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

  • Fiberglass Dowel Drawing Operator

  • Set up, operate, or tend machines that extrude and form continuous filaments from synthetic materials, such as liquid polymer, rayon, and fiberglass.

  • Notify other workers of defects, and direct them to adjust extruding and forming machines.
  • Pass sliver strands through openings in floors to workers on floors below who wind slivers onto tubes.
  • Pull extruded fiberglass filaments over sleeves where binding solution is applied, and into grooves of graphite shoes that bind filaments into single strands of sliver.
  • Set up, operate, or tend machines that extrude and form filaments from synthetic materials such as rayon, fiberglass, or liquid polymers.

  • Move products, materials, or equipment between work areas.
  • Signal others to coordinate work activities.
