Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
An abrasive raw material blender is a manufacturing job that blends abrasives, the main raw material for ceramics and abrasive materials, to adjust the raw material composition with specified characteristics.
Description
Abrasive raw material blenders accurately weigh abrasives, which form the basis of abrasive materials and ceramics products, and mix and blend them using machines or by hand. The work processes include raw material incoming inspection, setting blending ratios, dry and wet mixing, quality testing, lot management, and safety and health management. They collaborate with production lines to engage in integrated production, playing a role in supporting efficient manufacturing while maintaining quality.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor-saving in manufacturing advance the automation of blending processes, specialized personnel who handle fine adjustments and quality control will continue to be needed. With the expansion of demand for high-performance materials, the need for blending technicians is expected to remain stable.
