Summary
A manufacturing technician who uses methods such as distillation to extract and refine essential oils (mint oil) from peppermint, and handles quality control and packaging.
Description
Peppermint manufacturing workers use harvested peppermint leaves and stems as raw materials to operate distillation equipment and separation devices to produce essential oils. The work processes include raw material pretreatment (drying and pulverization), distillation, cooling, oil-water separation, concentration, refining, filling and packaging, and shipping inspection. To maintain quality, various tests such as specific gravity measurement and refractive index measurement are performed, and manufacturing records are managed. In addition, machine maintenance, daily inspections, safety and health management, and cleaning of the workplace are part of the duties. Operations often involve shift work according to production plans, requiring a certain level of physical strength and attention.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of demand for aromatherapy and natural fragrances, the demand for high-quality essential oil manufacturing technicians is expected to be maintained to a certain extent. On the other hand, the advancement of automation and labor reduction will make efficiency in production processes a challenge.
