Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Vinyl wire extrusion workers extrude insulating materials such as vinyl (PVC) onto metal conductors to manufacture electric wires and cables.
Description
Vinyl wire extrusion workers operate extrusion molding machines that coat metal conductors (such as copper wire) with insulating materials like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene. They are responsible for feeding raw materials, temperature control, machine adjustments, and inspecting the appearance and dimensions of products, ensuring stable line operation and quality maintenance. When abnormalities occur, they clean the machine, adjust or replace molds, and reduce defect rates. Regular maintenance and safety measures for handling hazardous materials (high temperature and high pressure) are also important.
Future Outlook
Demand for electric wires and cables remains stable, and as production efficiency improves through automation and IoT integration, skills in machine monitoring and maintenance will become increasingly important.
