Classification
Summary
Operates magnetic separators and dryers to remove metal foreign matter from abrasive raw materials and perform appropriate drying processes in a manufacturing role.
Description
Magnetic Separation Workers (Abrasives Drying Workers) handle abrasive raw materials for polishing on production lines, using magnetic separators to remove foreign matter such as iron powder and metal pieces. They then uniformly dry the abrasives using rotary dryers or box-type dryers. Tasks include feeding raw materials, setting machines (rotation speed and temperature control), quality inspection of products, management of work records, safety checks, cleaning, and simple maintenance. As routine line work, shift work is common.
Future Outlook
Even as manufacturing automation advances, machine operation and on-site monitoring are necessary for quality assurance, so demand remains stable. With the advancement of equipment, career opportunities in maintenance and management roles are increasing.
