Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Fakuchisu manufacturing workers are specialists who produce plasticizers (Fakuchisu) through chemical reactions of raw materials such as castor oil. They handle the entire process from raw material blending to reaction control, molding, drying, and quality inspection, emphasizing safety management and product quality maintenance.
Description
Fakuchisu manufacturing workers mainly charge castor oil and sulfur, etc., into reaction equipment, and heat and stir while reacting for a specified period of time. After the reaction, they separate moisture and by-products, form into lumps with a hot compression molding machine, and dry in a dryer. In each process, they measure and control temperature, pressure, viscosity, etc., and perform quality inspections via sampling. Daily inspections and cleaning of manufacturing equipment, troubleshooting, and collaboration with the safety department are also important. They work rotating shifts, thoroughly manage safety and hygiene, and support the stable supply of JIS standards-compliant products.
Future Outlook
Although the number of workers is decreasing due to advances in labor-saving measures and automation, demand for process engineers and quality assurance personnel is expected to remain stable in response to environmental regulations and the development of high value-added materials.
