Not really OSHA but we are continuing to decommission a box plant. Each of these print plates are worth $1000-$3000 apiece. 180 sets thrown away so far.


Are you sure about that price for a single plate? I used to operate the machines that prepared those metal plates for actual book and magazine printing and box of 50 plates was way under what you say one plate cost. I can't remember how much one box was exactly tho, it's been 2 years, but I knew it because you could very easily damage entire box of them if you made mistakes handling them.


I also loaded trucks with pallets full of used plates (they got thrown away immediately after use unless we had another order that used the same plates) which were extremely heavy, so you had to be careful with the forklift when braking so the back wheels wouldn't lift off the ground. :gonk: Very OSHA

Yeah, and even those flexo plates aren't that much. Depending on manufacturer and the tech you're looking at 50 to maybe 200 per plate. They get shredded once the job is done.

And flexo plates go bad when left out anyway. They're hardened with UV light (most commonly, anyway) and degrade when left in the open.

That's what the pissed off customer service person told me, she mentioned that certain customers like Lindt spend up to $3k for print plates and cutting dies. That number might include design lab services as well.

*I think the plant ran a Bobst 924 and Martin 1636.

The dies certainly could be up in that cost range, because those are a big metal thing with precisely shaped knives on the underside (like an industrial cookie cutter) that has to go into a hydraulic press and withstand thousands to millions of cycles.

The things you posted pictures of are just the silkscreens/printing plates, though, and those are cheap.

This plant used rotary diecutters. The cutting dies are made of wood and are a pain in the rear end to move. They take up tons of floor space. 95% of the tooling hasn't been used for years so the customer decided it would be easier to trash it all and make the new ones as needed.

For some reason the date of the Fukushima disaster is the barrel number of the other barrel.

Barrel on the left refers to the Oi Nuclear Power Plant in Fukui Prefecture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Ci_Nuclear_Power_Plant

Looks like there was a running court battle and public arguments over what to do with it. Maybe this photo dates back to that.

The barrel person probably wasn't happy to hear they finally restarted the younger pair of reactors at that site. Just goes to show, nothing good happens when you mislabel your waste containers.

That was in fact the original size of a stake for vampires. The point wasn't that piercing their heart killed them, it's that they were pinned to the ground by a massive loving fencepost and were unable to get up to go bite people.

Not on that attempt. The device fired, but didn't have enough grip and so it just kinda spun itself off without taking the fuse with it.
They did a second attempt and you can see the thing spinning off a little better in the full video at the timestamp:

What's the reason they didn't detonate the bomb while it was still in the ground? It didn't look like it was near any buildings.

Presumably, an actual explosion results in a lot more cleanup work afterwards, so it's good to avoid that where possible.

Of course the whole reason they use that gizmo is because there's a very real possibility that the bomb just goes off on its own when the fuse is removed. If it isn't okay for the bomb to go off where it is, they'd have to do other stuff to make it okay before they try anything.
