Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
In carbon rod manufacturing, this occupation involves measuring, compounding, and stirring raw materials to supply homogeneous mixtures to the production line.
Description
Raw material mixers are responsible for measuring and compounding coke, tar, binder, water, etc., which are raw materials for carbon rods, at specified mixing ratios, and mixing and kneading them using a stirring machine. They manage the viscosity and moisture content of the mixture to ensure uniformity and supply stable raw materials to the production line. Operation, cleaning, and inspection of machinery, safety and health management, and adherence to work procedures are required.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor-saving in manufacturing processes are advancing, the demand for high-quality carbon materials remains stable, and those with experience in skill inheritance and advanced quality control will continue to be in demand.
