Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Powdered milk manufacturing equipment operators handle equipment operation, operation monitoring, and quality control on the powdered milk (milk powder) production line.
Description
Powdered milk manufacturing equipment operators receive raw milk, perform heat sterilization and homogenization, and produce powdered milk using concentration and spray drying equipment. They handle everything from production line startup to operation monitoring, temperature and pressure adjustments, and packaging processes, while also conducting quality inspections and hygiene management. Regular machine cleaning and washing (SIP/CIP), inspections, and initial responses to troubles are important tasks. They comply with quality and safety standards such as GMP/HACCP, create production records, and make reports. Shift work is common, and the job requires physical stamina for long hours of standing work in the factory and raw material handling.
Future Outlook
With the introduction of automation and remote monitoring technologies utilizing IoT and AI, equipment operations will become more advanced and require fewer personnel. Domestic and international demand for powdered milk is expected to remain stable, and there will be continued demand for operators with expertise in quality control and machine maintenance due to production increases associated with export expansion.
