Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Workers who visually or mechanically sort and classify limestone blocks, the raw material for lime, by size and quality to provide materials suitable for the manufacturing process.
Description
Lime sorting workers are professionals in the lime manufacturing process who sort and classify raw limestone blocks or slaked lime after calcination using visual inspection or machines such as vibrating sieves and air blowers. They perform manual removal of foreign matter, sorting by particle size, and packing the sorted products into transport containers. The factory environment involves dust and noise, with some processes reaching high temperatures, requiring safety measures and the use of dust-proof and protective gear. Shift work is common, involving prolonged standing and requiring a certain level of physical strength.
Future Outlook
Amid labor-saving and automation in manufacturing, demand for traditional manual work is decreasing due to the introduction of automation technology in sorting processes. On the other hand, personnel with knowledge in equipment management and quality control are expected to have sustained demand.
