※ This video is part of the <Extreme Job - Aluminum Processing Plant> broadcast on February 25, 2010. ▶ The worst combination of heat, noise, and dust! A recycled aluminum plant A plant that extracts aluminum from industrial waste and makes recycled aluminum. Since not even 1g of aluminum is produced domestically, most of it has to be imported. Recently, recycled aluminum made from waste aluminum has been widely used domestically. The entire process of making recycled aluminum is done by hand. The aluminum melting process is done three times a day. During this time, workers have to continuously stir the casting with a skewer next to the melting furnace to remove impurities. The dust and acrid smoke that fills the ceiling make it difficult for the workers. In particular, the process of pouring 5~6kg buckets of molten iron to make aluminum ingots causes extreme pain in the arms. ▶ Wrestling with a 100kg clay mold that tests the limits of physical strength, an aluminum pot factory. At 4 a.m. when everyone is asleep, the aluminum pot factory starts its day with a casting melting machine. This place, where cast iron is made by melting discarded pots and frying pans, is busiest in the early morning. Workers constantly stir the casting to melt the scrap iron... Once the casting is complete, it is time to make a clay mold that weighs over 100kg. It is difficult to endure the work of putting clay into the mold, compacting it, and turning it to make dozens of molds a day without physical strength and patience. After making the clay mold, they make sure that no air bubbles form on the surface of the mold, which requires the utmost delicacy... Meanwhile, when pouring the casting into the mold, the breathing of the workers is more important than ever. Workers pour aluminum casting into the tightly compacted mold and carefully dismantle the mold. However, the expressions of the workers looking at the lid are unusual... Will the pot really find its shape? ▶ Dreaming of the revival of aluminum! Light industry, which is currently recognized as a 3D industry and is a job that is shunned by young people. However, 20 years ago, aluminum manufacturing was a filial product and a representative industry of our country that laid the foundation for economic growth. Therefore, people who have lived their entire lives with aluminum since their youth. True industrial players who did not give in to the hot flames and repetitive hard labor and devoted their youth to aluminum manufacturing are still sweating every day dreaming of aluminum's second leap forward. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Aluminum Processing Plant ✔ Broadcast date: 2010.02.25 #GolladunDocumentary #ExtremeJob #Factory #Production #madeinkorea #factory #Life #Drama #Documentary
