Occupations | Tends centrifugal drier that removes water or other liquids from slurries: Inserts filter cloth and screen in basket of centrifugal drum. Lowers bell-shaped cover over outlet in bottom of basket if unit is bottom-discharge type and shovels, pours, or pumps slurry into basket. Closes lid if unit is top-discharge type. Starts basket revolving and moves control to regulate speed, according to specifications. Lifts bell, lowers blade to cut crystallized cake from walls of basket, and pushes centrifuged mass through outlet into containers or onto conveyor, using paddle. May release trap door, start pumps, or shovel material from basket to unload drier. May turn steam or fuel valves to heat drier basket or drum to maintain centrifuged material at specified temperature while drying. When drying and discharging salt, may be designated Salt Cutter (chemical). (references) |
| Tends centrifuge that removes impurities from varnishes and lacquers: Positions filter cloth on supply tank of centrifuge. Starts pump to transfer product from cooling tank, through filter, into containers or supply tank. Starts centrifuge and opens discharge valve to transfer filtered material from centrifuge into portable tank. Adjusts controls to regulate flow of material through lines and tanks. May start pumps to transfer liquids from portable tank to storage tank. Disassembles centrifuge and pump, using handtools and cleans equipment with solvents. Pumps liquids to filter press if further filtration is specified. May be designated according to material filtered as Lacquer Filterer (paint & varnish); Varnish Filterer (paint & varnish) I.

| Tends centrifuge and auxiliary equipment that washes and dries slurry solution, formed during making of soap, to recover glycerin-free salt: Tests sample of slurry from decantation tank for salt content and to determine rate of flow of solution into centrifuge hopper, using testing instruments, such as hydrometer. Turns valve to run slurry into centrifuge and presses switch to start machine. Observes gauges to verify rate of flow and adjusts thermostat to regulate temperature of water in centrifuge. Opens valves to fill drums or silo with salt flakes. Turns valve to discharge liquid into holding tanks. May dissolve salt in liquid to make brine and perform specific gravity test, using hydrometer. (references) | |
| Tends centrifuge machines to remove solid impurities and water from animal and vegetable oils: Turns valves to admit steam to jackets of machines. Starts pumps and opens valves to feed oil to machines and to transfer oil to receiving tanks. Observes gauges on machines to determine when temperature is within prescribed range. May rub oil between fingers to detect grit and reprocess oil that does not meet company standards. May open valves to pump oil through one or more settling tanks to separate water from oil. May clean centrifuge and settling tanks. Does not utilize heat when processing essential oils, such as citrus oils, due to volatility of these oils. (references) | |
| Controls centrifuge machine to melt, mix, and filter chicle for use in manufacturing chewing gum: Weighs specified amounts of ingredients and moves ingredients to machine, using handtruck. Loads ground chicle into steam-jacketed cooker of centrifuge according to prescribed time sequence. Reads gauges and turns air pressure and steam valves to maintain specified temperature and pressure in cooker and to control melting of chicle. Starts pumps that force melted chicle through strainers that filter out impurities and pump chicle into receiving tank. Cleans strainers and filters to remove collected impurities. Lubricates and makes minor repairs to equipment. (references) | |
| Tends centrifuge machines that refine liquid wort for use in making malted milk: Assembles and attaches bowl, rings, and cover onto centrifuge, using hoist and handtools. Starts machine, observes tachometer, and adjusts controls to regulate speed. Starts pumps, turns valves, and observes gauges to convey wort through machine at specified pressure. Regulates clarity of wort by observing color and turning valves to alter pressure flow. Removes solids from machine with wooden paddle. Cleans machine with water. (references) | |
| Tends centrifugal separator and flotation cells that separate starch from gluten in processing milled grain: Observes recording instruments, turns valves, and moves levers to obtain specified temperatures, specific gravities, and air, water, and product flow rates in centrifuges and flotation cells. Inspects, cleans, and lubricates equipment. Observes gauges and turns valves to maintain level of wash and dilution waters in supply tanks. (references) | |
