MemCast™ - redefining membrane creation
The MemCast™ automatic casting machine is ideal for the 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.
Specifications
Key features
01Reproducibility & accuracy
The MemCast™ guarantees homogeneous and reproducible membranes, minimizing variations and inconsistencies that are often encountered in manual processes.
02Adjustable speed & temperature control
With easily adjustable settings for coating speed and temperature, the MemCast™ ensures optimal casting conditions tailored to different formulations, enhancing membrane quality and consistency.
03Safety & ease of use
The one-arm casting design enhances operator safety and allows for easy removal of the casting plate. Additionally, the MemCast™ features a user-friendly mechanism for securely attaching and detaching the coating support, making the transition to the coagulation bath quick and effortless.
04Versatile & Durable Design
Compatible with different coating supports, with a tempered glass plate for long-lasting performance. Custom-made knives are available upon request, allowing for tailored casting options to meet specific needs.
Accessories
01Custom made casting knife in aluminium
The width of the knife is either 380 mm (for casting of 355 mm wide membranes) or 190 mm (for casting 165 mm wide membranes).
A wide range of customized casting knives is available offering different casting thicknesses. The user can select up to 4 thicknesses. The thickness can vary between 50 µm and 1000 µm.
02Coagulation bath
Special bath to submerge the produced membrane in a nonsolvent bath, which allows for final formation of the membrane by means of solidification.
03Glass casting plate with special clamp
A glass casting plate with special clamp to attach nonwoven fabric or another substrate layer.
