Classification
Summary
In the raw silk manufacturing process, this job involves inspecting and evaluating the quality of raw silk obtained during the silk reeling (winding raw silk) process, and sorting out products that do not meet the standards.
Description
Silk reeling inspectors constantly observe the condition of raw silk supplied from reeling machines on the raw silk production line, conducting inspections for fineness, strength, twist, surface scratches, and mixed foreign threads. They promptly sort and record defective products, collaborate with process personnel to analyze causes, ensure raw silk meets quality standards, and maintain product uniformity and reliability. Inspections may involve visual checks as well as simple measuring instruments or microscopes, requiring knowledge of weaving machines and raw silk characteristics.
Future Outlook
Domestic demand for raw silk is on a declining trend, and with the advancement of automation technology, traditional manual inspection is likely to shrink.
