Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that uses chemicals and machinery to perform scouring processes such as degreasing and bleaching on fiber raw materials or yarn, preparing them for a suitable state for dyeing or weaving.
Description
Scouring silk reeling workers are responsible for the pre-processing stage of fiber raw materials or yarn, performing scouring processes such as degreasing to remove oils and impurities, bleaching, and enzyme treatment. They add chemicals to processing tanks, control temperature and time, and operate machinery to achieve uniform quality. They also inspect, package, and hand over the processed yarn to the next process, monitor line operation status based on production plans, handle troubles, perform machine maintenance, manage safety and health when handling chemicals, manage waste liquid treatment, and make improvement proposals for quality enhancement.
Future Outlook
Although Japan's textile industry is shrinking, stable demand is expected in high-function materials and special fiber fields, and the demand for scouring process technicians is expected to be maintained to a certain extent. Knowledge of low-environmental-impact technologies increases market value.
