Industrial Nanofiber Production Line (INFL6100B)
FNM Industrial Nanofiber Production Line (INFL) is an industrial-scale machine designed to produce polymeric and ceramic nanofibers for a variety of applications. It can accommodate 1 to 6 electrospinning units based on the customer requirements. The INFL allows for precise control of electrospinning parameters, including spinneret and collector settings, working distance, substrate linear movement speed, working temperature, and operation time, all managed through an integrated advanced control system. The machine offers excellent user safety in handling high-voltage power supplies and chemical solvents.
Using this production line, nanofibers can be deposited onto various substrates at an industrial scale, making it particularly effective for producing nano-filters and nano-respiratory facemasks. The nanofiber coating rate ranges from approximately 50 to 800 meters per hour depending on the number of electrospinning units utilized.
