Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that processes raw materials such as synthetic resins into chemical fibers using spinning machines into threads, followed by cooling, drawing, and winding.
Description
Synthetic fiber spinning workers heat and melt synthetic fiber raw materials such as polyester and nylon, or dissolve them into a solution, supply them to the spinning machine, and draw them out into thin threads. The drawn fibers are then cooled, drawn to adjust strength and elongation, and wound up to the specified length and number of windings. They control temperature, viscosity, speed, and tension during the process, monitor the line while performing quality inspections. They also handle machine cleaning, maintenance, and troubleshooting. A three-shift system is common in manufacturing lines, and factory safety management and quality control are important.
Future Outlook
While demand for chemical fibers remains stable, the number of operators may gradually decrease due to advances in automation and labor reduction.
