What is THAT?! 😳🤯 #australia @veem_ltd

Part 2 of our unforgettable trip to visit VEEM Marine is coming to the channel. Stay Tuned

Is that GOLD?? 😳🤯 #australia #VEEM

The briquette machine crushes the machining swarf into a high-density briquette, suitable for re-use in the metal melting process. Machining swarf is the left-over cuts produced by the machining process, performed on castings that we make in our foundry. Even though castings are already close to shape, the machining process is carried out to bring the castings to within microns of the design in critical areas.

Typically, loose swarf is difficult to handle in the furnace and create smoke pollution as the cooling fluids used in the machining process are burned off. In addition, the shape of the machining swarf causes inefficiency in the metal melting process. By compressing the swarf in small briquettes (that look like 50c pieces stacked about 30mm high), the cutting fluid is squeezed out and the furnace performs more efficiently, saving energy and substantially reducing hydrocarbon pollution from the smoke. (quoted from Veem's site).

True- your touch is gold. Let Rico help out once in a while :)

[maccant]

Ha I was right! Guessed it all those weeks ago from the top of Australia!

We put down a deposit on the veem inboard screws and we havent found our boat yet. Thanks for the videos of this company and yours. Cant wait to get our new baby, then these fuel saving beasts 😅

[MrSafetyForever]

Well you have me stumped for sure! Take Care

[markmccann]

Looks like brass or bronze ingots that are going to the furnace to be melted down and get cast into a new propeller

[timetodopatriotstuff]

That's cool you see this all the time in wood shops but I've never seen a briquette press in a metal shop good stuff 😮

[Duh]

Loose metal shavings are a fire hazard, this is a great way of circumventing the issue.

Brass Spinning Balls for Gyro Girl, it's all about stability and the "Big Smooth"

[robertsloane]

I was thinking bronze or brass for underwater items like sea cocks or shaft bushings, or rudder bushings????

[HumphreyJames]

A special alloy for VEEM SHARROW props?

[davemillan]

I think I have seen the same come out of an elephant at the rear.

[RichDoes..]

shove one in each pocket... pay off your boat! Lol

[steveowens]

If they have that much gold, they are charging too much for the product (and not paying enough for security)!

[mrb]

I know it's not gold just from the way your holding it plus gold bar's don't look like this.
