Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Thick slate manufacturing workers mix cement and aggregates, and manufacture thick slates used for roofing materials through processes such as forming, drying, and firing.
Description
Thick slate manufacturing workers blend raw materials such as cement, fibrous materials, and pigments, form them using kneaders or presses, adjust the moisture content in drying rooms, and complete the product by high-temperature firing in kilns. After manufacturing, they perform cooling, dimensional inspection, and appearance inspection to check for durability and warping. Operation and maintenance of production line machinery, as well as safety and health management, are important, and attention is required for dust countermeasures and quality control.
Future Outlook
Due to the diversification of building materials and the spread of metal roofing materials, demand is flat to slightly decreasing. However, steady demand is expected for applications requiring durability and design.
