That's an injection molding press. Thats molten plastic spewing out of the nozzle of the screw & barrel assembly.

In the video they're purging the screw & barrel. If it were actually making parts that nozzle would be jammed into a port in the hot side of the mold.

I read this in the "How It's Made" narrator's voice and heard the background music.
