Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing technician who processes abrasive grains, the raw material for abrasives, into fine powder using a crusher.
Description
Abrasive raw material grinders process abrasive grains (such as alumina and silicon carbide) used as raw materials for ceramics and grinding materials from lumps or granules into predetermined particle sizes using crushers (ball mills, impact mills, roller mills, etc.), and perform sieving (classification). They handle tasks from raw material feeding, machine operation, equipment inspection and maintenance, dust control measures, and quality inspection. Since particle size directly affects product characteristics, they carefully manage machine operating conditions, temperature, and humidity.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the need for industrial abrasives, but there is a possibility of progress in automation and labor reduction.
