Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker who uses copper induction furnaces to melt and refine copper materials, handling quality control and safe operations.
Description
Copper induction furnace operators charge raw copper materials into induction furnaces (electromagnetic induction heating furnaces), and manage furnace temperatures while performing melting and refining operations. Tasks include monitoring power and cooling systems, slag removal, quality verification through periodic metal analysis, and operation of safety devices. The work environment involves high temperatures and noise, so personal protective equipment must be worn, and work proceeds according to procedures compliant with the Industrial Safety and Health Act. Depending on skill level, they may also handle equipment maintenance, production management, and training of juniors.
Future Outlook
Due to increasing demand for high-purity copper in electronics and renewable energy fields, demand for specialized refining technicians will remain stable. With the introduction of IoT and automation technologies, acquiring advanced control technologies and data analysis skills will be required in the future.
