Frames and straps for protective transparent face shields

Frames and straps for Covid-19 face shield are manufactured by Mack on machines from Wittmann Battenfeld. Based in Altenmarkt (Austria), 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 molding machines from Wittmann Battenfeld are used to make the frames and straps for this product.

With this face shield, Mack is making a substantial contribution to the fight against Covid-19. 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. In German-speaking countries, the face shields can also be ordered via a web portal specially created by Mack for this purpose, www.mack-gesichtsschutz.at.

The Covid-19 masks consist of a frame with straps and a transparent shield. The frame and straps are manufactured on injection molding machines from Wittmann Battenfeld. 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.
