Toothbrushes, Tweezers, Toilet Paper, & Other Hygiene Products | How It's Made | Science Channel

[@AManwithaB0x]

I know a lot of people want to see a How It's Made segment about the manufacturing machines themselves, but I can safely say (as someone who works in manufacturing) that the majority of those machines are custom built for the job. In other words they're completely unique. I'm sure there are some high-demand machines they could cover, but those would be hard to find. Edit: Case in point, that tablet press has quite a few uses in both medicine and candy, like what we see with the mints, so that one could certainly get a segment.

[@toddavis8151]

But it could be interesting to see the whole process of designing then actually building these unique machines

[@jeffreystarks]

One of my clients is an engineer who makes those machines and we were talking about how long it takes to go from idea, to successfully making the product and it's a long process. I feel like any machine would be awesome to see, not just.the ones that have the ability to make multiple items such as the candy/pills one. Btw, I think.its funny that two items that you definitely don't want to mix up comes from the same machine lol .

[@redneckhippiefreak]

I think they could do a series. Start with conveyer belts, chain drives, air actuators ect. They have most of the machinery making documented already, it would be a matter of dedicating an episode to each "industry" Chip/ Auto/Food/Alum extrusion ect...

[@redneckhippiefreak]

@@jeffreystarks Machines are amazing. My Step Dad was an engineer with RJR. One of the most impressive machines I ever saw was a Cigarette roller. Tobacco in one end, an entire overhead array for incoming paper, fet, glue, foil and cardboard at marriage. Cases of cigarettes out the back packed and ready to ship. It was 500 feet from end to end with 3/4 mile of channel and trai in a 12 ft X 10 ft x 500 ft package. The whole process took 16 seconds and in that time it would spit out 3000 rolled cigarettes for an average of 12,000 per min.. Each machine was Designed and built in Germany by Fauke. The machine was assigned an engineer who would fully assemble the machine on site as it was built. . He then traveled wherever that machine went for the rest of its life of his employment in the field. . My Step Dad destructed, and rebuilt his machine. (FK12k) 5 times in 35 years. Germany to England, England to Winston Salem NC, Wnst to Richmond, Rch to Singapore, Sgp to Jakarta, where it resides today. I still have the Winston Salem Warehouse Brass on my wall. It was a line graph/Sinewave plaque of the frequency of the Building and the two dotted waves the machine was supposed to stay in. The 3- 12 ton rollers/cutter mills turned at 22krpm, so naturally, it roared when at full speed. They were more than impressive though. He once made an adjustment with a 5 foot long allen key that had a dial indicator on in.. A noise I didn't notice, disappeared, the whole room was just different. . He had some stories too. I wish I still had the pictures and video of the "RJR Disaster".. His colleague put off a fix..That resulted in the roller tossing a blade, So-- This 500 foot long machine had pulled itself loose from the flooring anchors. (56- 3/4 bolts) shrunk by 40 feet in length as the roller/cutter box, went full- washing machine with a brick in it, . It took flight and folded up and over the marriage section... it pulled the loading box, the first set of shredders and 30 feet of hopper (+3 tons of tobacco and 25 tons of machinery) along for the ride like a train of destruction behind it. It was all over in less than 10 seconds but, it was still unnervingly slow given the size. Impressive, does not really fit that. XP.

Digitisation complete with de-interlacing artefacts. I'm so happy this series is finally making it to KZbin.

[@happytrails5342]

What?

[@tanzanite6695]

I'm so happy How It's Made has been digitalized. Loads of memories of watching the episodes are coming back; and now in full HD! haha

[@hughjanus6975]

It's always been an HD "digital" show, I remember watching it on a 720p flat screen in 2009.

[@nikkiewhite476]

​@@hughjanus6975a lot of the older videos from the 1980's and 90's weren't digitized originally. I think the op meant that the videos are now available on the internet for public use.

Where's Tony Hirst?? He's the one and only 'how it's made' narrator.

[@daveys]

I do find it weird not hearing Tony’s voice while watching these, but they were narrated by different people in each country. I only just learned that How it’s Made was a Canadian programme.

Toothbrushes have coloured bristles for an indication of when to change the brush and not for esthetic reasons.

[@nikibordeaux]

The (AI generated?) music drives me crazy. It's not suitable as background music.

[@Dutch.W]

lol, no. It’s called Muzak and is just widely available ip copyright music used for lobbys, telephone hold systems, old computer programs, waiting rooms, elevators, tv shows, and restrooms back in the day. It’s like the 90s and older version of lofi mood music and none of it was AI.

[@nikibordeaux]

@@Dutch.W I know what Muzak is, and in contrast to some of the music used here, it's unobtrusive. Because that's the aim of Muzak, being unobtrusive and not going on one's nerves.

[@abbygrapes]

The music under the cotton swabs made it unwatchable

[@duke3187]

band-aid's not bandage's

[@kayleefletcher9335]

I love to fall asleep to these. I remember when I'd go to my godfathers house I'd always spend super early mornings watching this while intermittently napping until it finally got daylight enough I could get in my 4 foot deep little pool in his backyard. Then in the afternoon I'd watch it while I ate lunch and then I'd take another nap because I was only 7 and a pool made me tired especially after spending 3 hours jumping and splashing and doing tricks

[@Davincifier]

The tissue segment reminded me of how various paper products used to be available in different colors. Tissues, toilet paper, paper towels-- all came in a variety of colors from about the 1960's until the 1980's. I'm not sure why that stopped.

[@ultracurious]

I had completely forgotten about coloured tissues, etc. When I was a kid, my grandma would sometimes buy me pink Kleenex. The pink tissue was a little luxury that took a bit of the sting out of being stuck with a cold. Thank you for reminding me 😃

[@MaximilianonMars]

Cost, environmental concerns, dangerous dyes? Just guesses.

[@marigeobrien]

@@MaximilianonMars Yes, I suppose. I remember, when I bought my first home that had a septic tank rather than being hooked up to a sewer (in 1987), I was warned not to use colored tissues or toilet paper as they did not break down as well.

[@bec9696]

I had this memory that I wasn't sure was real of my grandmother having pink toilet paper. Now I know I wasn't imagining it😂

[@rebekahsearcy8986]

I burned my leg on a motorcycle, and when my stepmom and her mom ran out of actual bandages, they used paper towels and wrapped my leg up with it, and taped it to keep it on. I still have the scar. Never wear shorts when riding a motorcycle.

[@bec9696]

Anyone else catch onto the part where packaging those band-aids in air tight packaging doesn't even remotely make them "sterile"? Good to know. I mean the one worker was just feeding the machine with their bare hands. How are these "sterile" if there's already germs on them in the first place?

[@dinohall2595]

They didn't say the air-tight packaging was what sterilized the bandages. They were probably sterilized by heat. Sometimes they don't show footage of some steps due to time constraints.
