Summary
Equipment operator who feeds raw materials such as cotton flowers and chemical fibers into spinning machines to produce raw yarn.
Description
Spinning equipment operators operate spinning equipment such as carding machines, combing machines, and spinning machines to produce raw yarn using cotton or chemical fibers as raw materials. They handle machine startup and operation adjustments, raw material feeding, periodic patrol inspections, quality inspections via visual checks or dimensional measurements, yarn winding, and equipment shutdown, cleaning, and maintenance. They also make fine adjustments to improve production efficiency and reduce defect rates, respond to troubles, and ensure safety and hygiene management.
Future Outlook
While the domestic spinning industry is on a shrinking trend, demand for automation technology and high-value-added fiber products ensures stable demand for personnel skilled in both machine operation and maintenance. Adaptability to environmentally friendly fibers and new technologies will be increasingly required in the future.
