Role & responsibilities :
Process &
Parameter Control:

Set, control, and continuously monitor mix ratios/index (NCO:OH), raw material temperatures, injection pressures, and line speed in strict accordance with recipes and SOPs.
Quality &
In-Process Checks:

Perform and log regular tests for cream time, gel time, tack-free time, core density, peel adhesion, and visual surface/bonding quality.
Raw Material Handling: Manage polyol/pentane premix operations, enforce FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out), verify drum storage temperatures, clean strainers/filters, manage secure drum changes, and maintain batch traceability.
Line Setup &
Changeovers:

Assist in seamless skin and thickness changeovers to minimize downtime; balance line flow with downstream double belt, saw, and packing sections.
EHS &
Pentane Safety Compliance:

Strictly follow pentane safety protocols (explosion-proof/LEL monitors, earthing/bonding, ventilation systems), mandatory PPE usage, MSDS guidelines, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and chemical spill responses.
Troubleshooting &
Optimization:

Identify abnormalities early to troubleshoot issues like core voids, delamination,



foam scorching, and edge crush via real-time process parameter adjustments.
Documentation &
Continuous Improvement:

Complete shift batch sheets, rejection tags, deviation logs, and ERP/MES data entries accurately; maintain 5S standards and drive improvements in First Pass Yield (FPY), raw material yield, and OEE.

Preferred candidate profile:
Education: ITI / Diploma in Chemical, Mechanical, or Production Engineering.
Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience operating continuous PUF / PIR sandwich panel lines (exposure to mineral wool panels is a plus).
Technical Skills: Deep understanding of continuous foam process control, density and peel-adhesion testing, precision measuring tools (calipers, gauges, tape), basic root cause analysis (5-Why, basic SPC), and operational data entry in ERP/MES.
Preferred Background: Candidates with prior experience in sandwich panel / insulation manufacturing companies (e.g., EPACK, Metecno, Icemake, Alfa PEB, Everest Composites, RINAC, or similar).
