IntermediateTextile Quality InspectionMonitoring the fleecing process to ensure uniform pile height and identifying defects such as uneven napping, holes, or fabric distortion.
Entry-levelMachine Maintenance and CleaningPerforming routine cleaning of rollers and wire brushes to prevent fiber buildup and ensuring the machine is lubricated and mechanically sound.
IntermediateKnowledge of Fiber PropertiesUnderstanding how different materials like wool, polyester, or cotton react to the napping process to adjust machine tension and speed accordingly.
IntermediateTension Control CalibrationAdjusting the tension settings on a fleecing machine to maintain consistent fabric feed and prevent stretching or tearing during the raising process.
