Summary
Textile Product Finishers perform dyeing, finishing processes, inspection, and packaging on fabrics produced by weaving or knitting, ensuring the quality and appearance of the products.
Description
Textile Product Finishers apply various finishing treatments such as bleaching, dyeing, anti-shrink processing, raising, calendering, etc., to raw fabrics. They operate and set up machines, adjust chemical solutions, manage temperature and time, and investigate causes and adjust processes when defects occur. After completion, they conduct appearance inspections, sort non-standard products, package and crate them, and prepare for shipment. Factory work typically involves standing and shift schedules.
