Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical job that operates vacuum distillation equipment for nonferrous metals, separating and removing impurities to refine high-purity metals.
Description
Vacuum Distillation Workers (Nonferrous Metal Smelting) are specialists who use vacuum distillation equipment to heat and distill metals, separating and removing impurities through condensation to produce high-purity nonferrous metals. In the work process, distillation temperature and vacuum levels are precisely controlled, and quality tests on the products are conducted. They monitor, inspect, and maintain equipment operations, and when abnormalities occur, they quickly analyze causes and take countermeasures. While complying with plant safety standards and environmental regulations, they collaborate in teams to achieve efficient production. In recent years, automatic control systems and remote monitoring technologies have been introduced, advancing operational efficiency and quality management.
Future Outlook
With the push for higher purity nonferrous metals and rising recycling demand, there is a need for personnel skilled in process optimization and automation technologies. Adaptability to new technologies leveraging IoT and data analysis will become increasingly important.
