Summary
Brush manufacturing workers produce various brush products such as paintbrushes, toothbrushes, and cosmetic brushes. They are responsible for everything from preparing raw materials to implanting bristles, forming, finishing, and inspecting, combining machine operations with detailed manual work to maintain quality while achieving mass production.
Description
Brush manufacturing workers combine bristle materials (such as nylon or natural hair) with handles, using tufting machines and trimming machines to form brush products. The work processes include selecting and preparing raw materials, dividing and bundling bristle tufts, implanting into handles, adhering and fixing, finishing by trimming, and product inspection and packaging. For each process, machine setup adjustments and manual fine-tuning are required, advancing efficient line work while performing inspections according to quality standards. During operations, safety devices and protective gear are used, and feedback is provided for machine maintenance and quality improvement.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor-saving technologies are advancing, demand for manual work continues for small-lot or specialty products. Acquiring skills in robotics and IoT-based quality control is expected to enhance future market value.
