How do they match: Extruding and Forming Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Synthetic and Glass Fibers

  • Lower pans inside cabinets to catch molten filaments until flow of polymer through packs has stopped.
  • Observe flow of finish across finish rollers, and turn valves to adjust flow to specifications.
  • Press metering-pump buttons and turn valves to stop flow of polymers.
  • Start metering pumps and observe operation of machines and equipment to ensure continuous flow of filaments extruded through spinnerettes and to detect processing defects.
  • Turn petcocks to adjust the flow of binding fluid to sleeves.

  • Adjust equipment controls to regulate flow of production materials or products.
  • Adjust equipment controls to regulate flow of water, cleaning solutions, or other liquids.
