Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical position responsible for the preparation process from weighing and mixing raw materials to charging into reactors in the chemical product manufacturing process.
Description
Chemical raw material preparation workers are specialized operators who handle powders, liquids, solvents, catalysts, and other raw materials used in the initial stages of product manufacturing. They refer to work instruction sheets (recipes), accurately measure raw materials using scales or automatic weighing devices, mix them in stirrers or mixing tanks, and then charge them into reactors or production lines. During the process, they monitor temperature, pressure, pH, etc., wear safety protective equipment, and comply with emergency procedures. They maintain consistent product quality through data entry in logbooks and collaboration with quality inspection staff.
Future Outlook
Demand for stable supply of chemical products remains steady, but automation and digitalization are advancing to address strengthened safety and environmental regulations and labor shortages. Operators will increasingly be required to have capabilities in process monitoring and control using IoT and data utilization.
