Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing worker who uses coal-derived tar as raw material, processes it through heating, stirring, forming, and drying stages to create blocks, and supplies them as industrial fuel or materials.
Description
Tar block manufacturing workers use tar obtained from the coal coke production process as raw material. They heat and knead it, form it using an extrusion molding machine, and dry and harden it to produce block-shaped products. Main tasks include raw material feeding, mixing and heating control, molding machine operation, drying plant monitoring, product dimension and appearance inspection, and safety and environmental management. Since the production line involves large machinery and high-temperature equipment, they also perform equipment checks, daily maintenance, and quality data recording. Work is often shift-based, centered on handling heavy raw materials and standing tasks.
Future Outlook
Due to environmental regulations and changes in energy structure, demand is gradually declining, but niche demand for special carbon products and refractory materials is expected to continue.
