Pours specified quantity of syrup over whirling candy or other product, and passes hands through batch to spread syrup uniformly. Turns steam valve and observes thermometer to regulate pan temperature, according to changes in atmospheric conditions, or when hard coatings have been specified. Examines and feels product to determine adequacy of coating, and applies successive charges of syrup until specified coating thickness is attained. Adds flavoring and coloring ingredients in final coating, as specified. May mix together and apply emulsified or dry ingredients, such as gum solution, cornstarch, and powdered sugar to product. May transfer contents to polishing pans and add specified ingredients to polish coating. May set temperature controls and start blower to dry syrup. May be designated according to product coated or polished as Almond-Pan Finisher (sugar & conf.); Chocolate-Peanut Coating-Machine Operator (sugar & conf.); Gum Coater (sugar & conf.). (references) |
| Operates machine to glaze or impregnate paper with size or coating mixtures: Adjusts spreader rollers and aligns or fastens brushes or scraper blade in machine, using handtools, to spread coating to specified depth on paper. Loads paper roll on machine feedrack, using hoist, and threads paper through spreader, pressure, and drying rolls. Turns valve to admit specified coating mixture into machine tank. Starts machine and observes paper to detect wrinkles, breaks, and uneven coating. Turns handwheels or levers to adjust tension of paper and pressure of rollers. May measure depth of coating, using micrometer. May be designated according to coating material used as Clay-Coating-Machine Tender (paper & pulp; paper goods); Varnisher-Plasticoater (fabrication, nec). May coat printed wallpaper with plastic solution to waterproof it and be designated Waterproof-Coating-Machine Tender (paper goods). (references) | |
| Sets up and controls automatic hot-dip lines to plate steel sheets with protective coating of metal, such as tin or terne: Reads production schedule to determine setup of lines. Turns screwdown mechanism to set distance between coating brushes and rolls, using handtools. Measures and sets stops and guides on automatic feeder and conveying equipment according to dimensions of product to be coated, using rule and wrenches. Turns controls to set temperatures of coating metal and palm-oil pots. Starts conveyor line and moves controls to synchronize speed of line with speed of coating machine that conveys sheets into molten tin covered with palm oil to cause even distribution of tin. Inspects coated product for defects and changes setup to coat sheets to specifications. May be designated according to type of coating as Tinner, Automatic (galvanizing). (references) | |
| Operates machine to coat rolls of woven fiber rugs or felt padding with vinyl or other coatings to prolong life of fiber and retard soiling: Dumps specified amounts of coating ingredients into vat and starts mixer. Turns valve to transfer coating to machine reservoir. Observes thermometers and adjusts electrical controls to maintain specified temperatures in bath and drying compartments. Threads fiber rug material through machine or sews end of new roll to end of preceding roll in machine. Pushes switch to start machine that moves material through coating bath and drying compartments onto rewind roller. Cleans machine and equipment, using water, solvents, brushes, scrapers, and chisel. Prepares production report on rugs coated. May operate machine equipped with automatic sprays to coat rugs or padding. (references) | |
| Tends machines that coat continuous rolls of wire, strips, or sheets with wax, paint, rubber, asphalt, or other coating material: Places roll of material onto feed spindle of machine. Threads end through feed and guide rolls into dipping vat or onto transfer roll and through drying oven and attaches it to rewind spindle. Fills boxes or vats with coating solution, such as asphalt or liquid rubber. May sew, crimp, or staple ends of material to form continuous roll. May be designated according to impregnating material used as Enamel-Machine Operator (elec. equip.); Varnishing-Machine Operator (elec. equip.); Waxing-Machine Operator (elec. equip.).

| Tends machine that coats asphalt-impregnated felt paper with paint to seal in asphalt and prevent discoloration of light-colored enamels used for finishing: Mounts roll of paper on machine spindle and feeds end of roll through machine or splices end to roll in machine. Fills hoppers with paint. Starts machine that coats paper with paint and observes operation and rewinding of paper in $T3festoon$T1 ovens for drying. Adjusts oven controls to maintain specified temperature for drying coated paper. Removes paper rewound on rolls from oven when dried. (references) | |
| Tends machines that apply lacquer, paint, or stain to pencils: Pours coating fluid into reservoir of machine. Places pencils on feed conveyor or in hopper of machine. Starts machine that presses pencils through openings in sides of reservoir to coat them with fluid. Places coated pencils on conveyor that carries them through heated drying unit and drops them into container. Removes coated pencils from container and examines them for evenness of coating. May tend pair of machines that apply successive coats of paint or lacquer to pencils. (references) | |
