Rubber Dipping Machine Operator Stationary Plant & Machine Operators
SaveWhat Does a Rubber Dipping Machine Operator Do?
Rubber dipping machine operators dip forms into liquid latex to manufacture rubber products such as balloons, finger cots or prophylactics. They mix the latex and pour it into the machine. Rubber dipping machine operators take a sample of latex goods after final dip and weigh it. They add ammonia or more latex to machine if the product does not meet requirements.
