Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that uses machines to twist, draw, and finish raw materials such as cotton and synthetic fibers to manufacture yarns that meet specifications.
Description
Processed Yarn Workers operate spinning machines (such as twisting machines, drawing machines, and texturing machines), processing raw fibers through steps like twisting, drawing, dyeing, and drying to produce yarn. They handle machine adjustments and maintenance, adjustments to yarn twist and fineness, quality inspections, analysis of non-conforming products, and implementation of improvements. They maintain efficiency and safety on the production line while stably mass-producing products that meet specified standards.
Future Outlook
Due to intensifying competition in the domestic textile industry, traditional production positions are declining, but the demand for Processed Yarn Workers with specialized skills is expected to be maintained to some extent due to the expansion in demand for high-value-added yarns and functional fibers. Acquiring automation and quality control skills will be advantageous for career development.
