Robotic Gown Machine
Harbour Technologies’ first robotic system for production of level 2 and 3 isolation surgical gowns has gone online, with a capacity of 3000 units per day of ANSI/AAMI standard gowns in Canada. The robotic system allows for high-speed ultrasonic welding of gowns, ensuring no fluid penetration along the seams with a proprietary 3-bar welded seam.
How we serve you.
From designing & building custom machines and automation to retrofits and rebuilds, at Harbour Technologies, we’re confident we have the right solutions to suit your needs
Advantages:
- Ability to run various materials including SMS, PET, washable materials.
- High speed production using systems familiar with North American production. Examples include Rockwell Automation components, Kawasaki Robotics, Telsonic ultrasonics and SMC pneumatics.
- Immediate ability to run different size gowns at once, or a mixture of batches. An example would be running batches of Mediums and Larges at the same time.
- Name brand North American components and 24-hour technical support and on-floor service and training.
N95 Cup type Respirator Equipment
Harbour Technologies has also engineered an N95 cup type mask and production equipment and has built the first production systems of its kind in Canada, which is in operation in Western Canada.
Harbour has developed a unique self-decontaminating mask, using exclusive antiviral material technology for its production system. Along with the antiviral properties of the mask, we’ve also engineered a filtration medium that has 98% filtration and utilizes material that is readily available in North America. This circumvents the supply strain of relying on foreign materials to manufacture our masks. Harbour’s N95 masks are currently under testing for both NIOSH certification and for medical certification to the ASTM F2100 standard.
The automation system can produce 9000 to 20,000 masks per day, dependent on automation options.
Advantages:
- Flexible materials and geometries can be manufactured using our automation.
- Additional quality control, using Cognex camera systems.
- High-End Telsonic ultrasonic systems.
- Rockwell automation controls.
- User-friendly controls and HMI screens allow for full control of systems.
- 24-hour support and service in North America.
- On-site training and installation.
Surgical Mask Machines
3-Ply surgical machines engineered and built at Harbour, using the highest quality components and designs, to eliminate down time and scrap rate Capable of 20,000 to 50,000 masks per day, depending on options Proven to manufacturer up to Level 3 ASTM surgical masks Optional packaging equipment

Contract PPE Manufacturing
Harbour Technologies has invested in a PPE manufacturing facility in Windsor, Ontario for the medical production of level 2 and 3 gowns, along with N95 masks and surgical masks. Harbour has the mechanical engineers, robotic controls specialists, highly-skilled machinists, and production staff to meet the contract manufacturing needs of our customers. We know the production process and the equipment, because we not only build the machinery for PPE manufacturers — we also manufacture PPE ourselves.
Sub heading: Current Production Capabilities
Surgical Masks Level 1,2,3 ASTM:2.25 million per month $0.20cents to $0.35 cents per mask boxed in 50 packs with master cartoons of 2000 masks.
Level 2 & 3 Gown Manufacturing to ANSI/AAMI Standard Level 2 & 3 Gowns:Production capable of 3000 + gowns per day.
Face Shields : TBD
N95 Cup Type Mask Production:12,000 per day (Coming February 2021)
Harbour has also implemented CSA Z299.1, CSA N299.1, ISO 9001:2015 programs for high level traceability, inspection, tolerancing, and production control processes. Our experience with CSA high level quality programs will ensure that all production data, material test data, test reports, and material traceability will be conducive to meeting all ASTM and NIOSH requirements in large scale production on our floor, and supporting our MDL and MDEL licences, which are in the process for approval.
