How exactly are masks made? What is the current domestic production of masks?

Meltblown fabrics, non-woven fabrics are cut into pieces and welded into masks one by one, and then sorted and inspected, artificially weighed, disinfected and sterilized.

In fact, it should be produced step by step, and it also needs some raw materials for processing.

It is necessary to prepare relevant fabrics, different types of masks have different requirements, and must be produced in a sterile environment.

According to preliminary statistics, as of February 3, the output of masks in 22 key provinces across the country has reached 10,000, an increase from the previous day, and the capacity utilization rate has reached 67%, an increase of 2 percentage points from the previous month; The output of N95 masks has reached 10,000, an increase of 48% month-on-month; The output of other medical masks was 9.98 million, an increase of 36% month-on-month, and the number of ordinary masks also reached 4.71 million.

On March 2, the state disclosed that the daily production capacity of masks in the country, including ordinary masks, medical masks, and medical N95 masks, reached 100 million, and the daily output reached 100 million, which further alleviated the contradiction between supply and demand of masks.

Previously, all localities have launched mask management policies in response to the epidemic, and the difference between purchase and sale is generally between 15 and 35%. According to the latest news, the core raw material of masks, meltblown cloth, has risen from 20,000 tons to more than 300,000 tons, a surge of more than 15 times.

Introduction to masksMask is a kind of hygiene product, generally used to filter the air entering the mouth and nose to block harmful gases, odors, droplets in and out of the wearer's mouth and nose, made of gauze or paper. Masks have a certain filtering effect on the air entering the lungs, and wearing a mask has a very good effect when respiratory infections are prevalent and when working in polluted environments such as dust. Masks can be divided into air-filtering masks and air-supplied masks.

What is the raw material for the production of masks?Generally, to make a 2-layer mask, you need non-woven fabrics, nose tendons, and ear hooks. To make a 3-layer mask, you need non-woven fabric, nose bridge tendons, ear hooks, and filter paper. To make an activated carbon mask, you need non-woven fabric, nose bridge tendons, ear hooks, filter paper, and activated carbon filter paper.

1. For the production of disposable masks, the production process of automated machines is adopted, and some materials are used in the production process.

2. The materials that need to be used are environmentally friendly and pollution-free non-woven fabrics, meltblown fabrics, nose bridge strips, ear belts, etc., which also require certain equipment for grinding.

3. The use of equipment requires mask filming machine, ear belt welding machine, packaging machine, etc., which need to cooperate to complete the work at the same time.

4. First of all, it is necessary to prepare the raw materials of the non-woven fabric, and then make the trace piece through the assembly line to carry out a series of operations.

5. After the mask sheet is formed, it has been transmitted, and the tape is carried out after arriving at the ear strap machine, and the mask has been basically formed at this time.

6. Through further sorting, disinfection, packaging and other operations, disposable masks can be officially launched and used, and the production process is completed.
