Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Chemical fiber manufacturing equipment operators work on synthetic fiber production lines, performing tasks such as operating and monitoring equipment, feeding raw materials, managing product quality, and handling safety management.
Description
Chemical fiber manufacturing equipment operators, on synthetic fiber production lines such as polyester and nylon, operate and monitor various production equipment including polymerization devices, spinning machines, drawing machines, and winding machines, and adjust process parameters such as raw material feeding, temperature, and pressure. They perform product sampling and quality inspections for strength and thickness, and record data. In the event of equipment trouble, they provide initial response or report to the maintenance department, and proceed with work while complying with safety and hygiene standards. They also handle maintenance tasks such as regular inspections, cleaning, and replacement of consumable parts. They contribute to improving production efficiency through team shift work and improvement proposals.
Future Outlook
Although domestic demand for synthetic fibers is stable, with the advancement of production efficiency improvements and automation technologies in Japan, the demand for highly skilled operators capable of addressing labor shortages and handling equipment operation and maintenance is expected to increase.
