Electrospinning Roto Translation Unit

Electrospinning Roto Translation Unit

Electrospinning Roto Translation Unit is a high-tech system that combines the rotary and translation movement of the collector to create a uniform substrate of both random or aligned nanofibers, by simply changing the configuration.

OBTAIN FIBERS WITH UNIFORM THICKNESS

The system consists of an electrical control cabinet installed in an electrospinning chamber made with insulating materials.

WHAT KIND OF FIBERS DO YOU GET WITH THIS MACHINE?

The system allows obtaining fibers with both aligned and random structure, depending on the configuration.


WHAT ADVANTAGES DO YOU GET FROM USING THIS MACHINE?

Compared to a classic rotary collector, this system translates and rotates at the same time to guarantee a uniform deposition of fibers along the collector.
The device is supplied with aluminum cylindrical collectors. Thanks to the detachable mandrels of the rotary system, collectors of different sizes can be mounted. Besides giving you the possibility to work with collectors of different sizes, that gives you the possibility to obtain tubular structures, avoiding the membrane cutting to peel off the fibers.
It is also possible to install a flat collector in an easy way, by using the provided screws.

Configuration with rotary collector - speed up to 5000 rpm

Configuration with flat collector

WHAT MATERIALS CAN YOU ELECTROSPIN?

With this unit, safe and ready to use, you can electrospin any type of organic, synthetic, or ceramic polymer.

WHAT QUALITY OF NANOFIBERS DO YOU GET?

Nanofibers are characterized by a high reproducibility over time and by a uniform thickness along the axis of the collector.
