Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to undertake web conversion and finishing processes for non-woven textiles.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare for web conversion
- 1.1 Specifications are checked to identify requirements for production.
- 1.2 Web conversion and finishing process is selected according to product specification.
- 1.3 Set web guides and tensions for product according to specifications.
- 1.4 Machine controls are set to meet product requirements.
2 Undertake web conversion and finishing
- 2.1 Bonded web supply and speed is checked for conformance to specification.
- 2.2 Web conversion and finishing process is monitored and operational parameters are adjusted to meet product requirements.
- 2.3 Machine operations are monitored to ensure safe and correct operation according to OHS practices.
- 2.4 Web or cylinder alignment problems are identified and rectified.
- 2.5 Other minor product process and machine faults are identified and corrected where necessary to meet specified requirements and are reported.
- 2.6 Major machine faults are reported.
- 2.7 Machine is cleaned when required.
3 Check quality of finished and converted web
- 3.1 Finished and converted web is checked against quality standards and production requirements.
- 3.2 Faults and non-conformances are identified and rectified or reported.
4 Complete finishing process
- 4.1 Finished web or non-woven product is packed and labeled according to order and product requirement.
- 4.2 Cleaning of area is completed to ensure work environment is maintained in a safe and productive manner.
- 4.3 Production records are accurately completed.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Web conversion and finishing process may include
web cutting, slitting and re-reeling
base web finishing - micro-crepeing
base web finishing - coating
base web finishing - extrusion coating
base web finishing - flocking
