Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that manufactures artificial lightweight aggregates by blending and forming raw materials such as clay and slag, and firing them in a rotary kiln.
Description
Artificial lightweight aggregate manufacturing workers produce artificial lightweight aggregates used in construction lightweight concrete. First, raw materials such as clay, shale, and blast furnace slag are mixed and stirred uniformly. Then, the raw materials are pelletized and fired at high temperature in a rotary kiln. After firing, the products undergo cooling, classification, quality inspection, and shipment. Knowledge and skills in production process management, quality control, equipment maintenance, and safety management are required.
Future Outlook
Although influenced by fluctuations in construction demand, stable demand is expected due to the needs for energy-saving and high-performance lightweight concrete. Production efficiency will improve with the introduction of automation technology and energy-saving furnaces, making the advanced development of skilled workers a challenge.
