As part of nanotechnology, the current booming topic of research and development, the nanofiber spinning by electrospinning has reached to a point of maturation after a decade of intense research and development work in academia as well as industry. From a mere mg/hour production excitement, pilot scale and industrial production scale production figures in the range of kg/hour or m/min levels has been achieved.
The pioneering research and development name (Inovenso Ltd. Co. www.inovenso.com) in the field of electrospinning has now announced its pilot equipment with a web with of 60 cm and a production figure of 84 m/min at 0.5 gsm suitable for most of the filtration applications. Specifically, the nanofiber production capacity for Inovenso PilotLine with PAN/DMF at a 13% concentration solution is 21 grams/hour. Depending on the weight (gsm) of the nanoweb, the nanofiber coating thickness, nanofiber coated membrane capacity per hour can be calculated. For example for 0.5 gsm nanofiber thickness and 60 cm coating width, the capacity is 84 meters/hour which has only been a dream so far.
