  • Lead plant employees in the safe operation of pellet-making equipment by monitoring moisture, pellet temperatures, and other production factors. Operations start with the scale, tippers, and in-feed pads for raw fiber delivery.
  • Adjust in-feed mixes and direct Loader Operators based on fiber type and moisture.
  • Continuously monitor and analyze the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system.
  • Review shift notes with the cross-shift Operator and communicate fiber mixes, equipment efficiencies, and any issues.
