The MemCast™ automatic casting machine is ideal for the automated synthesis of flat sheet polymeric membranes. This state-of-the-art machine allows for the precise creation of membranes with varying thicknesses by applying a thin film of polymer solution.

After the immersion in a coagulation bath, this results in the formation of the final membrane via wet phase inversion. Whether you need self-standing film layers, or you prefer to cast on various substrates, MemCast™ offers the ultimate solution.

The RotaMem is designed for the centrifugal potting of hollow fiber membranes into R&D modules using 2k potting glue. The process starts by placing the modules, containing the hollow fibers, together with the casting container, into a holder. This module holder is then positioned on a rotor in the drawer that slides out from the centrifuge. The process can start when the drawer with modules and casting container is slided into the potting chamber.

Upon starting the selected fabrication program, the module begins to rotate and the potting chamber is heated to the required process temperature. As the centrifuge reaches the specified parameters, polyurethane or epoxy resin is introduced into the casting container through a central opening in the centrifuge lid. The centrifugal forces generated cause the resin to flow from the casting container into the head area of the modules. Once the resin hardens, the centrifugal plate stops rotating, allowing the modules to be removed from the potting chamber.
