Nonwoven Fabric Production Line Operator

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled and safety-conscious Production Line Operator to operate and maintain our nonwoven fabric manufacturing line. The operator will be responsible for running a complete integrated line from fiber opening through to the finished wound roll, ensuring consistent product quality and smooth machine performance.

Key Responsibilities

Machine Operation

• Operate the full nonwoven production line including: Bale Opener, Pre-Opener, Edge Trim Opener, Vibrating Feeder, Carding Machine, Cross Lapper, Needle Punching Machines, Cooling Machine, and Cross Winder & Cutter.
• Monitor and adjust process parameters (speed, frequency, GSM settings) via the touch screen control panel to meet product specifications.
• Perform startup checks on all machines including power supply verification, belt tension, drive chain condition, and safety cover fitment.
• Ensure smooth handover between shifts by recording and communicating all running data and machine status.

Quality Control

• Monitor fabric weight (GSM), web uniformity, and surface quality throughout production.
• Detect and respond to irregularities such as fiber tangles, belt misalignment, abnormal noise or vibration.
• Adjust carding machine speeds, cross lapper layering, and needle punching parameters to maintain consistent output.

Preventive Maintenance

• Perform daily and periodic lubrication of drive chains, bearings, rollers, and gear reducers.
• Clean machines at the end of every shift and inspect fastening bolts, photo-electric sensors, and conveying lattices.
• Report and document any faults, abnormal wear, or machine issues immediately.

Safety

• Follow all safety protocols — never touch moving rollers or remove safety guards during operation.
• Use Emergency Stop buttons promptly in case of any incident.
• Hang warning signs and isolate power before performing any maintenance.
• Keep the work area clean and free of fiber accumulation around moving parts.

Requirements

• Prior experience operating industrial textile or nonwoven production machinery is preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret machine parameters and touchscreen control interfaces.
• Basic mechanical aptitude — able to identify abnormal sounds, vibrations, or wear.
• Understanding of lubrication schedules and preventive maintenance routines.
• Physically capable of working in a manufacturing environment (standing, lifting fiber bales).
• Attention to detail and commitment to product quality and workplace safety.
• Ability to work rotating shifts.

Nice to Have

• Experience with carding machines, needle looms, or thermal bonding lines.
• Familiarity with nonwoven fabric types and GSM specifications.
• Basic electrical knowledge (checking power supply, wiring connections).

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• On-the-job training provided.
• Safe and organized production environment.
