Hard Skills
IntermediateRubber Extrusion Machine OperationThe ability to set up, monitor, and adjust extrusion machinery to produce rubber components for traction belts according to specific profiles.
IntermediateBelt Ply AssemblyThe process of layering rubber sheets, fabric reinforcements, and steel or synthetic cords onto building drums to create a belt carcass.
IntermediateTechnical Blueprint ReadingInterpreting engineering drawings and work orders to determine belt dimensions, material sequences, and tension requirements.
IntermediatePrecision Measurement and GaugingUsing micrometers, calipers, and ultrasonic thickness gauges to verify that belt components meet tolerance levels.
BasicLock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) ComplianceStrict adherence to safety procedures that ensure dangerous machines are properly shut off and not started up again prior to maintenance.
BasicRubber Compound KnowledgeUnderstanding the properties of different rubber types (e.g., SBR, EPDM) and how heat and pressure affect their bonding during build-up.
IntermediateProduction TroubleshootingIdentifying and correcting minor mechanical issues or material misalignments during the belt building process.
