Calendar Workers operate calendaring machines in the textile scouring process, adjusting temperature, pressure, and speed to apply heat and pressure to fabrics, achieving gloss and smooth texture. During processing, they continuously monitor the machine's condition and fabric quality to prevent defects. They also handle regular machine maintenance, cleaning, and safety management.
