A Winding Operator is responsible to operate winding machines. The spun operator will rotate and operate between four different machines that produce similar yarn package products. The operators can work individually or in teams of two depending on the machine and production levels. Work tasks include creeling and doffing yarn packages, threading up machines, and repairing broken yarn ends as needed. Yarn packages weigh between 3.5 to 8.0 lbs. Pushing and pulling yarn buggies can vary between 10.0 to 20.0 lbs of force. The operator supplies the machine with yarn packages by placing them from yarn buggies or packing cartons onto pucks located on the conveyor belt. After the yarn package is in position, the operator will hand strip extra yarn and discard the waste in a plastic bin.
