Occupations | Tends machines that mix chemical ingredients, such as resins, plasticizers, solvents, and coloring matter with filler to produce plastics materials: Weighs, measures, and combines ingredients according to formula, and dumps or pours ingredients into mixer. Turns valves to pump liquid ingredients into mixer. Starts agitator to mix batch for specified time. Turns wheel or valves, opens gates, or presses switch to tilt mixer to discharge compound into containers, storage tanks, or hoses. Posts operating information in log. May wash equipment, using hose and brushes. May turn steam and water valves and observe gauges to regulate temperature of mix. May dry material in atmospheric drier. May be designated according to operation performed as Blender (plastic prod.; plastic-synth.); Color Mixer (plastic prod.; plastic-synth.); Resin Compounder, Batch Lot (plastic-synth.); Solution Mixer (plastic-synth.).

| Operates mixing machine to blend ingredients into compounds for processing: Loads ingredients into mixing machine hopper from conveyor, scales, or handtrucks, or directs other workers in performing this task. Starts machine and adjusts valves to admit steam or cooling fluids to steam jacket or devices in mixing chamber to aid in blending and densifying mixture. Operates machine until mixture reaches desired consistency, and turns lever to unload mixture into container, conveyor, or mill for sheeting. May operate auxiliary equipment to break up, grind, dry mix, or otherwise prepare mixture for final processing. May tend automatic mixing machine. May be designated according to trade name of machine. (references) | |
| Tends machine that separates matted fur fibers and blends fibers for use in felt hats: Selects fibers according to quality, type, and weight specifications. Dumps fibers into hopper of machine. Starts machine that forces fibers against teeth of cylinders (picker rollers), that separate matted fibers, and into air-blending chamber that mixes fibers. Removes blended fibers from machine and places fibers in bags or boxes. Cleans machine, using brush, broom, and airhose. Lubricates machine, using oilcan and grease gun. May sort and weigh waste. May be designated according to type of machine tended as Conical Mixer (hat & cap); Cylindrical Mixer (hat & cap). (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) | |
| Tends machine that mixes food ingredients for subsequent processing, canning, or freezing: Loads hopper of mixer with premeasured quantities of ingredients by hand, conveyor, bucket hoist, or by opening valves. Starts mixer and observes operation to ensure thorough blending. Pulls lever to tilt and empty mixer or uses scoop to empty mixture into chute, hopper, or container. May weigh out and measure ingredients, using platform scale and measuring containers. May observe and control conveyors and filling machines in processing line to ensure continuous operation.

| Tends machine that mixes compressed yeast with oils and whiteners preparatory to extrusion and packing: Signals worker to fill mixer with specified amount of compressed yeast. Pours specified quantity of cutting oils and whitening agents into yeast and starts agitators to mix ingredients for specified time. Observes and feels mixed yeast to determine its consistency and pours specified amount of water into yeast to achieve required consistency. Starts screw conveyor to transfer yeast to extruders.
