Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker responsible for mixing raw materials for refractory bricks, molding, and up to the drying process.
Description
Refractory Brick Molders are responsible for mixing raw materials for refractory bricks and placing them into molds for shaping. After molding, they handle drying processes and initial pre-firing inspections to confirm that dimensions and quality meet standards. Physical strength is required due to handling heavy objects, and work is divided among teams to manage process efficiency and quality control. While manufacturing lines are advancing in automation and mechanization, skilled molding techniques remain highly valued on-site.
Future Outlook
Steady demand will continue due to domestic infrastructure development and needs from high-temperature industries, but adaptation to labor-saving technologies will be required due to advancing automation.
