pultrusion machine operator
Pultrusion Machine Operators tend, control, and maintain machines which enable the production of composite materials with consistent cross-sections by adding reinforcement fibres such as fibreglass to the existing material and coating the resulting material with resin; this then is pulled through a heated dye where it becomes cured.
Also called: pultruded fibreglass worker, pultrusion process operative, thermoplastic process worker, pultrusion machine worker, pultruded fibreglass product worker, pultrusion process operator, pultruded fibreglass product maker, pultrusion operator
