[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Hurim Robot announced on the 23rd that it has succeeded in domesticating mask automation equipment designed with chassis technology. Hurim Robot has installed production equipment at its manufacturing plant in Cheonan and has started trial production, with plans to enter mass production soon.


Through this trial production, Hurim Robot plans to increase the number of units produced per minute to maximize mask output and improve continuous production capacity. Additionally, it aims to develop technical know-how related to the efficiency of mask production equipment and operational optimization.


Currently, the mask automation production equipment developed by Hurim Robot can produce 60 units per minute, allowing one piece of equipment to manufacture 1.5 million masks per month. Hurim Robot aims to increase the monthly mask production capacity to 1.6 to 1.7 million units through this trial production.


In addition to manufacturing production equipment, Hurim Robot is preparing its own factory for mask production. Not only for mask production but also for buyers visiting to purchase equipment, they will be able to directly verify the operation of automation equipment and the mask production site, which is expected to create significant synergy effects.


A Hurim Robot official stated, “Once the trial production is completed, we plan to deploy mask production equipment at the Yongin plant from the end of this month to start full-scale mask production,” adding, “We will also begin sales activities for the automation equipment by inviting buyers.”



He continued, “Recently, due to defects in Chinese-made mask production equipment, there have been many disruptions in mass production, leading to a surge in inquiries about Hurim Robot’s automation production equipment,” and added, “Hurim Robot plans to provide a comprehensive solution covering automation equipment, after-sales service, and consulting, and is expected to become a leading company in the domestic and international mask production equipment market.”
