Occupations | Tends centrifugal extractor that removes surplus moisture or dye from materials, such as wet cloth, garments, knit goods, linens, raw fibers, or yarn: Pushes loaded handtrucks or portable extractor baskets into position at machine or under hoist. Lifts material from handtruck, or raises baskets, using chain or electric hoist to load extractor. Distributes material uniformly in extractor baskets to balance load and reduce vibration. Observes tilt of portable baskets to verify balance when using hoist. Closes cover and starts machine. Unloads materials into handtruck for transfer to subsequent work station. May unload washing machines. May work with raw cotton and be designated Extractor Tender, Raw Stock (textile). May tend drying machine [TUMBLER OPERATOR (laundry & rel.) 369.685-034]. May tend machine that extracts moisture from cakes of rayon or other synthetic yarn and be designated Cake Wringer (plastic-synth.). (references) |
| Tends vacuum extractor that removes excess moisture from washed, bleached, or dyed cloth by either of following methods: (1) Mounts roll of cloth onto brackets at back of machine. Pins cloth to leader to pass cloth over suction tube and between rollers. Starts vacuum pump and opens drain valve. Regulates roller speed according to thickness of cloth. Places empty truck under $T3swing-folding attachment$T1 to receive processed cloth and doffs full truck. (2) Mounts roll of cloth, wound on perforated beam, on machine, using hoist. Connects one end of beam to suction tube and turns handwheel to place cap over other end to create vacuum chamber within beam. Starts vacuum pump and opens drain valve to extract moisture. Transfers roll to takeoff brackets, using hoist. Threads end of cloth over rollers and through swing-folding attachment, and straightens cloth feeding into handtruck. (references) | |
| Tends machine that removes moisture or wrinkles from felt sheets or hides: Places material between rollers of machine and depresses pedal that rotates lower roller against upper roller to press moisture or smooth wrinkles from material. Releases pedal to separate rollers and stop machine. Removes material from rollers and places material on cart. May move controls to adjust rollers according to thickness of material. May be designated according to section of leather processed as Belly Wringer (leather mfg.); Crop-Setting-Out-Machine Operator (leather mfg.); or according to type of leather processed as Blue-Leather Setter (leather mfg.); Colored-Leather Setter (leather mfg.). May sponge water on hides before rolling to ensure uniformity of moisture content and be designated Sponger (leather mfg.). (references) | |
| Tends equipment that heats and mixes solvent with ground leafy plant to separate products, such as chlorophyll: Weighs specified amount of ground plant matter, such as alfalfa, and dumps it into steam-jacketed tank. Starts pumps to transfer specified amount of solvent into tank. Starts agitator that mixes solvent with plant matter to dissolve usable constituents. Observes thermometer and opens valve to regulate admission of steam to jacket and to maintain tank heat at prescribed temperature. Connects siphon hose and starts vacuum pump to transfer liquid products to collecting barrel, or to other departments for further processing or storage. May record production data in log. Opens tank outlet to dump residue into waste container. (references) | |
| Tends centrifuge or power-driven press that extracts moisture from residue of fermented mash after distillation: Pumps residue from storage tanks into centrifuge, or through filter screens and into power-driven press, that separates solids from liquids and extracts moisture from residue solids. Starts conveyor or blower system that transfers residue solids to rotary drier for further processing. Cleans and sterilizes equipment, using steam cleaning apparatus and alkali solutions. May maintain and repair equipment, using handtools. May be designated according to equipment tended as Centrifuge Operator (beverage); Press Operator (beverage). (references) | |
| Tends machine that neutralizes carbonizing solution in felt and extracts moisture: Lowers felt pads into tank of boiling water, adds acid neutralizing agent, such as soda ash, and turns valve to admit compressed air that agitates water. Transfers pads to electrically rotated basket by hand, starts basket, and directs stream of cold water on rotating pads to rinse pads. Shuts off water, and stops basket when moisture is expelled. (references) | |
| Tends steam pressure tanks that extract grease from cracklings: Adjusts temperature and pressure of tank filled with cracklings. Starts pumps to transfer specified solvent into tank to dissolve cracklings. Opens valve to transfer extracted grease to still. Takes sample of grease from still and inspects for clarity. (references) | |
| Operates digesters in steam distillation process to extract crude turpentine from wood: Regulates flow of steam through digesters. Gives directions to EXTRACTOR-OPERATOR HELPER (chemical) engaged in filling digesters with wood chips and dumping spent wood from digester. (references) | |
