Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job involving manufacturing processes such as mixing, forming, drying, firing, and finishing of refractory bricks, performed by hand or using machines.
Description
Sleeve beating work involves mixing raw materials such as clay and aggregates, and using a forming machine to shape refractory bricks. After forming, moisture is removed using a drying furnace or natural drying, after which they are fired at high temperatures in a kiln. After firing, dimensions and appearance are inspected, and finishing is performed as necessary. The work includes handling heavy objects and working in high-temperature environments, requiring not only machine operation but also basic knowledge of quality control and equipment maintenance.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is anticipated in line with domestic manufacturing industry needs, but advancing mechanization and competition from overseas production pose challenges.
