Classification
Summary
Specialized occupation manufacturing special fiber cloth coated with varnish. Performs the entire process continuously from weaving to coating, drying, inspection, and finishing.
Description
Varnish cloth manufacturing workers use looms to produce base fabric and handle the coating process where varnish (resin) is applied. They manage the entire flow from preparing raw materials, operating machines, mixing paints, firing in drying machines, product sampling inspections, foreign matter removal, to winding, cutting, and packaging. Stable operation of the production line and maintenance of quality are required, along with meticulous attention to detect minute defects and the ability to respond quickly to machine troubles. Shift work requires physical stamina, and with the introduction of the latest automation equipment and labor-saving technologies, maintenance, inspection, and improvement proposals for equipment are also part of the duties.
Future Outlook
The textile manufacturing industry is declining in domestic factories due to overseas production, but niche products like varnish cloth with special coatings have steady demand. As automation technology and labor-saving equipment are introduced, roles in equipment maintenance and quality control will continue to be needed.
