Classification
Summary
Trout canning workers handle the entire manufacturing process from washing and pre-processing raw trout, filling, sealing, sterilization, inspection, and packaging, through both machine operation and quality control.
Description
Trout canning workers receive raw trout, perform washing and sorting, then pre-processing (cutting, deboning, etc.), and filling into cans. After filling, they seal the lids, conduct high-pressure steam sterilization to ensure safety. Subsequently, they inspect for foreign matter contamination or sealing defects in the cooling and inspection lines, and pack and prepare for shipment products that meet standards. Important tasks also include operating production line machinery, periodic equipment checks, cleaning, and hygiene management, strictly adhering to hygiene standards and temperature control from a quality management perspective. Shift work is often required, demanding physical stamina and attention.
Future Outlook
Labor shortages due to declining birthrates and aging population are a challenge, but demand for food safety and quality remains high, ensuring stable demand for manufacturing management technicians. In the future, automation and labor-saving technologies will advance, requiring skill shifts toward machine maintenance and quality assurance.
