Summary
This occupation involves operating and monitoring equipment that melts nylon raw materials and forms them into thin threads using an extruder, while maintaining product quality.
Description
Nylon yarn extrusion operators melt nylon resin at the appropriate temperature and then operate and monitor extruders that form it into thin fibers through dedicated dies (extrusion molds). Tasks include managing melting temperature and pressure, checking die conditions, and adjusting cooling and take-up devices. They measure product diameter and tension, fine-tuning the line to meet quality standards. They also perform initial responses to equipment abnormalities, create records, and report them. They support stable production through shift work, following safety rules and work procedures.
