Occupations | Tends gas-heated continuous drier that dries wood chips to prescribed moisture content for use in particleboard manufacturing: Turns valve and thermostat and presses buttons to ignite gas, set drier temperature, and activate drier, conveyors, and blower fans. Moves controls to synchronize speed of conveyors and blower fans to ensure continuous flow of wood chips from storage hopper through drier and into dry-storage bin. Observes gauges and collects, weighs, and tests sample of dried chips, using scales and electronic moisture tester, to ascertain moisture content of chips. Resets controls to maintain prescribed temperature and humidity, according to test and gauge readings. Records test results in log. (references) |
| Tends $T3tenter frame$T1 that stretches cloth in width, removes wrinkles, and dries cloth after processes, such as dyeing or finishing: Trucks folded cloth to feed-end of machine or mounts roll of cloth at scray, using hoist. Sews cloth end to leader in machine, using sewing machine. Turns wheel to adjust clips or pins to stretch cloth to specified width. Moves lever to control speed of cloth through drying cabinet, to $T3swing-folding attachment.$T1 Measures width of cloth emerging from machine, using yardstick. Records yardage clock readings. May replace full trucks with empty ones and ravel seams to separate truck loads of cloth. May tend tenter frame equipped with weft-straightening attachment. (references) | |
| Tends machines that dehydrate nuts: Starts heater and sets thermostat to control air temperature. Starts blower system that forces warm air through nuts to dry them, improve storage qualities, and prepare them for further processing. Starts conveyor to move nuts into machine for dehydration. Tests dryness of nuts by feeling or by using moisture indicator. Attaches sack to discharge end of machine to catch dried nuts, or starts conveyor system that transfers dried nuts to storage bin. May sew sack, using needle and twine. May be designated according to kind of nut dehydrated as Walnut-Dehydrator Operator (can. & preserv.). (references) | |
| Tends drying equipment to reduce moisture content of cooked grain to specified degree of dehydration for cereal products: Adjusts steam valves to regulate temperature and pressure of drier to specified levels. Turns valve or adjusts gate on conveyor to regulate amount of cereal entering drier. Turns handcrank to adjust speed of conveyor through drier. Visually and tactually inspects dried grain and collects samples throughout drying process to determine moisture content of grain. May turn valve and push button to start granulators and picker rolls that break lumps in cooked grain prior to or after drying. (references) | |
| Tends $T3drying cans$T1 that dry cloth following processes, such as washing, desizing, or finishing: Positions truck of folded cloth at feed-end of machine. Pins cloth end to preceding bolt or sews ends together with sewing machine. Turns valve to admit steam into revolving cans that dry fabric as fabric is drawn around and between cans. Moves lever to regulate speed of revolving cans to adjust drying time according to cloth thickness. Turns wheel to change cloth tension according to type or style of fabric. (references) | |
| Tends oil-fired, rotary, magnetic drier that removes oil and iron from aluminum-scrap turnings: Ignites burner, and adjusts mixture of oil and air to obtain desired temperature. Starts drier, and turns on current to remove iron magnetically. Signals workers to load scrap into drier, and regulates rate of feed in accordance with oil content of scrap. Places wheelbarrow at discharge end of drier to receive processed turnings. Weighs filled wheelbarrow, records weight, and dumps load onto pile. (references) | |
| Tends drying equipment that removes moisture from fuel briquettes to harden them after shaping: Turns steam valves and observes gauges to regulate temperature and humidity in drying chamber. Presses button to start hot-air blowers to dehydrate briquettes. Turns handwheel to control speed and amount of material passing through drying chamber. Examines and feels samples to determine if briquettes meet hardness standards. Observes dial on moisture-checking machine to verify dryness. (references) | |
| Tends machine that stretches and dries knitted material: Inserts spreader of specified width into material. Pulls end of material through drying chamber equipped with fans and inserts material between feed rolls of machine. Starts fans which circulate heat and rolls which pull wet material over spreader and through chamber to stretch and dry knitted material. (references) | |
| Tends equipment in steam-heated drying room that dries and hardens bar soap: Pushes racks of soap into and out of room according to prescribed schedule. Turns and adjusts steam valves to heat and maintain room at specified temperature. Starts electric dolly that moves soap racks through drying chamber. Records number of racks processed.
