  • 1.2 Yarn batch is checked to ensure conformity to specifications.
  • 1.3 Non-conforming materials are reported.
  • 1.4 Cones are loaded onto creeling magazine.
  • 1.5 Yarn is tied or spliced into creel and entered into the reed, accumulators, tension and clearing devices as required.
  • 1.6 Yarns are checked to ensure they are straight, flat and aligned.
2 Maintain continuous flow of yarn during production
  • 2.1 Tension settings are adjusted to meet production requirements.
  • 2.2 Sensors are checked for operation as required.
  • 2.3 Broken yarn is identified.
  • 2.4 Yarn is retied using weaver's knots, alternative tying tools or methods.
  • 2.5 Yarn flow is maintained according to the need and speed of the machine and OHS practices.
  • 2.6 Creels are reloaded with cones as required to achieve continuous flow of yarn.
  • 2.7 Machine or product faults are reported or addressed.
3 Complete operations
  • 3.1 Empty cones are despatched.
  • 3.2 Cleaning of area and disposal of waste is completed to ensure work environment is maintained in a safe and productive manner.
