Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Synthetic fiber staple spinning workers process chemical raw materials such as synthetic resins into fibers using spinning machines, manufacturing and performing quality control on yarns and staple fibers in production sites.
Description
Synthetic fiber staple spinning workers melt or dissolve synthetic resins such as polyester and nylon, then manufacture yarns and staple fibers through processes such as spinning, drawing, warping, and winding. They handle tasks from starting up spinning machines, adjusting operating conditions, supplying raw materials, product inspections, machine cleaning and maintenance inspections, to safety and health management. When quality issues occur, they investigate causes and implement countermeasures to balance production efficiency and product quality. They work in shift rotations, operate automated machines and line control systems, and are required to improve skills and adapt to environmentally friendly fibers.
Future Outlook
While production efficiency improves with advancing automation and smart factories, labor shortages due to aging population and declining birthrates become severe. Demand for high-functionality and environmentally friendly fibers expands, requiring highly specialized technicians.
