Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that uses a jigger dyeing machine to uniformly dye fabrics, performing tasks from processing to quality inspection.
Description
Jigger dye workers wind fabric onto a jigger dyeing machine and repeatedly pass it through the dye bath to achieve uniform dyeing. They handle dye formulation, temperature control, and timing control. After dyeing, they perform washing, neutralization, and drying processes, then inspect for color unevenness and dye fixation. Since they handle chemical agents during operations, safety and health management, as well as regular machine inspections and maintenance, are required.
Future Outlook
Due to the contraction of the domestic textile industry, job openings are on a decreasing trend, but demand for high-value-added products and special dyeing technologies is expected to remain to some extent.
