Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing job that organizes yarn, improves strength by sizing, and prepares it for the loom.
Description
Warping sizing workers are specialists in the fabric production process who align warp yarns (warp threads) and apply sizing (size processing). They prepare the sizing agent, apply it uniformly to the warp yarns, then dry and finish before winding onto beams. This prevents friction and breakage in the loom, ensuring production efficiency and quality. They combine machine operations with manual work, and handle machine inspections/adjustments and sizing agent management.
Future Outlook
Although the workload is decreasing due to automation and production rationalization in the textile industry, demand for skilled technicians responsible for quality control in sizing processing is expected to remain.
