Gosh, I hope not!
It appears to be some sort of part tumbler or washer.

I know it's not butter. but a vibratory cleaner,deburrer, tumbler thingy is a good answer.I hope it dont have any aluminum in there....it may get pulverized to dust...of coarse they may be making aluminum dust.:headscratch:

biscut maker
Grease trap
Looks like a big heat exchanger to me. It is really clean inside except for that nasty looking sludge.
I was joking about the biscuit maker...it does look like a heat exchanger of some sort, possiably to chill the gressee in the trap so they could pull it out and put it in the tubes for the gresse guns..:idea::headshake::gunfire::smash:
I thought the grease went to USA fast food places.
no to ford & gm for their chassis's
Surely is a heat exchanger with tubes being cleaned & polished by extrude-hone process. Something like Silly-Putty with abrasive grains.
Really slick technology!
I must have misunderstood the rules for this thread, or perhaps there aren't any. I thought the idea was to correctly guess the process. But, I like where Marksbug has been going with this: come up with the most laughable, madcap, or absurd answer.
Well I don't know what it is but I can relate to it first thing in the morning...
That's probably why it hurts...
Looks more like a chemical cleaning process for an exchanger. Cleaning agent goes in, dissolves the crud, solidifies and pulls out with the junk attached.
Jimirvin and Hoosiersmoker, thank you that makes sense, I was really lost with what was going on.

I think inethegroovy guy has too much iron in his diet and not enough water....you need more water. I do miss playing on the water.
60% of what I drink is water...
Hi Jon:
This is a cotton picking machine. The spindles catch the cotton fibers and the wrap up on the spindle. On the other side the spindles reverse rotation and unload the fiber. There is a bevel gear on each spindle and the wear is high. The spindles only last a few years before they need replacements.
