Due to the current state of emergency with regards to the local supply of face masks, Oerlikon Nonwoven is currently using its own laboratory system to produce electrostatically-charged filter media which are being sent to local small businesses and companies for the manufacture of face masks.
“We are currently receiving inquiries from all over the world for our system concepts. To improve the supply situation, we have changed our prioritisation in favour of considerably shorter delivery times for meltblown systems, so that customers can now be supplied even faster and also with very short lead times. A meltblown system will be commissioning at the site of a leading Western European nonwovens producers as early as the second quarter of 2020. This system will be deployed exclusively in the manufacture of nonwovens for respiratory masks,” Ingo Mählmann, vice president sales and marketing Oerlikon Nonwoven said.
