Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Powdered Milk Blenders measure and mix powdered milk, the raw material for powdered milk, in the prescribed ratio, and supply products to the production line while managing quality and hygiene.
Description
Powdered Milk Blenders are responsible for the blending operations in the production of powdered milk (powdered formula). They weigh raw materials according to recipes, load them into mixers, and stir. After stirring, they perform quality inspections for moisture content, particle size, etc., to confirm that the product meets specifications. Production lines are typically batch-based, requiring accurate weighing techniques and equipment operation. They also handle essential tasks such as recording production logs, quality checks via sampling, and hygiene management to prevent foreign matter contamination. Additionally, they perform equipment cleaning using SIP/CIP, daily inspections, initial responses to troubles, and collaborate with the quality assurance department to support stable production.
Future Outlook
Domestic demand for infant formula powdered milk is stable, but the market may gradually shrink due to declining birthrates and increasing alternative products. On the other hand, with the expansion of health-oriented and functional foods, the value of personnel with specialized blending techniques and skills in operating and managing automated equipment is expected to increase.
