Acetal Resin Manufacturing Worker
あせたーるじゅしせいぞうこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Acetal resin manufacturing workers handle everything from the synthesis of polyacetal resin (POM) to extrusion and injection molding, performing product quality control and production efficiency optimization as manufacturing technicians.
Description
Acetal resin manufacturing workers polymerize formaldehyde or trioxane, raw materials for polyacetal (POM), together with catalysts, purify the reaction products, and then perform pelletizing, extrusion processing, and injection molding. Through operation and monitoring of polymerization reaction equipment, extruders, and injection molding machines on the production line, they manage process parameters such as temperature and pressure, and conduct quality control based on product dimensional accuracy and physical property tests (MFI measurement, tensile strength tests, etc.).
Regular equipment inspections and maintenance, as well as troubleshooting during abnormalities, are also important tasks. They contribute to building efficient production systems while complying with safety and health regulations and chemical substance handling management. Additionally, they collaborate with production technology, quality assurance, and research and development departments to promote the introduction of new resin grades and process improvements.
Future Outlook
While stable demand is anticipated due to the need for high-performance resins in automobiles and precision equipment, advanced process management skills will be required as manufacturing processes advance toward automation and smart factories.
