W+D/BICMA develops 3 ply face mask line with a lower cost mask design

The new AUXILIUM FM mask line laminates and converts three layers of fabrics (spun bond, melt blown, thermo-bonded nonwovens and others) and ensures highest quality hygiene standards for “flat masks” or “surgical masks” with a metal stay for better comfort and fit over the nose (even for those wearing glasses).  W+D/BICMA brings proven technology in automatic unwinding and splicing for nonwoven webs; cutting and positioning devices; and heat (or ultrasonic) edge welding.

The new AUXILIUM FM mask line has a speed of up to 150 m/min (492 ft/min) and is able to produce up to 1 million high quality face masks per day making it one of the fastest production mask machines in the world.  Adding to the manufacturing throughput efficiency are the unique lower cost ear loops with more affordable Lycra® thereby maximizing lowest cost per piece mass production.  There are also different options available for mask stacking and packing automation which make this mask machine further suited for Industry 4.0 manufacturing.

W+D/BICMA is one of the globally leading specialists for converting machines for the production of hygiene end products:  Tissue products, diapers for children and adults, feminine hygiene products, absorbent pads and now also surgical face masks.
