Responsibilities and tasks of the production/mixing station operator:
Equipment operation:
- Processors: Imagine large industrial food processors that carefully combine ingredients
- Mixers: These come in various shapes, from large rotating drums to troughs with agitators, to ensure thorough mixing
- Reactors: These tight vessels host chemical reactions under specific conditions in terms of temperature and pressure
- Extruders: These machines push materials through a formed die, creating continuous products such as hoses or plastic pipes
Precision and quality control:
- Measuring and weighing: Using scales and other tools, operators ensure accurate quantities of ingredients to maintain consistent product quality
- Monitor and Adjust: Operators closely monitor meters and monitors, and adjust settings for the best mixing and production
- Sampling and testing: Through regular sampling, operators ensure that components and finished products meet quality standards
