Mini Production Lines in Containers Help Augment Global Face Mask Supplies
A compact manufacturing system from Swiss-based Mikron developed with Festo pneumatic and electric components throughout is helping meet the burgeoning global demand for disposable face masks. This new scalable, open source system can produce 50-100 protective mouth-nose masks per minute or up to two million per month. With Festo contributing engineering support, it was developed in just six weeks instead of the usual six months.
