Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Refractory brick firing workers operate kilns and manage temperatures to manufacture refractory bricks, and handle forming, drying, and firing processes as manufacturing technicians.
Description
Refractory brick firing workers manufacture refractory bricks used in high-temperature process industries such as steel, glass, and cement. They mix and knead raw materials, form and dry them, load into kilns for firing, and strictly manage temperature and time. They also perform quality inspections after firing, sort defective products, maintain equipment, and manage safety and health. Much of the work is in high-temperature environments, requiring technology and experience to understand furnace operating conditions and maintain stable production.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected in industries requiring high-temperature processes such as steel and cement, but the demand for skilled workers may become somewhat limited due to advances in equipment automation and labor reduction.
