Summary
Manufacturing operator who pulverizes and mixes raw materials for chemical products using a ball mill and adjusts them to the specified particle size and properties.
Description
Ball mill workers are professionals who operate and manage ball mills, machines used for pulverizing and mixing raw materials in chemical product manufacturing. They handle tasks from feeding raw materials, setting and monitoring operating conditions (such as rotation speed, processing time, and temperature), collecting product samples and measuring particle size, to initial responses during abnormalities. They also conduct regular machine inspections, maintenance, cleaning work, and comply with safety and hygiene management regulations. In recent years, with the advancement of process monitoring automation and quality data analysis, knowledge of equipment optimization and efficiency improvement is also required.
Future Outlook
Due to automation of production processes and demand for high-performance materials, demand for specialized technicians is expected to remain stable. On the other hand, as labor reduction and robotization progress, market value will increase by also possessing machine maintenance and data analysis capabilities.
