I would guess that it is an impeller housing for either a water pump or, if used in the reverse, as a turbine housing for a water driven generator. With water entering through the side "fins" and exiting through the large lower opening as it turns the impeller,
base for a raymond roller mill, bull ring fits into top hole, gearbox fits in the bottom and wear plate bolt into the ports to stop it getting into that condition
Seems to check out, looked at some of the principals of operation for a raymond roller mill, and it does look like that, with the fins shaped that way because of resource extrication being toroidal pressured air, so it is pneumatics and not hydrolics as people seem to assume. Nice catch.
I recognize this frame as a mount for a pump or more likely a generator of some kind. This “repair” amounts to a bandaid. Without fixing the “vortex fins” (Worn by cavitation or abrasion and should have a wing like cross section) those bolts are short term at best.
It looks like the base of a water turbine. If the bearings were out of alignment or the impeller out of balance, that could cause cracking and failure we can see.
Being cast iron it would be difficult to repair , its a good repair , just the pins are in the water flow , suspect a newly cast one is in its future, if it was cast steel it could be welded , but it looks cast iron , a sparkle test woukd prove it
@@kwinterburnThe supports look worn out by cavitation or whatever slurry/material ran through it. What they did is not a repair but a very short term bandaid. 🤦🏻♂️
Maybe a stator/base for an O-Sepa classifier for a cement plant? 'Couldn't find an exploded-view drawing quickly, but it will be something like that. 'Problem is that without knowing what it's for, it's difficult to get it even remotely close to correct.
That's some seriously heavy duty shop equipment and some precision work but I was most impressed with was that machinist perched on that flange like a bird. It looks like he could have stood there and done the work but he chose to perch.
In plenty of countries things are repaired. Common stuff such as a toaster, worth $20 new? Never. An arm from an earth mover, worth $20,000, currently not in stock with the OEM and not on backorder either. Oh, and will take weeks if not months to obtain fro the OEM. Definitely repaired. The object above looks like an expensive item. Definitely worth repairing an any country. The turbine or pull a, or whatever it is from is going to be locum, much more costly to replace. Let alone time to obtain the replacement unit.
Sad that many of the companies in America sent their work out to be performed in places like this. But then, all of the safety and other government mandated protocols have made working in America too expensive to follow the rules and labor requirements here. But the quality is still "Job One" with these companies! At least they say it is...
I commend the craftmanship and injenuity of the workers. Seems lack of safety shoes will be a forever problem. I noticed a large helical gear sitting in the dirt. I was taught to never get a precision `part get exposed to dirt. I know that the men use rags to clean parts with . Rags (especialy used ones ) just arent good enough in precisions work. Perhas as concrete floor is in the future.
Why wait till the last moment (it was on the back of the vehicle) to drop in the remaining bolts, and then not add the nuts? I bet someone asked "did we make too many bolts n nuts".
"How We Repaired This Giant Thing ...". I wouldn't say that it was a "repair" at all! The number of bolts added were not nearly enough to take the loads that the broken flanges had carried. This must just be the 1st step - all those broken flanges were probably going to be welded while the added bolts held them aligned.
@@1SweetPete I stand corrected, I believe it is a stationary "VOLUTE" for a macerator impeller. BOTTOM INTAKE. Big work there. I would guess 1000 - 1500 horse power. Love the classic old machinery and the "we can fix anything attitude and spirit " keep everyone safe, be well, prayers 🙏.

We can see that the cast pedestal was sheared by torque. If it's returned to service as it is the repair will not last.
There's a definite breach of protocol here...only the boss is wearing safety sandals...
Not to mention all the loose clothing around the machines.

Base of a Raymond mill, for crushing gravel.
Gotta love the safety footwear 😂
Love these videos, can you imagine health and safety lol
Looks like a hydro generator part, but is a part casted onto a mold, to cast more. Or it has a thick frame /housing plate, to bolt to other parts.
Not Hydro. Some sort of large slurry pump part. Waste water or industrial.
Agreed. Look how the vanes are worn. Maybe part of sand dredge.
That's just what I thought.
gotta love the old repairs. And just bolt it together? no welding? How do they know it's flat on top? quick and cheap I guess.
As other have mentioned: Looks like the static part of a large pump / turbine...

Has something to do with hydroelectric turbine...
It used to be the stator of hydroelectric turbine, what is it now only God knows.
Think it’s broken in half
My guess its use is in rock crushing
Looks like the vortex ring off a turbine the turbine itself is bolted to the top ring, looks like it was unbalanced and cracked the supports

Thats a vortex ring ( guide) off a hydro turbine
I think I saw a dean smith and grace- oh my!!!
Holly Molly 😲 I worked with a Dean Smith and Grace cnc lathe 30 years ago and the programs were on ticker tape. 😀😁🤣😅😆.
These men are great shoe makers….seems they can fix anything!
Looks like something is supposed to flow through it, like a stator vane. But what substance? Looks too crude for water. Grain? Gravel?
Maybe a stator/base for an O-Sepa classifier for a cement plant? 'Couldn't find an exploded-view drawing quickly, but it will be something like that. 'Problem is that without knowing what it's for, it's difficult to get it even remotely close to correct.
Sewage treatment possibly.
There will be a bit of obstruction and powerloss even cavitation , but it will function just fine

I think the main piece is cast iron n doesnt need any lube to drill.

It's a pedestal for a vertical pump or pump/turbine.

These guys get more work done by accident than a lot I've seen get done on purpose.

35:20 sure, why secure the load to the truck ? The Thing weighs more than the truck 😂😂
Why wait till the last moment (it was on the back of the vehicle) to drop in the remaining bolts, and then not add the nuts?

Looks like directional vanes for a water turbine
That is severely out of balance.

looks like the base of a ramond mill used to grind stone we used7 of them for limestone
100% right ,worked on a few of them ,looks like a 50" dia 5 roller
I still don't know what it is but it's had a LOT of wear on it. Good fix job though!
You know they do good work when they have a lose goat wandering around in the shop.
In-day pleasures...one of the perks in place of wages!
Every shop needs a safety officer. Some use a dog, this one has a goat.
Goat time stamp please. 😊.
@@myview1875 The fist second. It's a good looking goat I must say.
if you dont know what it is, how do you know what is damaged and then how to fix it?
Water turbin for poker generator
is definatly base or a mill ours were made by c e ramond
If you don't know what it is how can you be sure you fixed it?
I wonder how many have had their clothing torn off by getting caught in machinery.
It's not a proper repair.

I haven't seen all types of cone crushers but that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it.

Just a bit of runout on that drill press….
Could it be the base of a vertical lathe?
Can I ask just what was the repair?
Large sewage macerator pump impeller.
Makes sense

Link to the safety-sandals anyone?
CANT BELIEVE THESE GUYS ARE WORKING WITH FLIP FLOPS ON
You mean safety sandals!
You expect them to work without flip flops? Harsh. /s
It doesn’t matter what it is it’s fucked scrap it. That won’t last 5 minutes.
Do they ever wash there clothes?
