Cross Border Emergency Rescue Masks For Epidemic Prevention And Self Rescue

In January 20th, academician Zhong Nanshan first identified the phenomenon of human transmission of new crown pneumonia. However, the battle against the new coronavirus continued to escalate in the face of the serious shortage of masks, one of the important materials for fighting the epidemic. After entering February, there were nearly 100 masks production lines nationwide. They came from textile, automobile manufacturing, mobile phone production and other enterprises that had no connection with respirators. This is both a cross industry emergency aid and a self rescue war.

In February 1st, Apple announced that it would temporarily close the apple retail outlets in China. Until February 9th, with the workers returning to work in succession, in order to transfer some of the production capacity of iPhone9 to offshore factories such as Vietnam, India and Mexico, all workers on the production line had to wear masks to smooth the plan. However, masks purchased by factories can only supply workers with less production lines. Workers without masks can only stand by in dormitories.

The total number of workers in Foxconn Shanghai factory is expected to reach 200 thousand. The scale of workers in factories across the country is even more than one million. The demand for mask is very difficult to solve through social channels.

It was not until February 5th that Foxconn officially announced that it started the production line masks. It first introduced the mask production line in the group Longhua Park and implemented the trial production in February 5th. The production line is expected to produce 100 thousand masks per day. It is estimated that by the end of February, the whole workshop can reach 2 million Nissan. Although the mask produced by Foxconn is still in the process of qualification authentication, a self rescue battle has begun. In this way, Foxconn pioneered a cross industry epidemic prevention and self rescue. Other industries have also copied and opened the war of self rescue.

In February 4th, SAIC GM's Wuling joint supplier modified its workshop and arranged a dust-free workshop, equipped with 12 mask production lines (4 production lines producing N95 masks, and 8 producing general medical respirators). According to manufacturers, by the end of February, when the dust-free workshop has been put into use, the daily production of respirators is expected to reach 1 million 700 thousand.

At noon on February 7th, Sinopec has completed 11 masks production lines with its partners. It is expected that there will be 1 mask production lines in February 15th, and the 11 mask production lines will be in place at the end of February. The average daily production scale is expected to reach 600 thousand ~100 in early March.

At the same time, Sinopec will provide raw materials for melt blown fabrics for three local mask manufacturers in Beijing, Jiangsu and Guangdong, and will start commissioning in February 9th, with more than 235 thousand Nissan masks.

This cross industry mask war on epidemic prevention and self rescue has increased the confidence of the whole nation.
