Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Feed dehydration workers remove excess moisture from raw materials for livestock and aquaculture feed, adjusting it to the specified moisture content to stabilize quality.
Description
Feed dehydration workers mechanically remove excess moisture contained in feed raw materials to achieve stable feed quality and improved storability. The equipment they operate includes centrifugal separators and rotary dryers, etc., where they adjust set temperatures and rotation speeds while performing moisture measurements (such as the loss-on-drying method). They are also responsible for daily machine inspections, minor maintenance work, safety and health management, creating manufacturing records, and checking quality standards. For improving line efficiency and energy saving, they may also adjust equipment and make improvement proposals.
Future Outlook
With the increasing importance of quality stabilization and energy saving in livestock farming and fisheries, the demand for feed dehydration technology is growing. There is a trend toward requiring knowledge of line operations utilizing IoT and automation technologies.
