Production plants for membranes

Production plants for membranes

For over 50 years, Mainsite Technologies has been successfully building systems for renowned membrane manufacturers to produce hollow fibers and flat membranes. The membranes are used in microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, gas separation, dialysis, plasma separation, membrane adsorption, oxygenation, and membrane contactors.

Depending on the application in the medical technology, electronics, or chemical industries for process water treatment, the systems are tailored to the respective requirements of cleanroom technology or GMP. The quality of the membranes produced is determined by key process parameters as well as by process engineering and structural elements of the system components.

The product portfolio of spinning systems includes various spinning processes, from melt spinning to wet spinning. Complete systems, including control and automation, are offered with different throughput capacities for the following applications:
- Research and testing systems
- Pilot systems
- Production systems

The systems include all necessary infrastructure components, such as raw material storage for the feedstocks, feeding and processing of raw materials at the feed stations, filtration, spinning parts, climate chambers, extraction wheels, dryers, changeovers, texturizing, winding, recycling of wastewater, and exhaust air purification. Depending on the level of automation and the size of the system, measures can be taken to keep personnel requirements at the lowest possible level.

At the beginning of a project, a key parameter analysis of the material system is conducted together with the customer, and a concept for a pilot or production system is developed. Customers benefit from the expertise accumulated by Mainsite Technologies over the years. In terms of "Time to Market," a quick, goal-oriented clarification of technical solutions is more important than ever for the customers.

Building on the system concepts, feasibility or economic studies can also be conducted, providing insights into manufacturing costs and investment risks of the produced product. Investment costs, personnel requirements, raw material, and energy consumption of the system are to be estimated and are directly included in the profitability analysis. Customers are also professionally supported in market assessment.
