The Force for Nanofiber Production
FibeRio Technology Corporation is utilizing advanced rapid response manufacturing methodologies to bring a full line of products to market that maximize the incredible potential of Forcespinning Technology™. The FibeRio development team is dedicated to scaling up Forcespinning Technology™ to increase production capacity for the nonwovens industry.
Scaling up to Industrial Production
Perhaps the most exciting component of Forcespinning Technology™ is its scalability. FibeRio Technology Corporation is dedicated to providing the nonwovens industry with a superior alternative to electrospinning. Forcespinning Technology™ at the industrial scale will no require corrosive solvents and highly volatile operating environments that severely limit the electrospinning process.
Centrifugal Force – The Force for ROI
Forcespinning Technology™ does not use electrostatic force to create nanofibers. Instead, a vessel (spinneret) is rotated centrifugally on an axis at very high RPM. This rotation forces polymer solution or melth through an orifice and the sheer force upon exit blasts the polymer into ultrafine fibers. The viscosity and RPM work together to control fiber diameter and homogeneity.
The Force for Increased Output Capacity – 1 Gram/Minute/Orifice
- Capital Expenditures – Increased output capacity reduces capital expenditures to achieve desired production threshold.
- Quality Fibers – Average fiber diameters of 300nm and below, with excellent homogeneity.
The Force for Simplicity – Save 71%
- Solution Spinning – Solution spinning with Forcespinning Technology™ uses 18-21% concentration levels compared to 4-9% with electrospinning. Dielectric solutions are not required, enabling cheap non-corrosive solvents (i.e.Water).
- Melt Spinning – Forcespinning Technology™ works well in the melt, which enables production without solvent and provides yields of 100%. Furthermore, no salts are required to create a dielectric melt, such as with electrospinning.
