Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Research and Technical Occupations
- Middle : Manufacturing Engineers
- Minor : Chemical Product Manufacturing Engineers
Summary
A technical job that operates and manages processes from raw material blending to polymerization, spinning, processing, and quality inspection to manufacture synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon.
Description
Synthetic fiber manufacturing engineers handle a series of manufacturing processes from monomer preparation and polymerization to spinning, drawing, crimping and other processing, dyeing, and finishing. They control reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, catalyst composition) and machine parameters (rotation speed, tension), and operate and monitor plant equipment using DCS or PLC. They verify quality through tensile strength tests and elongation measurements in the laboratory, and perform troubleshooting in case of abnormalities. While complying with safety and health regulations and environmental standards, they also contribute to improving line uptime and reducing costs.
Future Outlook
Although the domestic textile industry faces challenges with cost competitiveness, demand for specialized technicians remains stable due to increasing demand for high-functionality and high-value-added materials. There is a trend toward valuing personnel with environmental regulation compliance and recycling technology.
