Ramie Boiling Worker
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker who degreases and cleans ramie fibers through heat treatments such as boiling and steaming, preparing them for the next process.
Description
The ramie boiling worker is a specialist who uses kettles or steaming machines to boil and steam ramie fibers or ramie-blended yarns, removing wax, fats, and impurities. They maintain specified quality through chemical mixing, boiler operation, and management of temperature and pH. The work is performed in high-temperature, high-humidity environments, requiring raw material loading and unloading, kettle inspections, equipment maintenance, and safety measures (slinging, crane operation, fume countermeasures). After processing, they coordinate with subsequent processes such as spinning and dyeing to support a stable production line.
Future Outlook
With the progress of automation and high value-added development in the textile industry, demand for traditional processes is declining, but demand for specialized technicians in special fibers and environmentally responsive materials is expected.
