Weber Ultrasonics AG is an experienced technology provider for mask production equipment that has now started manufacturing respiratory and surgical masks in Germany with the support of other companies. The Covid 19 pandemic has gripped Europe on a large scale. There has been a shortage of PPE equipment among civilians and medical staff. Thus, in addition to protective clothing and gloves, breathing protection and surgical masks are in high demand. The production capacity of the compact standard plant with a single tool is around 60 breathing protection masks per hour.

The aim is to achieve protection class FFP3 for the masks produced according to the current standards and perform an accelerated inspection of Covid 19 pandemic breathing protection masks for Germany. The company has also experienced increased demand for production equipment for surgical masks and it has solutions in this segment to enable the production of 200 masks per minute. “Since the SARS pandemic in 2002/2003, we have been producing equipment for the manufacture of different protective masks made of nonwovens based on thermoplastic synthetics. The equipment is primarily supplied to customers in Asia,” reports Christian Unser, Chief Sales Officer, Weber Ultrasonics AG. “We now need to put the plants into operation virtually at our customers' premises and to do this, it is important that we have the same performance here. This also has the positive effect that we can push forward developments directly on the plant, perform tests for customers and, above all, produce surgical masks in large quantities ourselves,” quoted Unser.
