Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker specializing in flock processing, which attaches short fibers to the surface of rubber products using static electricity.
Description
Flock processing workers (rubber) adhere flock fibers to designated areas of rubber products to impart special functions or textures to the surface. First, they clean and dry the product surface and apply adhesive evenly. Next, they use an electrostatic flocking device to spray the fibers and fix them with static electricity. Finally, they remove excess fibers, solidify and dry them, and perform visual inspections and quality checks. Managing environmental conditions and device settings is important to maintain stable quality.
Future Outlook
While the introduction of automation technology is progressing, demand for special processing remains stable. Securing skilled workers is expected to be a challenge.
