Job Overview

Absolutely No Foreign Substances Allowed

I work in the Raw Materials Section, and my work is generally focused on making ceramic compounds that will be used to manufacture injection-molded items. The ratio of materials in the ceramic powder varies by what type of injection-molded items it will be used for. We have charts that show these ratios, or “recipes,” and we measure materials based on them. We then let the materials rest overnight so the moisture can evaporate, and the following day, we knead the mixture together and pelletize it. My team’s work involves the steps up to that point.
This work serves as the start of the injection molding process, and it’s crucial work that will serve as a base for what comes after. It’s vital to make sure that foreign substances don’t get mixed in. We wear full-body clean suits and hair nets at the work site, and go through an air shower on our way in. After we finish our work, we put just as much care and effort into making sure we clean up properly, too. Our work plays a major role in the quality of our clients’ products, so there’s no room to get sloppy if we want to maintain that trust.
