Silicon Abrasive Manufacturing Worker

しりこんけんまざいせいぞうこう

Industry & Occupation

Engineering & Manufacturing

Classification

Summary

Silicon abrasive manufacturing workers produce abrasive products using silicon compounds as raw materials through processes such as crushing, firing, particle size adjustment, and bonding agent addition.

Description

Silicon abrasive manufacturing workers pulverize raw materials such as silicon carbide into fine powder using crushers, and perform crystallization and strength impartation in high-temperature firing furnaces. Subsequently, they adjust particle size using sieving or laser diffraction devices, mix with bonding agents as necessary, and form the material. After drying and hardening, they conduct final inspections to confirm quality, and perform packaging and shipping. Important tasks also include operation of manufacturing line machinery, periodic maintenance, safety and health management, and record keeping.

Future Outlook

Demand for high-quality abrasives will remain stable due to the expansion of the electronic components and semiconductor markets. Production efficiency is expected to improve with the introduction of IoT and automation technologies.
