Electrospinner
NANON-01A, MECC, Japan.
· Quick and easy programming with a 10-key controller.
· Types of spinnerets: tubeless, multiple jet, and ultra-thin coaxial spinnerets.
· Types of collectors: disc, drum, and plate collectors.
Electro spinning is a fiber production method which uses electric force to draw charged threads of polymer solutions
The basic principle for a polymer solution to be electro spinnable is its ability to carry an electric charge and have sufficient viscosity to be stretched without breaking up into droplets .

( Types of Electrospinning )
Tubeless spinnerateUseful in case low volume Of polymer soln. | Multiple jet spinnerateSpin nanofibre more than 10 times efficient compared to single nozzel spinnerates | Ultra-thin coaxial spinnerateSpin hollow and coaxial nanofiber Diameter of core 0.2mm Diameter of shell 0.8mm |

Clip spinnerateStandard spinnerate, Easy handling because Only metal connecter have to be cleaned. |
( Types of collectors )
Drum collectors | Plate collectors | Disc collectors |
