Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves operating and monitoring the glass fiber manufacturing line from raw material feeding through melting, spinning, drawing, and winding to produce high-quality glass fibers.
Description
Glass fiber manufacturing equipment operators handle the operation and monitoring of the manufacturing line where raw materials such as silica and soda ash are melted at high temperatures and thin glass fibers are continuously drawn from spinning devices. They adjust parameters such as furnace temperature, drawing speed, and winding tension to manage the product's fiber diameter, strength, and uniformity. They regularly inspect and maintain the equipment and promptly perform troubleshooting when abnormalities occur. They contribute to stable production using safety and health management as well as quality control techniques.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor-saving technologies are advancing, the demand for skilled workers capable of quality control and equipment troubleshooting remains stable due to the expansion of applications in composite materials.
