Machine Minders
The role of a Machine Minder is pivotal in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the snacking factory's packaging process.

This involves closely monitoring the equipment, making adjustments as needed, and ensuring that production targets are met. By improving efficiencies and maintaining operational excellence, the Machine Minder plays a crucial role in the production line's success.
At Grade 3, the responsibilities expand to encompass the operation of all variations of VFFS bagging machines and multi-head fillers. This includes not only optimizing their performance but also being proficient in completing basic maintenance tasks.
