Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job in a wool yarn spinning factory that performs carbonization processing using acid treatment and heating to remove impurities from raw materials and produce standard products for the next process.
Description
The carbonization worker is responsible for chemical processing in the wool yarn spinning process to remove vegetable matter and other impurities contained in raw wool. Pre-treatment is performed using chemicals such as sulfuric acid in acid treatment tanks, followed by high-temperature heating in a carbonization furnace to incinerate impurities. Post-processing such as neutralization, washing, and drying is then carried out, followed by quality inspection before sending to the next process. Operation and inspection of machinery, management of chemical concentrations, temperatures, and processing times, and adherence to safety and hygiene are important, and shift work may include night shifts.
Future Outlook
The domestic spinning industry is shrinking due to overseas relocation and automation, but there may remain demand for carbonization processing for high-functional fibers and special applications.
