Textile solutions for mouth and nose masks
The coronavirus infection rates are rapidly increasing worldwide, and require readily available solutions.
In this context, the Robert Koch Institute has recently re-evaluated the wearing of mouth protection, including non-certified face masks: "If people - even without symptoms - wear a mask as a precautionary measure, this could reduce the risk of virus transmission to others," the RKI website states.
With its warp knitting and knitting machines, the KARL MAYER Group offers production technologies for manufacturing textile solutions to contain the spread of pathogens.

Warp knitted face masks - highly efficient production
-
-
KARL MAYER offers a manufacturing technology for the highly efficient production of mouth and nose masks.
These masks have been developed at KARL MAYER, and are manufactured during a highly productive one-step production in large quantities.
In other words: the masks are made in one piece, without the need of any sewing work. Depending on the machine type, an output of up to 400 pieces per hour is possible on a 138" machine.
KARL MAYER developed various models, for different requirements. We provid some examples of warp knitted face masks in our virtual showroom:

Elastic bands for face masks - Quick help through simple and effective production
-
The current high demand for protective clothing is causing bottlenecks in some areas, including bands for face masks.
KARL MAYER has developed a simple solution for producing elastic tapes for mouth and nose masks in large quantities: tricot machines with two guidebars for elastic articles can be converted to the production of tapes in a completely uncomplicated way.
The highly productive warp knitting machines can thus produce tapes for up to 15 million masks per month.
-
Today the tapes are mainly produced in Asia on weaving machines. By using the warp knitting machines available in Europe, regional bottlenecks can be eliminated quickly and easily.
