Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Dry nonwoven fabric makers produce nonwoven fabrics from fiber raw materials using the dry forming method, handling processes from machine operation to quality inspection and product winding.
Description
Dry nonwoven fabric makers feed fiber raw materials such as polypropylene or polyester, form them into sheets using the airlaid method or carding machines, and then manufacture nonwoven fabrics through processes like needle punching or thermal bonding. They adjust line speed, manage raw material supply, control temperature, inspect product weight and thickness, perform roll winding, and handle initial responses and maintenance in case of machine troubles. To balance production efficiency and quality, they utilize 5S and QC techniques and are required to work with consideration for safety and health.
Future Outlook
Demand for nonwoven fabrics in hygiene materials, filter materials, and automotive interiors is expanding, and with advances in automation and labor reduction, higher levels of machine maintenance and quality management are required.
