Reifenhäuser Reicofil and Berry Global Group have signed a contract for a meltblown line for the production of highly efficient filter material for FFP2 (N95) and FFP3 (N99) respirators. The plant is scheduled to be delivered in June. In order to support the fight against the corona virus, Reifenhäuser Reicofil had reduced the delivery time of the line by one third, to 3.5 months.

The 1.6 m wide Reicofil meltblown line is equipped with a technology for electrostatic charging and provides high-quality filter material that guarantees a high degree of separation, low pressure loss and a high storage capacity. The plant will bring an additional annual capacity of 550 tonnes of N95 material respectively 365 tonnes of N99 material to the market, which will serve the EMEA economic area. The plant will be installed in France.
