Description
Water washing drying machine operators set up and operate water washing drying machines in the scouring process of spinning or weaving factories to wash and dry fabrics. They handle machine startup, parameter adjustments, monitoring during processing, quality inspections, cleaning, and maintenance checks. Work procedures are standardized in manuals, but the ability to identify issues and make adjustments during abnormalities is required. Compliance with safety and health regulations and record management are also essential.

Demand for machine operations in Japan's domestic textile manufacturing industry is gradually declining due to the overseas relocation of production bases and the advancement of automation.
