Method and system for wrapping ties in a facemask manufacturing process

An automated method for wrapping fastening ties around a body of a continuous stream of facemasks in a facemask production line, comprising:

• conveying the facemasks on a conveyor in the production line at an orientation such that each facemask has a leading pair of ties and a trailing pair of ties extending from a body in a conveying direction of the production line;
• at a wrapping station in the production line, subsequently clamping the body with a clamping device to prevent rotation of the body;
• at the wrapping station, grasping the leading and trailing pairs of ties with a rotation device at each side of the conveyor that rotates around the body, and rotating the rotation devices to wrap the leading and trailing pairs of ties to wrap around the body.
