Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation manufactures ropes through processes such as yarn twisting and braiding using manila hemp as raw material. It handles everything from raw material selection to finishing in an integrated manner.
Description
Manila rope manufacturers feed manila hemp fibers into twisting machines and twist multiple strands together to make ropes as their main tasks. The manufacturing process includes raw material inspection and preparation, yarn twisting, braiding, quality inspection (visual and strength testing), finishing processes, and packaging. To maintain uniform strength and dimensional accuracy, machine adjustments, regular maintenance, and work environment management are also important.
Future Outlook
Due to the spread of synthetic fiber ropes, demand for traditional manila ropes is limited, but stable demand is expected to continue in some special applications such as decorations and ship supplies.
