Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Hanmouki operators are manufacturing workers who operate hanmouki machines to separate and adjust fibers for raw materials, reusing discarded or surplus fibers.
Description
Hanmouki operators process discarded or unnecessary wool products and fiber scraps using hanmouki machines (machines that loosen fibers), opening the fibers to prepare them as usable recycled raw materials. In addition to machine operation and adjustment, they make setting changes based on fiber types and quality, perform machine maintenance inspections, and manage safety and hygiene. In recent years, with increasing environmental considerations and recycling demand, their role in the fiber recycling field has become important.
Future Outlook
With rising environmental awareness and promotion of a circular society, demand in the fiber recycling field is increasing. In the future, efficiency gains from automation and IoT implementation are possible.
