Summary
Occupation that fills molds used for casting glass products with refractory materials and release agents, and performs assembly, finishing, dimensional inspection, and maintenance.
Description
Glass mold fillers are workers in the glass product manufacturing process who fill casting molds with refractory materials and release agents, and perform mold assembly and disassembly, dimensional inspection, surface finishing, and maintenance tasks. Since molds are poured with high-temperature molten glass, they require high refractory performance and precise dimensions. Through processes such as material mixing and kneading, application of release agents, and drying management, the molds are finished and supplied to the production line. In case of mold wear or damage, repairs or remakes are performed to maintain product quality.
Future Outlook
While labor-saving and automation technologies are advancing, skilled technicians are needed for complex shapes and high-precision molds, and stable demand is expected.
