Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker who processes raw materials used in ceramic manufacturing into fine powder using a pulverizer and adjusts to the particle size suitable for the next process.
Description
Ceramic Raw Material Grinders process ceramic raw materials such as clay, feldspar, and silica stone into a specified fine powder using pulverizers such as rotary mills and ball mills, achieving a particle size distribution suitable for the next process of raw material blending. Tasks include feeding raw materials, setting and adjusting pulverizing conditions, particle size testing, monitoring machine operation, collecting discharged materials, inspecting and cleaning equipment, and safety and health management. For stable product quality, precise particle size adjustment and machine maintenance are crucial, requiring regular sample testing and equipment maintenance.
Future Outlook
Although demand for manual pulverization work is declining due to advances in labor-saving measures and automation, the expertise of workers skilled in advanced particle size control and fine pulverization technology is expected to remain in demand to a certain extent.
