Hello, We are hiring for Production Officer/Sr. Production Officer who has experience in Kneader Operations. Please find below details - Key Responsibilities: Operation of Batch Kneader: Set up and operate batch kneaders to mix polymers with various additives, fillers, and colorants. Monitor and control the kneading process, ensuring the mixture's consistency and quality. Adjust machine settings such as temperature, speed, and time to achieve optimal compound properties. Material Preparation: Accurately weigh and measure raw materials, including resins, stabilizers, plasticizers, and other additives. Ensure proper storage and handling of raw materials to avoid contamination or degradation. Monitoring and Control: Continuously monitor the batch compounding process to ensure proper viscosity, color, and texture of the mixture. Check for signs of machine malfunction or inconsistency in the compound, troubleshooting and resolving issues when necessary. Quality Control: Conduct tests on the compounded materials (e.g., viscosity, flow, tensile strength) to ensure they meet required specifications. Record and report batch data, including material usage, process parameters, and quality control results. Work closely with quality control teams to address any quality issues and maintain consistency across batches. Maintenance and Housekeeping: Perform routine maintenance on kneading machines, including cleaning, lubricating, and replacing parts as needed. Ensure a clean and safe work environment by following hygiene and safety protocols. Safety Compliance: Follow all safety procedures to prevent accidents or injuries during the compounding process. Ensure that safety equipment (e.g., gloves, goggles, protective clothing) is worn at all times. Adhere to environmental regulations regarding the disposal of waste materials. Collaboration: Work with other production staff to ensure smooth workflow and efficient use of resources. Communicate with supervisors or engineers regarding equipment status, material shortages, or production delays. Required Skills and Qualifications: Experience : At least 2-5 years of experience in a batch kneader or similar role in polymer compounding , ideally in the cable manufacturing or related industry. Technical Knowledge : Understanding of polymer science, compounding techniques, and the characteristics of materials used in cable production.
