FAS equipment for apron production at GAIA BioMaterials

In 2016 FAS installed a line for production of disposable protection aprons at GAIA in Helsingborg.

GAIA supplies healthcare sector in Sweden and Norway with aprons made of their Biodolmer® material which is also suitable for a wide variety of applications. Read more about Gaia here

The line consists of a FAS FC500A cutter with a standard SP500 winder and can be used directly in-line with an extruder up to 60m/min. The FC500A is specifically designed for making Aprons, and is built on a robust and well proven technology that enables 24/7 production.

The demand for sustainable and local production of disposable protection aprons is increasing and we are ready to meet that demand.

FAQ

Can it be used for aprons with sleeves?
– No, not on this equipment.

Can we rebuild our existing FC500 to a FC500A?
– Realistically not, it is more cost efficient to buy a new one

When can I get one?
– We build to order and delivery time varies, please contact us.

Can I run off-line?
– Yes, together with an unwinder it is possible.

What type of material?
– Virgin, recycled or biomaterial is fine. It has to be single layer that is v-folded or a tube that is opened on side before entering the cutter.

Do we need a sealing unit?
– No, the FC500A will do the cut-out and perforation. Nothing else is needed.
