Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Technical job involving the manufacturing of hard fiber products (vulcanized fiber) impregnated with rubber.
Description
Vulcanized fiber manufacturing workers impregnate raw fibers such as cellulose fibers with rubber, and manufacture hard fiber products through processes including drying, heating, and pressurization. Specifically, they operate and manage manufacturing equipment such as impregnation devices, heating furnaces, and press machines, adjusting process parameters like temperature, pressure, and heating time. They also perform product quality inspections and dimensional checks, thoroughly managing quality to ensure products meet standards for shipment. Furthermore, they handle machine maintenance and inspections, as well as safety and health management in the work environment. Vulcanized fiber is used in various industrial applications such as electrical insulating parts, gaskets, and packings, requiring stable manufacturing technology due to demands for heat resistance and chemical resistance.
Future Outlook
Operator demand is on a decreasing trend due to advances in automation and labor reduction. However, vulcanized fiber as a high-performance material has steady demand in industrial applications.
