Summary
In the tire production process, a manufacturing job responsible for the vulcanization process where green tires after molding are heated and pressurized using a vulcanizing press machine to harden the rubber.
Description
Tire vulcanizing workers load green tires obtained from the tire molding process into a vulcanizing press machine and perform heating and vulcanization at specified temperatures and pressures. The work involves monitoring conditions using thermometers and pressure gauges, removing the product after the specified time, and conducting inspections for dimensions and appearance. They also sort defective products and perform simple maintenance checks on machines. As line work, they cooperate as a team to improve production efficiency and maintain quality. Since the work environment involves high temperatures, attention to safety management and energy conservation is required.
