Classification
Summary
A profession that performs operations to sort powder by particle size using sifting machines in the flour milling process and manage quality.
Description
Flour milling sifting workers sort the powder after grain crushing by particle size using classification machines such as vibrating sieves or air sieves. Operators handle machine operation, powder feeding, switching of discharge ports, collection of powders of each grade, and maintain the specified particle size. They also perform quality inspections (visual inspection or sieve tests), machine cleaning and maintenance, and safety and hygiene management. Since dust is prone to occur inside the factory, it is necessary to wear protective gear and properly carry out cleaning work and environmental management.

Food demand is stable, and while the introduction of automation machines is progressing, there is a sustained need for technicians who handle machine monitoring and adjustment.
