Pasta Dies, Blueberries, Composting Toilets, Surge Arresters

How It's Made – Season 28

Metal blanks are precision-machined with shaped openings and inserts to create dies that extrude pasta into different forms. Blueberries are cultivated, harvested, graded and prepared for distribution; waste chambers, ventilation systems and supporting components are assembled into composting toilets; and voltage-sensitive elements are enclosed in insulated housings to produce surge arresters that protect electrical equipment.
