Ep 12. Cell Door Explosion

In the twelfth episode of Scrap Kings season 1, titled "Cell Door Explosion," the team of expert scrap metal salvagers take on a challenging project in a high-security prison. The episode opens with a scene of the Scrap Kings team receiving a call from the prison authorities for a unique contract where they have to demolish and recycle the prison cell doors. The challenge presented to them was to completely dispose of the metal cell doors, and turning them into scrap metal that can be recycled.

As the team arrives on the site, they are presented with the daunting task of working in an arduous environment with strict security measures in place. They soon realize that the prison cell doors are large, heavy, and made of various types of metal, which makes the cutting and scrapping process difficult.

The first hurdle they face is that the doors are still in use, which makes it impossible to cut them down while still attached to the cell bars. The team comes up with a solution by creating a clamplike mechanism that grips onto the doors, making it possible for them to be safely separated from the cell bars and carried away with ease.

Once they have removed the doors, the next challenge arises: removing the paint and rust buildup that has accumulated over time. The team decides to use a blasting mechanism that will help to strip the paint, rust, and other impurities off the metal. The team is amazed to see the transformation as the saw marks and blast have removed the layers of elements from the metal and exposed a clean and fresh surface that is ready for recycling.

The team also has to be mindful of the restricted environment and minimize the noise levels during the scrapping process to ensure they do not disturb the ongoing daily operations of the prison. Despite the difficult working conditions, the team worked tirelessly to complete the task ahead of schedule, with the end result turning out to be more than satisfactory.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the challenges that the Scrap Kings face when dealing with recycling cell doors from a high-security prison, including working in confined spaces, dealing with heavy-duty materials, and navigating security measures while trying to complete the job efficiently.

Overall, the "Cell Door Explosion" episode of Scrap Kings provides a fascinating insight into the world of scrap metal salvage, demonstrating the skill and creativity required to handle challenging projects successfully. It shows the resilience of the Scrap Kings team in dealing with challenging projects and the dedication and commitment they bring to every project they undertake, no matter how difficult.
