JOB ROLE

Brief description of job roles: Doffer, Spinning/Ring Spinning Doffer; Doffer, Ring Frame; Gaiter; Shifter replaces filled bobbins with empty one on spindles of spinning frame. Brings and arranges sliver canes behind spinning frame. Brings empty bobbins in doffing boxes or baskets and set them in spindles of spinning frame. Watches winding of yarns on bobbins. Lifts filled bobbins from spindles and collects them in tray or baskets. Collects waste and removes them to godown. Keeps machine sides and department clean. May help Piecer in piecing broken ends of yarn May clean bobbins.

Spinner, Frame (Textile)/Ring Frame Tenter; tends spinning frame that draws out and twists roving or sliver into yarn: Patrols work area and observes spinning to detect nearly exhausted supply packages and breaks in yarn, roving, and sliver. Pieces up breaks in yarn, roving, and sliver and replaces nearly exhausted supply packages with full packages. Twists end of material from supply package to material in machine or threads material from supply package through machine guides and drawing rollers. Brushes yarn or lint from drawing rollers, guides, and rails. Notifies designated personnel of machine malfunction. May doff machine.

Reeler Textile; operates reeling machine for winding yarn from bobbins or cops into coils (skeins or hanks) places yarn bobbins or cops on spindles of machine, pulls ends of yarn from each bobbin or cop through guide hook and traverse rail and loops it to pin on reel. Sets dial that measures yardage of yarn wound. Turns reel by operating lever or by hand so that yarn is pulled from bobbins or cops and wound into coils. Replaces cops or bobbins when empty with filled ones and knots loose ends from new cops or bobbins to tail ends of coils. Stops machine when coils of prescribed yardage are made and removes coils from reel. May collect together required number of coil or hanks and make them in knots by hand. Is designated as RE-REELER or HAND MAKER when reeling silk yarn.

Yarn Tester; tests yarn by using various instruments for ascertaining its strength, elasticity, thickness, neatness, etc. conducts various tests such as 'windingbreaks, test' to ascertain continuity of hank, ͛size test' by using sizing-skeinwinder to find out thickness of yarn 'seriplane test' to find out uniformity and neatness of yarns 'serigraph test' to check strength and elasticity, cohesion test' to find out extent of wear and tear yarn will stand, 'conditioning oven test' to fix standard weight.

Combing Tenter; Comberman (Cotton Textile) tends combing machine for combing or separating short fibres from long ones and converting lap into sliver preparatory to drawing. Places lap rolls or spools in proper position on creel of combing machine. Pulls out and leads ends of lap through assembly on to feedrolls. Sets calender rollers to position and starts machine. Watches running of sliver through machine. Detects and joins broken ends of sliver . Removes surplus sliver after stopping machine to avoid jamming and when necessary. Leads web coming through funnel like guide into can at delivery end and replaces filled can with empties. Removes waste sliver rolls from back of machine to specified place or to waste bag. Cleans and oils machine.

Fibre Preparing, Spinning and Winding Machine Operators, Other; include workers who operate and monitor machines which prepare fibres, and spin, double, twist and wind yarn and thread not elsewhere classified.
