Microporous Plate Worker (Glass Fiber Products)
びこうばんこう（がらすせんいせいひん）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation manufactures glass fiber products (microporous plates) with fine pores. It produces parts used for filtration and separation through processes such as forming, drying, firing, and polishing.
Description
Microporous plate workers (glass fiber products) blend raw materials such as glass fiber and binders, form them by pressing or casting, and then manufacture glass fiber products (microporous plates) with fine pores through processes such as drying, firing, and polishing. They operate manufacturing equipment, adjust firing conditions by managing temperature and time, conduct quality inspections for pore size and density, and perform finishing processes. The products are used as filtration filters or separation components, and inspections are carried out using measuring instruments such as microscopes and thickness gauges. Safety and health management, such as measures against high-temperature environments and dust, is also important.
Future Outlook
With the increasing demand for fine filtration materials for electronic components and medical filters, the demand for microporous plate manufacturing technicians is expected to remain stable. The introduction of automation and labor-saving technologies will advance, and improving production efficiency will be a challenge.
