Summary
A manufacturing technical position that uniformizes fibers using carding machines and blending and drawing frames from raw cotton, shapes them into slivers, and supplies them to the spinning process.
Description
Blending spinners mix and clean raw cotton, then use carding machines to open the fibers, and blending and drawing frames (draw frames) to simultaneously draw multiple slivers, producing slivers with uniform thickness and strength. They operate and monitor machines, check fiber conditions, respond to troubles, conduct quality inspections, and stably supply raw materials suitable for the next yarn spinning process. Safety and hygiene management and equipment maintenance are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
While the textile industry is advancing in labor reduction and automation, demand for high-value-added fibers and functional materials remains, so the demand for blending spinners strong in quality control and equipment maintenance is expected to be maintained to a certain extent.
