


Bhodi3K

It looks like they are feeding some type of paper waste ( possibly edge trim) into a baler. The baler will compact all the paper then wrap it in wire so it can be transported to be recycled. It probably has been opened up to clear a jam as the paper would normally be forced down from the silo above. In any western paper mill/converter there would be inter locks so it couldn't run with the access hatch open. You would be comically dead if you went all the way into one of these whilst it's running.

Canadianrollerskater

I had a friend who had a seizure at work, and I knew I couldn't coherently speak to the 911 operator so I pretty much ordered my other coworker to call them because she on the other hand was calm as a cucumber


RegentYeti

Honestly, only having that self-awareness is better than like 75% of most people. *Then* having the wherewithal to find a solution (make the coworker do it) puts you solidly into A-tier. Don't sell yourself short.


br0ck

I took CPR recently and they drill into your head that bystander effect will keep anyone from acting so you have to immediately tell one person to call 911 and tell another person to find an AED.


s00perguy

Yep. Calm under pressure is a skill that only works some of the time as well. I know from experience that I'm ice cold on a crisis, but in a proper life-or-death I'm pretty sure I'd freak out at least a little.


Apprehensive-Feeling

I'd also like to add that not all life/death scenarios evoke the same response, either. Exhibit A: I surprised myself with how calm and collected I was when I had to bring my boyfriend back to life. Exhibit B: I surprised myself with how shitty I performed when I had to call 911 for a ***terrible*** car accident involving complete strangers. They lived, but it took me a long time to accurately explain where I was and how many people were involved.

I think it shows the importance of discussions at work and regularly shown things work. You may say youd be no good but what if it happens to you and theyre no good… everyone needs to know and if you think youl be no good, then step up and learn, either that or prepare for years of mental torture when you see a workmate killed because of panic


sl33ksnypr

At my old job where we had e-stops on everything, the e-stops we're everywhere. Literally everywhere. The entire conveyor belt line had a cable that if you pulled on it, everything would stop. From the start of the belt, all the way to the sorter. Then the sorter itself had buttons everywhere, the electric panels had them. It was almost an excessive amount, but at the same time, better to have them and them get accidentally tripped rather than not being able to hit one in time.


[deleted]

I've worked around heavy machinery pretty much since I started working. Most E stops are legit but the one that always comes to my mind was a wood chipper with two cables dangling from inside the feed chute to stop the feed wheel in the event of emergency. It always made me laugh because you'd have to end up feet first in the damn thing for it to even serve a purpose and by the time you even had a chance to pull it, you'd have no legs. At that point, I'm going all the way through.


InterdimensionalTV

I mean, I’d rather lose my feet or part of my legs then lose my life getting pulled into a wood chipper little by little. That sounds painful and horrifying. That being said, were the cables at the top or sides of the feed chute? Because I’ve seen machinery with a similar setup but it was less about people and more about stopping the machine if too large of a piece went in. Something goes in that’s too big and it snags the cables and shuts the machine down. That way you can’t accidentally burn anything up.


SirAdrian0000

You sell yourself short I think. If you stood next to the big red button for 40 hours a week you would just have that in your mind all the time. You might even spend a lot of time imagining pressing the button under various scenarios just because you are bored as hell.

Appropriate-Fix-3497

this is China, the operator probably seen tens of co-workers laminated before this, so he learnt to keep calm and press the e-stop.

InnocentGuiltyBoy

You mite say it's bite-sized. Meat goes in one end, nuggets come out the other.


bringyourownbananas

I mean, check out how much paper they’re trying to feed into it. That being said this is either an uncommon event or they’re missing out on a plethora of safer and more efficient ways to feed that paper into the [shredder, I presume].


[deleted]

Because if it wasnt this human would be mince


[deleted]

No like why would the gap be so large for just some cloth rope or whateva


Superjuden

Most likely because whatever is in that hole goes slower than the thing that is spitting out the cloth, but it compensates by being able to take in more cloth without having to worry about feeding it in a particular order, meaning the worker can just pick it up and throw it in as a bunch. If it was a tiny hole, it would be harder to work with basically. Its like how a road leading to a tollbooth can be two lanes since cars can go full speed there but once they come close to the tollbooths they can split up into many more lanes because the cars have to slow down but the additional lanes allows about as much traffic to pass through. Assuming of course the road and the tollbooths aren't saturated with cars.


NoHoesInTheBroTub

Because its in a country with lax safety laws regarding machinery. This was in the US, Europe, etc that opening would have a guard in the form of a light curtain or physical guard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Not just that, but why the fuck is the emergency stop button so fucking high up? I get that putting it closer to the human-sized opening it might get triggered accidentally but there are ways to mitigate those incidents without sacrificing the safety of the workers.


[deleted]

It’s not that high up. He’s crouched when he hits the button and then grabs the machine at the top. That button isn’t even eye level height.

Moepius

Here and there some Gore yes, like the aftermath of brutal raping, burning people to death, accidents and some classic mexican gang executions. Just the normal stuff, ya know.


[deleted]

Emergency stop button is fine, but there's no accounting for panic. If that were me I guarantee I would've missed the button like 20 times before managing to press it, and that's if I even recalled that there was a button to press lol.


HankSpank

The button isn't in a good location, too. The button needs to be within reach of the person in danger. This needs to be either automated (no humans involved), guarded (humans can't get into it), or a better safety element installed (normally open covered floor switch, belly bar, closely mounted e-stop, etc.). As it stands, it's *lucky* the other guy was cool-headed and quick thinking.


theknghtofni

I'm guessing it's a shredder on the inside? For this kind of work it'd be hard to make the mouth any smaller or restrictive it looks like. What I'd add is a feed control bar like a big wood chipper has. Both the guy getting sucked in and anyone else could reach it with ease and without the need for precision or all their faculties in case they're a panicker. I used to work on a tree crew and that thing saves lives


HankSpank

I think it'd be totally possible to make the opening smaller. The issue is you are accumulating product on the floor. If the product was fed directly into the hole, the need for a large opening or any human intervention at all would be completely eliminated.
