Clothing And Textile Enterprises Fire Line Conversion, Wenzhou Mask Factory Increased From 1 To 26 A Month.

It's hard to find a mask.

Before the outbreak, there was only one mask manufacturer in Wenzhou. A month later, in Wenzhou, 25 mask manufacturers came out, and the daily output of the mask was nearly 20 times, and it was growing at a rate of 10% every day.

The mask is small, but the difficulty of conversion is not small. But Wenzhou enterprises have done it. No professional production line, manual sewing; no equipment, cross provincial procurement; can not buy raw materials, research and development of their own...... In this way, a group of Wenzhou's traditional clothing, textile, medicine and other enterprises are now transformed into mask factories.

What should we do if there is no production line?

The young man had a stitch of stitches.

Unlike professional masks, the first thing that clothing companies face is that there is no professional production line. "Some of us, some of those who left the factory during the Spring Festival, did not believe in a mask." The general manager of the production department of Zhejiang Jordan's clothing Limited by Share Ltd is confident that the production is confident. The private enterprise specializing in the production of Western-style clothes for 24 years has just made an artificial production line of a mask.

In the afternoon of February 25th, after testing the body temperature and showing the "Health Code" and registered, the reporter was allowed to enter the sterile workshop temporarily vacated by Jordan clothing Limited by Share Ltd in Zhejiang. In the workshop, more than 20 workers wear masks, protective clothing and sewing masks. Sewing machines pedal on the pedal. "We do not have professional mechanized equipment for producing respirators, but with basic sewing equipment and a group of highly skilled workers, we have transformed the garment production line to produce masks." Say more.

Because there are no professional masks to produce machines, the basic process of cutting, wrapping, folding, fixing and hanging the ears must be done manually. A mask is three layers, each layer of material is pre cut, and the workers need to stitch them in order and fix the ear. Xiao Xiang Zhou, 25, was originally responsible for lock buttonholes in the clothing production workshop. Now he is stepping on the sewing machine, fixing the mask and hanging the ear, and fixing the mask. "I'm young and I learn fast. I can handle 500 masks a day." Xiao Xiangzhou said, "on the average, a mask is placed on each seam. 30 sewing machines are placed on the foot, 15 thousand times a day, and walking after work is a limp."

It takes about two and a half minutes to make a mask manually from the seam cover to the seam elastic belt. At present, the output of Joe's clothing is about 5000 a day, and all of them have been booked in advance. "As the number of workers returning to work continues to increase, the output will continue to increase." Say more.

Raw materials are urgent. What should I do?

R & D mission "spaced" technology tackling key problems

As more and more enterprises change their mouths, there is no obvious contradiction between raw materials, especially melt blown fabrics. Melted cloth is known as the "heart" of the respirator. Its diameter is only 1/10 of the outer diameter of the respirator. It is an important insurance layer for isolating virus droplets. "For garment enterprises, ordinary non-woven fabrics are in stock and easy to purchase in the market, but because of the little demand for melt blown fabrics, they are not in short supply."

"More complicated clothing orders can be answered. Melt spray cloth can not defeat us." Chi Huijie, chairman of the East Mongolia group, dares to say "dare to do".

Since January 18th, members of the company's R & D center who have been on holiday have set up emergency mask team to start developing a substitute for melt blown fabric. Because the epidemic can not be seen to work, the researchers in Japan, Shanghai and Wenzhou are working online every day during the Spring Festival.

The principle of virus isolation is that the virus can not be transmitted through electrostatic adsorption. In addition, there is no alternative plan. After several days of "brainstorming", it finally came to an end. "Electrostatic adsorption is the inherent thinking of mask technology, physical obstruction is more thorough!" Chi Huijie said, an idea ignited the enthusiasm of the whole group.

The team began to browse the new materials research and development materials at home and abroad, and finally decided to adopt the filter membrane form to solve the problem of respirator filtration and respiratory resistance. Finding the balance between them is the key. The difference between 0.1 and a small thickness will bring huge difference between the manufacturing process and the experience. In February 11th, the filter line experiment began. After dozens of debugging tests, the thickness of the filter membrane was finally determined not more than 3 microns, and it was supported by two non-woven fabrics imported from inside and outside. The mask was formally put into operation and checked by physical intercepting and filtering. It was tested by the Provincial Light Industrial Products Quality Inspection Institute and accorded with the national standard of disposable respirator.

In order to play the role of raw materials to the extreme, Chi Huijie once again carried forward the tradition of "Baotuan" and set up the WeChat group of Wenzhou garment enterprise transformation alliance. Only half a day later, more than 10 enterprises, such as the Red Dragonfly shoe industry, Jordan dress, 4CM clothing and fan Xi Shi dress, entered the group in succession.

What happens if time waits for no man?

Opening up "green channel" to speed up production transformation

With the acceleration of re production, the demand for respirators is getting bigger and bigger, and manual sewing is not enough. Some enterprises are willing to invest heavily, and try to get a mask automatic production line. One of them is Kou Tian Hu, the head of Wenzhou Ginza shoe industry Co., Ltd.

After the outbreak, Kou Tian Hu bought masks everywhere, but it was everywhere. "According to 4 hours of calculations, one employee needs 3 days a day. Our company has more than 1000 employees. The company's Fung Men street has more than 1000 enterprises, so the conversion is both a support and a self rescue."

Finally, after hearing the equipment source from friends outside the province, Kou Tianhu did not think much about it and decided to buy a semi-automatic equipment.

In February 19th, Kou Tien Hu sent people to drive through various checkpoints. After arriving at their destination, they called the lorry overnight and pulled the equipment back to catch up, and arrived in Wenzhou on the 21 th.

Because there is no production qualification, 21 PM, Zhang Qingfeng, director of Fung Men Street office immediately arrived at the scene office, emergency docking all relevant departments. "All procedures are green, and everything is simple and ready for production." A saying made Kou Tian Hu eat a "reassurance". Kou Tian Hu sent another person to buy another equipment outside the province.

"The Lucheng district government has been well connected. I will send the driver to Hangzhou tomorrow morning at 5 a.m., and the provincial quality inspection department will start testing at work, and immediately after the completion of the production." At 19 o'clock in February 25th, Wenzhou Ginza Shoes Co., Ltd. was brightly lit, and three technical workers invited from Henan were making final debugging on two mask production lines. After formally put into operation, the daily output reached 60 thousand. "The mask produced will be coordinated through the streets and the shoe leather industry association of Wenzhou. We need to take a few to restore the production." Kou Tianhu said.

According to the national standard, routine mask detection should be pre processed, and the pretreatment time should be more than 3 days. A test report should be given at least 3 days. But "epidemic" field is like battlefield, fighting with epidemic situation is running with time. Wenzhou Market Supervision Bureau, the Bureau of letters and other departments take the initiative to intervene, and guide conditional enterprises to change the mask, and open up the approval of "green channel". "As long as the mask material and production inspection conditions are up to standard, we are ready to assist enterprises in reporting emergency approval channels and obtaining medical masks registration certificates as soon as possible." Han Gangyi, deputy director of drug certification and inspection center of Wenzhou market supervision and Administration Bureau, said.

Up to now, Wenzhou mask production enterprises have increased from 1 to 26 before the outbreak. The transfer enterprises mainly come from industries such as medicine, clothing, shoes, leather, textiles, maternity and baby products, etc. the daily output has increased by nearly 20 times compared with that before, and is growing at 10% per day.
