00:00We're taking a two and a half inch thick slab, reducing it down from like 080 gauge all the
00:29way for the maximum about half inch thick.
00:31Okay.
00:32There's about 4,000 tons of pressure capable out of each stand and again 10,000 horsepower.
00:38Okay.
00:39And this is Seth.
00:40He's our mill operator.
00:41Seth?
00:42Okay.
00:46So what's, is the water cooling it as it goes through?
00:50Is that what's cool?
00:51It cools our work rolls to keep the work rolls from burning up.
00:54Okay.
00:55The temperature of the slab is 1,650.
00:59Okay.
01:001,700 degrees.
01:01Yeah.
01:02So that's the slab rolling through right there.
01:05Yes, sir.
01:06And you say you're compressing it to about, what, a half an inch?
01:09This one here right now is actually 159,000, so a little over an eighth an inch.
01:17A little over an eighth an inch.
01:18Okay.
01:19And is it, so is it not a uniform thickness?
01:23No.
01:24Are you doing different, for different customers, different levels of thickness?
01:27Yeah.
01:28So you can see right here, this is our orders we got, and those right there are 160, 165.
01:35So we kind of step down and gauge as we go.
01:38I see.
01:39Okay.
01:40Start out heavy and work our way down.
01:41Okay.
01:42So these are each individual orders here?
01:44Yes, sir.
01:45On the screen?
01:46Yes, sir.
01:47How many of these orders are you able to get through?
01:50Yeah.
01:51I mean, you're here for eight hours?
01:5212.
01:53You're here for 12.
01:54I mean, in a 12 hour shift, how many of these orders are you going to get through?
01:57We run about 160 to 180, sometimes 200 coils to shift.
02:02Okay.
02:03And, I mean, does it tell you how many coils are in each order here?
02:09So, like, this is just one order here?
02:11Each one is one individual coil.
02:13It's one individual coil.
02:14Okay.
02:15I mean, like a big customer, how many coils are they going to order?
02:20A bunch.
02:21A bunch.
02:22Yeah, they order a bunch.
02:23Well, we run off the grade, so when we run off the grade, we may have 10 different customers
02:29in that one batch that we're running off for a particular grade.
02:32Okay.
02:33Got it.
02:34Man, this is like, this is complicated.
02:36It's like flying an airplane.
02:38Yeah, this is where y'all went to the milk shop where they milled it.
02:42Yeah.
02:43And then, right in there it's a type of knapp and all like MIT's so good until this is
02:50very exciting to see.
02:52No case.
02:53No Jorge, so we'll get them going.
02:54Noเป"...
02:55No.
02:56No, no, no.
02:57It's going to be fun.
02:58No.
02:59It's going to be a fair difference at the gym.
03:00No, get to the gyms come in atop altitude and let everything go up, just get down.
