Summary
Paper material winders operate machines that wind paper raw materials into rolls in paper mills, and are responsible for tension adjustment, quality control, and daily inspections as manufacturing staff.
Description
Paper material winders are manufacturing workers in paper mills who use winders to wind pulp or paper raw materials into rolls. Operators set the paper material on the winder, adjust tension and speed, and check roll diameters while monitoring the machine and performing daily inspections, cleaning, and simple maintenance. They also manage quality through appearance inspections and dimensional measurements, and investigate and address causes of abnormalities as needed. Teamwork and safety and health management are also important duties.
Future Outlook
Although the domestic paper industry is shrinking, labor-saving and automation technologies are being introduced. Personnel with skills to handle automation in the winding process and automated quality inspections will continue to be needed.
