Hard Skills
IntermediateMulti-roll Calender OperationOperating heavy-duty machines with multiple heated rolls to press rubber compounds into thin sheets or apply them to textiles.
IntermediatePrecision Gauging and MeasurementUsing micrometers, laser gauges, or ultrasonic sensors to monitor and adjust the thickness and width of rubber sheets.
AdvancedThermal RegulationMonitoring and adjusting roll temperatures using steam or water systems to maintain rubber viscosity and prevent scorching.
AdvancedSafety Protocol AdherenceStrictly following Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and emergency stop protocols when working around rotating machinery.
BasicRaw Material FeedingLoading rubber stock into the calender feed nip at a consistent rate to ensure continuous production without air entrapment.
