Summary
In the glass manufacturing process within the ceramics industry, this occupation involves sorting and removing impurities from cullet (small fragments) used as raw material to prepare raw materials of suitable quality for production.
Description
Glass cullet sorters are responsible for sorting cullet (recycled glass or fragments of raw glass) used in the pre-process of glass manufacturing, using visual inspection or machinery, and removing impurities and foreign matter. While paying attention to workshop temperature and safety hygiene management, they classify the material according to particle size, color tone, and material quality, and supply it to the melting furnace in the next process. They efficiently ensure quality using both manual labor and machine operation.
Future Outlook
While efficiency improves with the introduction of automation and image recognition technology, the importance of quality control remains consistently high, and skill enhancement for technicians is required.
