What happens here

Components are loaded onto an overhead conveyor system and sent through a four-step finishing process. First, they enter an iron phosphate clean-and-coat booth, where they undergo a high-pressure wash to remove any contaminants and receive an iron phosphate coating for corrosion resistance. After cleaning, the parts move to the electrostatic paint booth, where a painter uses an electrostatic paint gun. This specialized gun applies a negative charge to the paint particles, which are then attracted to the positively charged metal parts, minimizing overspray and waste while ensuring a thorough, even coat. Finally, the wet painted parts are moved into a large batch oven at approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes to rapidly cure the paint, followed by a wind tunnel to cool them down.

Goal: Clean, paint, and cure snowplow components for durability and aesthetic finish.

you guys got cooking after you right so we start with raw materials right yeah correct coming to the door back here we're bringing in 20-foot steaks them to flat angle also bringing a 20 foot by 8 foot wide sheets of steel anything from an eighth of an inch thickness up to an inch and a half thick all that raw material 85% of the pusher is made in-house they're all piece of material to finished product two pieces of machine if that raw material is going to see my cutting table over here with two hbr 260 utilization out of the steel very minimal weight that we have here is an automated fan salt they take 40-foot sticks and two flat the operators here basically just to load it unload it and tell it exactly what it is that he needs it to do he's gonna put in the measurements the quantity the machine cuts it measures it moves it does everything for the off all right where we off to next job see the angle line that we bicep a 162 8 process angle flats and channel and any type of hole scribe and it shears it off all-in-one the to be a four or five step process now it's a one step process place place place cut cut cut when you guys first started building them you said it took you two weeks to build one single snow plow yeah we manufacture the plows in the back of art service facility job how long did it take you to build one now job you do one an hour this over here's a CNC turning Center I'm gonna feet rounds through it bars to it we're gonna do bushings and both types of stuff like that on the inside of this thing this thing'll actually spin around it's got nine different tools on she's tacking parts together we've got 32 different welding stations in here put them together in a jig here she's going to tackle together in order to move on down the line to our newest piece of equipment we just brung it in the last couple months here single arm robot got lasers on the end to help us out with all the programming things like that what we're going to be doing what that is is now that parts that we've got guys manually welding are now going to go into automation six out of timer's what are you eliminating a job right now this point boys 50 employees building push 500 people out actually flowing stone anywhere from 950 to 1,200 in the field about 450 operators between the manufacturing facility and actual guys out in the field these and it's gotta be close those are American jobs we're tucked we're talking about American jobs 100% in American soil wealthy guys I have…
