Summary
Specialist who applies dyeing processing to fiber products and then performs steam heating treatment to fix the dye.
Description
Steam heating workers (dyeing) operate steam heating equipment such as steamers after dyeing fabrics or fiber products, applying steam heating treatment at appropriate temperatures, pressure, and time to fix the dye to the fibers. The work involves setting products in the steam heating machine, configuring processing conditions, monitoring temperature and pressure during operation, and checking for abnormalities. After processing, they check for color unevenness and color fixing status, performing reprocessing or adjustments as necessary. They also handle equipment inspections and maintenance, safety and health management, and cleaning of the work environment. This is a process that significantly affects the quality of fiber products, requiring precise temperature control and adherence to procedures.
