A machine designed to protect the PPE kit with hot air seam sealing tape providing 100 percent protection.<br \/>\nWhen the PPE kit is ready, its sewing needle is about 2mm in size and about 0.5mm in size. As a result, if the infected patient&#8217;s blood or fluid enters the kit through tiny holes left on the kit, the doctor-paramedical staff treating the infected may also be infected.<br \/>\nThe latest technology to seal the holes left in the seam on the PPE suit-kit has been developed in Rajkot using specialized tape using this hot air seam sealing machine.<br \/>\nThe holes left in the sewing process in the PPE kit are sealed using this tape to make the PPE kit water and air proof to resist the virus.<br \/>\nThere is not enough availability of such hot air seam sealing machine in Gujarat so it has to be imported from abroad. The cost of such a machine imported from China-Korea is Rs 8 and the delivery period is 12 weeks.<br \/>\nSuch a machine can be manufactured at 50 per cent less.<br \/>\nIn 20 days, a team of 100 persons-workers has built the first hot air seam sealing machine in India with 80 per cent in-house parts.<br \/>\nWith the guidance of the doctors of Indian Medical Association Rajkot Branch, 200 such hot air seam sealing machines have been manufactured in the first batch in a very short span of time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-38707\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/allgujaratnews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7D0A2792.jpg?resize=696%2C413&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"413\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-38708\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/allgujaratnews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7D0A2793.jpg?resize=696%2C358&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"358\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nThe Chief Minister inaugurated the Mac Power CNC from Gandhinagar.
