not sure if this particular vid has been shared previously, nice clean production line and process.
oil filter manufacturing process
- Thread starter factorytuned2012
- Start date
Thanks for posting.
a) I don't think one assembly line worker's face was shown
b) The media was installed without glue/potting agent
c) The rolling of the seam was out of view...the carousel machine was shown but the seam roll was underneath
d) I want to see where the stamping discards go to be recycled. Perhaps it's just an unceremonious heave into a melting crock?
e) Do thread cutting machines filter cutaway metal from the cutting oil?
f) The machinery involved was impressive. It was large enough to be adapted to differing sized product but still delicate.
g) Gotta love highly mechanized steps which are interrupted with trips in laundry baskets

The threading oil did appear to start looking murky wonder how often it is filtered or replaced
A lot of highly skilled toolmakers in Asia. Used to be that way in the US.

They care cause it’s their livelihood we used to be that way big corporate and laziness of upcoming generations changed that for Americans
A cartridge oil filter has much less steps in manufacturing.
Why is the "orange filter" blue?
in addition to what Kira said - good bit of stray metal debris in some tools, but parts appeared clean, wonder if there are washing steps we didn't see...

3:45 in the original vid.
Around here, that bucket is emptied into a larger bin which is collected by a scrap company, mixed with other shredded metal and compacted, then shipped to any of the mills around the country where its re-melted and re-rolled. Steel can be recycled an infinite number of times. Might be a car fender or can of soup next time - who knows.

^^Thanks for posting the NUCOR video but that was one very empty spot.
I think it is just a series called orange.. not designating the actual color.
They also offer orange series motor oil in different color bottles.
If you're talking about at time 6:00 and beyond, there is glue in the end caps. It's slightly lighter in color then the end caps. You can see some excess glue squeeze out when the media is installed an pressed into place.
Bigstar oil filters Korea. Perhaps they give lessons on QC….

The video in that link shows the machines that put the glue into the end caps.
