Presses switches and turns water valve to start machine that spreads cottage cheese into even layer, sprays cheese with refrigerated water to cool and rinse it, and squeezes cheese dry under pressure belt. Feels dried cheese to determine if specified amount of water is removed, and adjusts pressure belt, as required, using wrenches. Starts pump and turns valve to control flow of cream from refrigerated tank to auger that blends cream with cottage cheese.

| Tends machines that mix textile fibers into uniform blends: Sets sliding counterbalances into position on scale beams of automatic feeders to regulate weight of fiber deposited on conveyor, following lot sheet instructions. Opens chute to feed fibers into machine or deposits armfuls of various types of fiber into hoppers of appropriate feeders, according to blending instructions. Starts machines and observes flow of fiber through mixing picker machines to detect clogged rollers. Stops machines and unclogs rollers by hand. Cleans machines after each lot, using airhose. May mix oil lubricant. May turn valve to regulate flow of oil lubricant onto fiber, according to type of fibers being blended. May tend machines that mix colored wool fibers and be designated Gray Mixing Operator (tex. prod., nec); White Mixing Operator (tex. prod., nec). (references) | |
| Tends machine that cleans, straightens, and blends brush-filling materials, such as horsehair, nylon, vegetable fibers, and plastic filaments: Loosens wing-nuts and adjusts conveyor guides to accommodate length of materials to be processed. Removes materials from container according to predetermined sequence and places them on machine conveyor with flag (split) ends together. Moves lever to set specified speed of machine cycle. Starts machine and observes material until blending conforms with prescribed standards. Removes and packs or wraps blended material. Cleans machine, using airhose. May apply antistatic lubricant to material, using brush. (references) | |
