GM also is preparing a new production line to begin making much-needed N95 masks
General Motors is beginning to produce N95 masks at a former transmission plant outside Detroit. The manikin head is being used to test the fit of the masks prior to production for distribution beginning.Engineers on Thursday afternoon also were preparing a new production line to begin making much-needed N95 masks, which still need to be tested and certified.
For the project, the team also built an ISO Class 8-equivalent cleanroom at the plant. The team cleared the area and crews then installed new electrical service lines to power the production equipment and assembly stations, according to GM. Face masks are cut by a machine and spit out faster than an ATM machine dispensing bills. The machine ultrasonic welds three layers of the material into one, crimps the front of the masks and inserts the metal line, or nose wire, in the mask.A worker at the end of the line does a quick product check, followed by a more in-depth inspection at another workstation. At full speed, the machine can produce 40,000 per shift, according to Portugaise.
