Coagulation operator jobs in Finland
Coagulation operators control machines to coagulate synthetic rubber latex into rubber crumb slurry. They prepare these rubber crumbs for finishing processes. Coagulation operators examine the appearance of the crumbs and adjust the operation of filters, shaker screens and hammer mills to remove moisture from the rubber crumbs.

Coagulation operator - Which skills are essential?
Monitor the tank in order to prevend explosion or decomposition due to an accumulation of heat.
Optimise and maintain the parameters of the production process such as flow, temperature or pressure.
Tend coagulation equipments and machinery such as hammer mills, soap conversion tanks, screens or leach tanks making sure that the coagulation process is according to specifications.
Process latex mixtures using control panels in order to obtain rubber products such as foam rubber sheets, balloons or finger cots.
Weigh materials and products, record weight and other relevant data on tags or labels.
Measure the size of a processed part when checking and marking it to check if it is up to standard by use of two and three dimensional precision measuring equipment such as a caliper, a micrometer, and a measuring gauge.
Develop crumb slurry out of coagulated synthetic rubber latex by preparing the rubber crumbs for finishing.
Make use of protection equipment according to training, instruction and manuals. Inspect the equipment and use it consistently.
Segregate into batches the raw materials to be further processed.
Avoid the mixing or contamination of materials.
Types of protective materials and equipment foreseen for various types of tasks such as general or specialised cleaning activities.
Operate the pump which transfers latex into mixing tanks, making sure the density of the obtained latex is according to specification.
Maintain required company records and forms in order to report any defective materials or questionable conditions of manufacturing machinery and equipment.
The production and characteristics of synthetic materials such as synthetic fibres, synthetic paper, synthetic resins or synthetic rubber.
The application of pressurised gas to produce mechanical motion.
Extract fatty acid obtained through the conversion of creamy latex into coagulated slurry which is further processed in the soap conversion tanks.
Fill the mixing tank with the chemical ingredients, allowing also the water through the valves at the indicated mark on the tank wall.
Use air-conveyor chutes to transfer products or mixtures from containers to storage tanks.
Monitor and accordingly adjust the valves in order to allow a specific amount of liquids (such as ammonia sulfuric acid or viscous soap) or steam into the mixer or machine.
Measure the raw materials prior to their loading in the mixer or in machines, ensuring they conform with the specifications.
Coagulation operator - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Inspect paint to ensure it is of a good quality by testing the viscosity, homogeneity and other factors.
Operate pumping equipment; oversee gas and oil transport from wellheads to refineries or storage facilities.
Set up the rubber machines as required by specifications, regulating their speed, pressure and temperature.
Change the soap filter from the plodder machine by unbolting the filter cap, inspecting it and replacing it according to specifications.
Check the impact of manufacturing machinery on the environment, analysing temperature levels, water quality and air pollution.
Manipulate the shape, properties and size of raw rubber material.
Regularly inspect and perform all required activities to maintain the equipment in functional order prior or after its use.
Supervise and organise the area in which products are stored.
Mix the specified compounds together with latex by using the agitators.
Operate the internal mixer and the Two Roll Mill used for raw materials mixing, aiming to have as output dry rubber products.
Analyse the already weighted samples of latex in order to check if the specified parameters, such as density, are according to the formula.
Operate hydraulic pumping systems.
Write reports on the manufactured batches history taking into account the raw data, tests performed and compliance to GMP of each batch of product.
Prepare and place correctly the rubber materials in order to be assembled.
Perform the selection of the proper materials to be processed, ensuring they are according to specifications.
Adjust the consistency of a chemical solution by cooking it or by injecting steam in order to dissolve it.
Theoretical and practical applications of the science studying the action of displacements and forces on physical bodies to the development of machinery and mechanical devices.
Perform the cleaning of mixers in order to prepare them for mixing different types of compounds.
