Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Polymerization spinning machine operators melt or dissolve polymers and produce fibrous filaments using spinning machines. They handle everything from raw material blending to equipment operation, quality control, and winding.
Description
Polymerization spinning machine operators heat and melt plastic or synthetic resin raw materials, or use spinning machines (spinners) to form solutionized polymers into extremely fine filament shapes, solidify them in cooling baths, and then adjust drawing and winding speeds to produce fibers while maintaining consistent quality. Tasks include raw material blending, equipment startup and operation, parameter adjustment, quality inspection, troubleshooting during abnormalities, record management, and safety checks. They also perform regular inspections and maintenance of machinery, playing a role in safely and stably producing chemical products.
Future Outlook
The synthetic fiber market is stable, and with advancing automation and IoT in equipment, demand for technicians capable of handling advanced process control and quality management is increasing.
