FET -200 LAB

Laboratory scale wet spinning systemsIntroducing the FET-200 LAB

In addition to pilot and small scale wet spinning production lines, FET now also designs and manufactures a lab scale version which is more suitable for the early stages of formulation and process development.

Systems can be supplied for a wide range of different fibre types. These have ranged from corrosive aqueous salt solutions (such as alginate fibres), to acidic systems (such as engineered silk) and also systems using flammable, toxic solvents (such as UHMWPE).

The FET-200 LAB system is ideal for formulation and process development:

  • Compact design makes efficient use of laboratory space whilst delivering high level of functionality
  • Enables accurate replication of processes on a small scale
  • Allows full exploration of processes with low volumes of processing solutions
  • Capable of processing wide range of materials: e.g. corrosive, flammable, acidic
Features
  • Single or multiple dope vessels of various sizes for batch / continuous operation
  • Continuous homogenization of spin dope with temperature control
  • Exchangeable precision spin pumps and height adjustable spin engine
  • Horizontal, vertical spinning in the coagulation bath, with unique thread-up system
  • Temperature control of coagulation and solvent recovery
  • Highly efficient washing haul-off systems
  • Numerous combinations of washing baths available
  • Filament drying systems with hot air circulation
  • Flexible configuration of draw line components with multiple drawing zones
  • State of the art computerised control system with data acquisition
Benefits and option available

This system is exceptionally flexible and allows for added options, such as heated draw stations, infra-red heating, heated rollers, hot air and water.

Benefits to clients include:

  • Compact design makes efficient use of laboratory space whilst delivering high level of functionality
  • Enables accurate replication of processes on a small scale
  • Allows full exploration of processes with low volumes of processing solutions
