Mack has been supplying high-grade plastic parts and assemblies to a wide range of different industries for decades.
One of the company’s latest products is a COVID 19 face shield which protects the eyes, nose and mouth. Injection moulding machines from WITTMANN BATTENFELD are used to make the frames and straps for this product.
MACK uses a total of 18 injection moulding machines ranging from 220 to 1800 kN in clamping force, of which 15 are from WITTMANN BATTENFELD.
The company says the COVID 19 face shield stands out by its high wearing comfort, partly due to its light weight of only 68 grams.
From May of this year onwards, the COVID 19 face shields can also be individually labeled. The masks are not only sold to Austrian customers, but distributed worldwide.
At MACK, the high demand for these face shields is very welcome, since the company is well able to meet it following a recent expansion of its capacity.
The COVID 19 masks consist of a frame with straps and a transparent shield. The straps are produced with a hydraulic machine from the HM series. A machine from the servo-hydraulic SmartPower series with 600 kN clamping force, equipped with a WP80 sprue picker from WITTMANN, is used to make the frame.
The machines from the SmartPower series excel by their small footprint, cleanness, low noise level, minimal energy consumption thanks to an ultra-modern servo-hydraulic system, and extremely high repeatability.
