Face Mask Assembly and Converting Equipment
topic
Face mask converting lines assemble spunbond outer and inner layers with meltblown filter middle layer through ultrasonic welding of layer margins, nose wire insertion, ear loop or headband attachment, and individual mask cutting and folding at speeds of 50 to 150 masks per minute for pleated surgical masks and 30 to 60 masks per minute for FFP2 cup-shaped respirators, with performance validation by bacterial filtration efficiency and breathing resistance testing.
Role
Produces the finished face mask products from nonwoven components through an integrated assembly process that coordinates multiple material feeding, welding, and cutting operations into a continuous production flow, with pandemic-driven mask demand revealing the strategic importance of domestic face mask converting capacity and the technical challenges of rapidly scaling mask production from laboratory prototype to high-volume industrial output.
