Safety & Compliance
• Follow all safety procedures related to high-temperature equipment, sharp tooling, lifting devices, chemicals, and die-cleaning processes.
• Ensure dies and tooling meet quality, safety, and regulatory standards.
• Participate in safety audits, training, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Stop any activity that presents imminent safety risk and report hazards using established safety protocols.
Die Maintenance & Repair
• Perform routine, preventive, and corrective maintenance on dies and tooling, including bico/mono dies, meltblown dies, honeycombs and related components.
• Execute inspections, cleaning, rebuild, and part replacements such as screens and panels on honeycomb units.
• Disassemble, inspect, repair, and reassemble dies according to specifications and safety standards.
• Identify and report wear, damage, or alignment issues and take corrective action.
• Maintain tight tolerances and verify tooling condition using precision measurement instruments.
• Document all maintenance activities, repairs, and adjustments.
• Execute die cleaning using approved methods such as ultrasonic cleaning, pyrolysis oven processes, manual cleaning techniques and visual and microscope inspections.
Setup & Changeovers
• Monitoring die installation, removal, and changeovers on nonwoven production lines.
• Ensure proper alignment, temperature control, and configuration of dies during setup.
Troubleshooting & Technical Support
• Diagnose die-related production issues such as polymer drips on Spunbond and Meltblown stripes or uneven Meltblown distribution issues.
• Support diagnose honeycomb related issues such as air flow irregularities and polymer drips.
• Collaborate with operators, process technicians, and engineers to resolve tooling problems quickly.
• Recommend improvements to die design, maintenance practices, or process parameters.
Preventive & Predictive Maintenance
• Execute preventive maintenance schedules for all dies and related tooling.
• Monitor die performance trends and identify opportunities for predictive maintenance strategies.
• Maintain accurate records of die history, repairs, heaters and performance metrics.
• Analyze maintenance history and production plans to prioritize activities.
• Document all maintenance, repairs, inspections, and adjustments.
Tooling Inventory & Documentation
• Manage inventory of die components, spare parts, and consumables.
• Ensure all tooling is properly labeled, stored, and maintained.
• Track and keep records related with Spunbond and Meltblown dies going into production
• Read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and die specifications.
Training and Leadership
• Participate in training on new technologies, tools, and processes.
• Provide technical guidance and training to peers when required.
• Demonstrate leadership and effective communication during troubleshooting and maintenance activities.
• Comply with administrative requirements in a timely manner, such as safety reports (hazards), quality incidents, and completion of assigned trainings, among other assigned tasks.
