Summary
A manufacturing job that produces abrasive materials such as abrasive cloth (sandpaper) from raw fabric, handling processes like coating, drying, grit sorting, cutting, and inspection.
Description
Abrasive cloth manufacturers apply adhesive and abrasive grains to fabric, then dry and sinter it, sort it to the appropriate grit size, perform slitter processing, and conduct finishing inspections to produce high-precision abrasive cloth. They handle a wide range of tasks including machine operation, quality control, raw material management, line changeovers, and machine maintenance. They use automatic coating machines and drying furnaces, and it is important to check grit size and uniformity, which directly affect product performance.
