Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing operator who uses machinery to perform a series of production processes from washing to peeling, syrup cooking, canning filling, heat sterilization, and packaging using mandarin oranges as raw material.
Description
Mandarin orange canning workers produce canned products using mandarin oranges as raw material in factories. Received mandarins are washed and sorted, pre-processed by peeling and syrup cooking, then filled into cans using filling machines. The filled cans are heat-sterilized in retort kettles, cooled, and then go through packaging processes such as labeling and case packing before shipment. They properly operate production line machinery, conduct quality inspections, and manage hygiene to support safe and stable product supply. The work involves standing and may include shift work.
Future Outlook
While automation of production lines and introduction of robots are progressing, skills for stably supplying high-quality products will continue to be required. Demand for simple tasks is decreasing, but demand for those with experience in equipment maintenance and quality assurance is expected to remain steady or increase.
