Description
Roving machine operators feed raw cotton into roving machines, roughly spin the raw material to produce thick rovings. They monitor machine settings and operating conditions, and inspect the thickness and uniformity of products visually or with measuring instruments. They remove defects such as yarn tangles or foreign matter inclusion, perform machine cleaning and simple maintenance, and make adjustments to prevent production line interruptions. The environment involves some noise and dust, so dust masks and protective gear are worn, with attention to safety and hygiene.
