Sanitary Pad-Making Equipment in India Modified to Mass Produces Medical Masks @ 6C Each

Caption

Saral has modified a sanitary pad-making machine to produce 50-70 three-ply disposable surgical masks per minute for less than US 6 cents each. Saral is partnering with a Mumbai-based auto firm to mass produce masks in their factory, to be distributed through Maharashtra Government networks. Saral will manufacture more machines and support customers pivoting to local mask production.
