The packaging and bagging process for traditional medical anesthesia masks has long been plagued by four major issues: bags sticking together, difficulties in automated bag retrieval, high rates of bag damage during insertion, easy detachment of UDI codes, and uneven sealing strength leading to compromised air-tightness. Each defective mask packaging not only erodes the already slim profit margins of enterprises but also increases the risk of product traceability and reduces the yield of good-quality products every time a UDI code comes loose or a sealing failure occurs. Moreover, every single handling step further diminishes production capacity.

The packaging and bagging process for traditional medical anesthesia masks has long been plagued by four major issues: bags sticking together, difficulties in automated bag retrieval, high rates of bag damage during insertion, easy detachment of UDI codes, and uneven sealing strength leading to compromised air-tightness. Each defective mask packaging not only erodes the already slim profit margins of enterprises but also increases the risk of product traceability issues and reduces the yield of good-quality products every time a UDI code comes loose or a sealing failure occurs. Moreover, every handling step further diminishes production capacity.

The anesthesia mask packaging production line, centered around a patented air-bag isolation technology and a dynamic flow system featuring upright carriers, redefines the standards for packaging complex consumables—just as if each mask were equipped with an “in-cabin GPS.” This ensures that peak production capacity of 1,500 pieces per hour is achieved in tandem with 100% accuracy and a 100% success rate in bagging, truly realizing a zero-anxiety closed-loop process where packaging itself becomes the quality control.

 

Core Technology: Industrial Aesthetics with Precise Bag Insertion

 

01 Upright Conveying: Spatial Reconstruction

Equipped with a flow-conveying upright conveying system, complete with displacement sensors and a dynamic balancing algorithm, this system ensures that packaging bags are conveyed in an upright position throughout the entire process, overcoming the layout limitations of traditional flat-position conveyance. Thanks to its modular, reconfigurable architecture, the equipment’s space utilization is improved by more than 40%, creating an optimal path for mask insertion into bags that is “flip-free and collision-free,” thereby eliminating the risk of secondary damage during handling.

 

02 Zero-Contact Entry into Bag, Anti-Stick Design

Employing a uniquely innovative, proprietary airbag isolation mechanism and a customized mechanical gripper integrating both a gripping claw and a flexible guiding dual-system, this solution eliminates the adhesion between the mask’s airbag and the bag wall, ensuring that each mask is precisely inserted into the chamber with surgical precision.

 

03 Smart Label: Sealing and Closed Loop

Using online UV inkjet coding technology for real-time code generation, combined with an instant curing device (curing time ≤ 0.2 seconds), the resulting UDI codes are waterproof and moisture-resistant, and can withstand alcohol wiping without peeling off. 
The intelligent sealing mechanism can simultaneously handle combined packaging consisting of PET bags and breathable paper on the bags. Verified through sealing penetration tests, it exhibits excellent sealing performance and is equipped with an integrated smart counting module, enabling precise portioning.

 

The equipment handles bag packaging, UDI code printing and scanning verification, mask assembly and bagging, sealing of bag openings, and counting and outputting finished products—all in one integrated process. Without the need to add any additional handling steps or equipment, the product can be batch-wise transferred to the outsourcing workshop, significantly reducing the labor intensity for operators and saving on multiple manpower resources.

 

Core advantages: High throughput and stability

 

01 Efficient Capacity Assurance

The equipment maintains stable operation even at a peak capacity of 1,500 pieces per hour. By leveraging a precision servo system and a modular design, it optimizes production takt time, meeting the stringent requirements of the medical consumables industry for high-volume, continuous production.

 

02 End-to-end process stability control

The trajectories of the vehicle’s rail and mechanical gripper have been optimized using a dynamic balancing algorithm, reducing operational vibration amplitude, enhancing stability, and ensuring high consistency in the final product’s shape.

 

Use case

Suitable for the production and packaging of special-shaped masks, such as anesthesia masks.

 

This device represents a revolutionary solution that streamlines the entire process of anesthesia mask packaging—from material feeding and barcode scanning to bagging, sealing, and counting—completely addressing three core challenges: low manual efficiency, large space requirements, and uncertain product quality. By creating greater economic value for customers, it marks another technological leap forward for Bestam Precision Machine in driving the automation and efficiency of medical consumables. 
The anesthesia mask packaging machine is not merely an automated replacement for the packaging process—it’s a practical embodiment of the principle that “precision is the lifeline” in the medical consumables sector. When every single mask arrives at the operating room with an integrity rate exceeding 99.9% and 100% traceability, what we deliver is not just equipment; it’s the fundamental guarantee of patient safety and the final line of defense against hospital-acquired infections.
