Maintenance tech here, from eaton reno plant. Really like the playlist.

[@dansproshop]

Thank you!!

[@gunlvr29]

Maint tech 3 here. I'm super jealous. I would have had 10 calls in the span of that project. Seems no one knows what a start button is anymore or that when your personal belongings are hanging in the way of the light curtain it won't start.😂

I'm a dyslexic maintenance man for blowmolding in Ohio. But righty losey will eventually work permanently. Lol

So I've said before how I enjoy your videos since this is the field I'm currently going into. So really enjoy seeing the real world application of my lessons in mechatronics, and I do like how you explain things and how you try to explain why you're doing things for safety reasons. I do have one issue, and that's when you were on the step ladder. It's been drilled into my head since I was a young lad, even before I knew I wanted to go into this field, that you don't step on the top step. Things done for expediency are alright until they're not. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

[@moonshadowdrifting]

I like that you've given us an insight into the more workhorse part of your work. It does make me question my path because this sort of task is what I get into.

[@dansproshop]

Industrial maintenance is an awesome field. It really gets you into a lot of different areas!

[@malizia63]

Like Rainman Ray would say "Everything is a hammer"

[@waynevarner3125]

Your videos are awesome. Keep em' coming....I enjoy every one!!!

Thanks! Will do!

If 480V 200A scares you, we just upgraded our main power feed at the processing plant at the farm I work on, from 600V 600A fused to 600V 1000A breaker, Including going from pole pigs to a pad mount transformer. We were starting to overload and blow one of the 600A fuses when we had all of the refrigeration and the processing line running, and then adding the harvest storing equipment. also the fuse had to be changed live as the disconnected did not work properly anymore, thankfully it has now been replaced.

[@Micah4_12]

Skyjacker 19x32, best mobile sawhorse/ladder ever made, and of course the machine being moved has been storage central for some time lol

[@alexdelgadillo1569]

Can you show us more millwright stuff like this :)

[@Gears.and.Gadgets]

That m12 hackzall is one of the best tools I own

[@bobthebuilder6315]

Hay Dan do yourself a favor and spray the chuck on your m12 sawzall with surface shield from blaster, those chucks are notorious for freezing up I know I have one. BTY I'm a big fan of the m12 tools also.

[@dansproshop]

Thanks!

[@gary1143]

Dan when the socket got stuck in the strut, I noticed you didn't have to edit that out. I say that because I say something like you witch or something I would have to edit out if I filmed myself just to let you know you are probably more appropriate at times than I am lol. Then I watched you standing on the top of the ladder at the 42 minute mark.

[@dansproshop]

Lol. That’s why there is a disclaimer at the beginning of all my videos. We’ve all been there

I’ve inspected the chains at Millacrons mfg plants on the far east side of Cincinnati… those things are impressive but also weigh a ton… crazy to see one at the end of its life

[@dansproshop]

Circle of life man…lol

[@brandonbarker7817]

Do you have air lines hooked up to push the water through the return on your machines ? I was surprised to see so much water.

[@dansproshop]

Yes we do. But that machine has been down for a while so things just settled

[@marcgallagher2629]

Those milacrons from the late eighties and nineties were real workhorses but nothing lasts forever, what are they replacing it with?

[@dansproshop]

Either a Tederic or Haitian 700 ton. We haven’t decided yet. Depends on the job and automation needs

[@paulrozinski1488]

This job would be perfect for interns / students to do. Let them have at it and figure out how to take it apart . Wadda they gonna do, break it ???😂😂

[@dansproshop]

I totally agree!

[@Neon-cz9xg]

Is that the plant you work at or do you own it ? It’s impressive better shop then where I work at lol

[@dansproshop]

I’m just the maintenance director at that plant

[@Neon-cz9xg]

@@dansproshop ok nice I am a assembler at a fab shop we weld and assemble racks which holds different kinds of parts like engines manifolds body panels windshields. They are meant to replace pallets since parts can get easily damaged

[@pauljohnson4868]

A lot of the time we only save the control boards if we have similar machines in house. All of the contractors have to many cycles to save. Electric machines we save the drives and motors.

How do you become a maintenance technician?

[@dansproshop]

Just apply!

[@yt-kingdavid2359]

@@dansproshop because i see alot of jobs and they want 2,3, or even5 5 years experience. I went to school for house wiring, have had a few jobs while in high school and right now im doing panel building. ill have about 3 years in and have some college electrical certificates. Ik maintenance is basically everything like plumbing, electrical, and so on but i didn't know what path i should take next in 10 years to help me get there. im in my early 20s. Love your vids!

[@dansproshop]

Thanks so much! Sounds like you’re on the right track. I know it can be frustrating, but keep at it. When you find the right place it will work out. Just gotta knock on some doors. Best of luck to you!!

How big is the biggest press you guys have? We have a couple of 2500 ton structural foam presses. Most of our stuff is fairly large and in charge. From the 70s-90s.

[@dansproshop]

Our biggest injection press is 800 ton. The plant isn’t that big. We have to keep machine size manageable

[@stanleyroberts2461]

Dan you were doing so well untill you stood on top of your ladder. Safety says not to stand on the top of ladder. Why not use your sissior lift? All you need is your safety man to walk by asnd give5 you the busness of safety service. Read the instuctions on the ladder😥😭😭😭

I know, I know, can’t win em all. That’s why I put a disclaimer on all my videos. Lol
