Pilot-scale Electrospinning Unit (Electroris-Pilot)

FNM Pilot-Electroris machine (NFL60), which has 1 electrospinning unit, is a polymeric/ceramic nanofibers producer machine in pilot (semi-industrial) scale for various applications. In pilot-electroris, the electrospinning parameters and conditions such as spinneret and collector parameters, working distance, linear movement speed of the used substrate, working temperature, operation time, and the value of applied high voltages (positive and negative) could be controlled using an HMI control panel. The machine offers excellent safety for users with respect to the handling of high voltage power supplies and chemical solvents.
The pilot electrospinning machine has been designed and built to coat various substrates. Applying high voltage to the solution forms hundreds of polymer jets to the collector that is located on top of the spinneret. Finally, a layer of nanofibers forms on the collector.
Using this machine, nanofibers could be deposited on different substrates in pilot scale. Nanofiber coating rate on different substrates is about 1 - 100 m/h using this machine.
