About the Role
We are looking for a skilled and safety\-conscious Production Line Operator to operate and maintain our nonwoven fabric manufacturing line. The operator will be responsible for running a complete integrated line from fiber opening through to the finished wound roll, ensuring consistent product quality and smooth machine performance.
Key Responsibilities
**Machine Operation**
* Operate the full nonwoven production line including: Bale Opener, Pre\-Opener, Edge Trim Opener, Vibrating Feeder, Carding Machine, Cross Lapper, Needle Punching Machines, Cooling Machine, and Cross Winder \& Cutter.
* Monitor and adjust process parameters (speed, frequency, GSM settings) via the touch screen control panel to meet product specifications.
* Perform startup checks on all machines including power supply verification, belt tension, drive chain condition, and safety cover fitment.
* Ensure smooth handover between shifts by recording and communicating all running data and machine status.
**Quality Control**
* Monitor fabric weight (GSM), web uniformity, and surface quality throughout production.
* Detect and respond to irregularities such as fiber tangles, belt misalignment, abnormal noise or vibration.
* Adjust carding machine speeds, cross lapper layering, and needle punching parameters to maintain consistent output.
**Preventive Maintenance**
* Perform daily and periodic lubrication of drive chains, bearings, rollers, and gear reducers.
* Clean machines at the end of every shift and inspect fastening bolts, photo\-electric sensors, and conveying lattices.
* Report and document any faults, abnormal wear, or machine issues immediately.

* Use Emergency Stop buttons promptly in case of any incident.
* Hang warning signs and isolate power before performing any maintenance.
* Keep the work area clean and free of fiber accumulation around moving parts.
Requirements
* Prior experience operating industrial textile or nonwoven production machinery is preferred.
* Ability to read and interpret machine parameters and touchscreen control interfaces.
* Basic mechanical aptitude — able to identify abnormal sounds, vibrations, or wear.
* Understanding of lubrication schedules and preventive maintenance routines.
* Physically capable of working in a manufacturing environment (standing, lifting fiber bales).
* Attention to detail and commitment to product quality and workplace safety.
* Ability to work rotating shifts.
Nice to Have
* Experience with carding machines, needle looms, or thermal bonding lines.
* Familiarity with nonwoven fabric types and GSM specifications.
* Basic electrical knowledge (checking power supply, wiring connections).
