Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret

The rib-reinforced hollow fiber membrane spinneret, also called Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret is a specialized spinneret assembly used for preparing hollow fiber membranes via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). Based on conventional coaxial and multiphase spinneret structures, it adds a reinforcement filament introduction and positioning channel, which can stably introduce one or three high strength fine filaments (e.g., nylon/monofilament fishing line) into the membrane wall or at specific radial positions at the moment of fiber formation. The reinforcement filaments co-form with the membrane matrix in the coagulation bath, significantly improving tensile strength, anti-knotting, anti-brittle fracture performance, and resistance to operational stresses, without compromising the membrane's separation performance or hollow structure.

    Product Overview

    The spinneret enables three stream or multi-stream coaxial side-by-side co-extrusion: the outer layer is the polymer dope, the inner layer is the bore fluid, and simultaneously one or three reinforcing filaments are introduced. Through geometric constraint and tension control, a repeatable, uniform, and positionable "rib–matrix" composite structure is formed within the membrane wall.


    Essentially, the spinning spinneret is a precision device for "multi-material co-extrusion, "distinct from built-in ribs , protrusions formed by the membrane itself, or post lamination reinforcement. It achieves one shot co-forming of the reinforcement filament and the membrane body, providing a dedicated solution to the insufficient dry/ wet strength and filament breakage issues of wet process NIPS membranes,especially polymeric ones.

    Structural Features

    Multi-channel coaxial design, precise reinforcement filament placement

    Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret 5
    01
    Independently routed multi-channels
    The spinneret contains at least three independent channels for conveying the casting dope, membrane-forming polymer, the bore liquid to form the lumen, and the reinforcement filaments, nylon or fishing line. These three channels converge coaxially at the spinning spinneret orifice to ensure the reinforcement filament occupy the intended position in the membrane, e.g., one at the center, or three arranged with circumferential symmetry.

    02
    High positioning accuracy for reinforcement filaments
    The filament channel diameter closely matches the filament diameter, typically 0.1- 0.3 mm, with a clearance ≤ 0.02 mm, and the channel axis deviates by ≤ 0.01 mm from the spinneret's central axis, preventing filament offset that could cause non-uniform strength or filament exposure.

    03
    Highly polished channel walls
    The inner-wall roughness (Ra) of the filament channels is ≤ 0.8 μm, reducing friction during filament feeding, preventing filament breakage or tension fluctuations during spinning, and ensuring continuous, stable supply.

    Trustech Spinneret Key Design Elements Trustech

    These parameters are fundamental to spinneret design and directly determine the membrane's final performance:

    Parameter

    Description

    Influence on membrane performance

    Flow channel (R) The runner for transporting, buffering, and distributing the dope and bore fluids. Different structures should be optimized according to material properties, viscosity, spinneret orifice size, and hole quantities to achieve optimal spinning performance.
    Annular gap width (d) The gap (thickness) of the dope flow channel. It primarily determines the hollow fiber wall thickness. Narrower gaps yield thinner walls and lower mass-transfer resistance, but may reduce mechanical strength.
    Bore tube outer diameter (d₁) The outer diameter of the central tube forming the inner wall of the annular gap. Together with the outer sleeve inner diameter, it defines the annular gap width.
    Outer sleeve inner diameter (d₂) The inner diameter of the spinneret outer sleeve forming the outer wall of the annular gap. Together with the bore tube outer diameter, it defines the annular gap width and the fiber outer diameter.
    Central tube inner diameter (d₃) The diameter of the bore fluid channel.  It primarily determines the fiber inner diameter. The inner diameter affects membrane module packing density and the pressure drop of fluid inside the fiber.
    Length-to-gap ratio (L/d) The ratio of the flow channel length (L) to the annular gap width (d). It affects spinning stability. Designing an appropriate L/d according to material properties and process conditions helps stabilize flow and eliminate entry effects, resulting in more uniform extruded fibers membrane.
    Concentricity The coaxial alignment among the dope layer inner diameter at the spinneret outlet and the bore tube inner and outer diameters. It affects wall-thickness uniformity and bubble point pressure.
    Extrusion face geometry The foremost geometry of the spinneret, such as flat or micro-tapered. It influences draw-down and deformation after extrusion, especially important for the air-gap segment in dry-wet spinning.

    The Advantages of Trustech Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret Trustech

    Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret 9 Precisely embed high strength reinforcing filaments to markedly improve mechanical performance

    Enhances mechanical properties without sacrificing separation performance. One or three high-strength fine filaments are stably introduced into the membrane wall at the moment of spinning and co-formed with the matrix, significantly improving tensile strength and resistance to brittle fracture while maintaining the hollow structure and separation accuracy.

    Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret 10 High precision multi-channel coaxial architecture for stable positioning and controlled forming

    Independent multi-channel coaxial convergence, with filament channel dimensions closely matched to the filament diameter. Under tension and geometric constraints, a positionable "rib–matrix" composite structure is formed, avoiding filament exposure and non-uniform strength.

    Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret 11 NIPS compatible process with stable lumen and reliable continuous production

    Forced synchronous co-forming and optimized flow-path design ensure undisturbed phase separation, uniform pore structure (void fraction deviation ≤ 3%), and a non-collapsing lumen, enabling stable continuous spinning and high yield.

    Functional features

    Optimized for wet-process NIPS, balancing strength and separation performance

    Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret 12 Forced synchronous co-forming

    By controlling the reinforcement filament feed speed to synchronize with the dope extrusion speed deviation ≤ 5%, the filament and dope are extruded simultaneously at the spinneret orifice and then enter the coagulation bath together to undergo phase separation. This ensures a tight interface between filament and membrane with no gaps or delamination peel off strength ≥ 5 N/cm).

    Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret 13 Non-disruptive to phase separation

    The flow channel design of the dope path, e.g., tapered outlet, filleted corners without dead zones, ensures uniform dope outflow, avoiding flow disturbances caused by the filament channel, thereby preventing membrane defects such as uneven porosity or pinholes and maintaining separation accuracy (e.g., MWCO deviation ≤ 10%).

    Polymer Fiber Spinning, Core Fiber Reinforced Spinning Spinneret 14 Stable hollow structure

    The annular gap between the bore-fluid and dope channels is uniform (deviation ≤ 0.01 mm). Even with added reinforcement filaments, the bore fluid can uniformly wet the inner surface of the dope to form a lumen with stable dimensions, void fraction deviation ≤ 3%, preventing lumen collapse or deformation.

    What is Rib-Reinforced Hollow Fiber Membrane Spinning?
    The rib-reinforced hollow fiber membrane spinning is a NIPS based process in which one or three high strength fine filaments are co-extruded coaxially with the polymer dope and the bore fluid, forming a "reinforcing rib–matrix" composite hollow fiber in a single step. It significantly enhances tensile strength, anti-brittle fracture performance, and operational stability without compromising separation performance.
