01:09

Some manufacturers of diaper-making machines are shifting to mask-making instead to support the ongoing battle against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The Hanwei Machine Manufacturing Company is among the first to have changed its operations to mask-making. So far, the company has manufactured five mask machines, which are under trial at present. When put into operation, each of these machines is expected to produce 400,000 to 500,000 masks every day. The company will also finish the production of another 10 mask machines by February 27 and send them to its clients.
