Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Technical worker who applies sizing agent to warp yarns in the pre-weaving process to increase strength and prepare them in a state suitable for weaving.
Description
Thread sizing workers handle the process of applying starch paste or synthetic resin paste to warp yarns, the raw material for woven fabrics, to prevent breakage due to friction or tension during weaving. They mainly operate sizing equipment (size box and dryer), adjust the type and concentration of sizing solution, manage appropriate temperature and humidity, perform drying after sizing, and winding. If uneven sizing or yarn breakage occurs, they analyze the cause, adjust concentration or tension, perform machine maintenance, and maintain production efficiency and quality. In the factory, they collaborate with other weaving preparation processes and quality control staff to carry out the work.
Future Outlook
Although the number of workers is on a decreasing trend due to advances in automation and labor reduction, there will be sustained demand for personnel with skills in precise quality control and environmental adaptation.
