Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
correctly set up the reel in-feed, splicer, bridge, pre-heater, double backer, curing, coating and/or waxing sections of a corrugator for at least TWO different product runs, according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria
demonstrate all safety devices on the machine.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe significant risks posed to workers in this activity
explain measures employed to prevent injury and/or illness in the case of the above identified risks
identify FIVE different types/categories of rolled paperboard
list end products commonly made from each rolled paperboard type
identify principal components of a typical, double-backed corrugated board adhesive, and how to determine satisfactory performance of this adhesive
list main tools and/or equipment items required for efficient handling of paperboard rolls in the corrugation in-feed section
list the check required to ensure a sample conforms to required quality standards
list preparation required prior to setting up the sewing machine
list steps required to set roll pressures, adjust steam delivery system and calibrate equipment
list steps required to determine if the correct settings have been applied
list product factors that are monitored automatically during production
ensure monitoring function is effective
explain how to set up machine checks
identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information included in them.
Assessment Conditions
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to in-line corrugated machinery, special purpose tools, equipment and materials.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
