Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves operating doubler machines in spinning factories to combine multiple slivers and produce roving of uniform thickness and quality.
Description
Spinning doubler operators feed slivers (elongated fiber bundles) prepared in the carding process into doubler machines and perform the task of overlapping several slivers to achieve uniform thickness. They monitor machine operation status, handle feeding and doffing tasks, conduct quality inspections, respond to machine troubles, and perform daily inspections and cleaning. They manage operating rates based on production plans and, if quality abnormalities occur, adjust machine settings or perform maintenance. As proficiency increases, they contribute to stabilizing the quality of the entire manufacturing line through process improvements and efficiency proposals. The work environment requires measures against factory noise and dust, as well as safety and health management.
Future Outlook
Due to the contraction of the domestic spinning industry and advances in automation, the number of workers is declining, but demand for skilled technicians remains expected for high-quality products and special fibers.
