About SepraTek’s flat sheet membrane fabricating machines

Sepratek's flat membrane manufacturing machine consists of an autoclave tank for preparing dope solution, an unwinder of support layer for casting the coating solution, a casting device (slot-die or casting knife), a humidity chamber, a coagulation tank, an extraction tank, a dryer, and a take-up. The standard widths of the membranes are 6, 12, 24, and 42 inches, but custom designs are also available. Adopting a PLC system, it precisely controls the casting process, such as temperature, tension and speed in operation.

  • In VIPS (vapor induced phase transition) process, a chamber that can control humidity and temperature can be chosen as an option to precisely control the formation of porous structures in membrane preparation.

  • A brief description of the flat membrane manufacturing machines is as follows;

  • Precise membrane thickness control.

  • Automatic winding speed control to maintain a constant casting speed.

  • Casting speed control.

  • Easy to operate and maintain.

Sepratek offers membrane fabricating equipment for R&D designed to achieve fast and accurate results as manufacturing variables change. The membranes that can be manufactured using the flat membrane manufacturing machine are as follows.

  • Microfiltration/Ultrafiltration membranes

  • Nanofiltration/RO membrans

  • Pervaporation/Vapor permeation membranes

  • Gas separation membrane
