TRUSTECH Launches 8th Gen Hollow Fiber Membrane Spinneret, Setting a New Industry Benchmark
As a core component of environmental membrane production equipment,hollow fiber spinneret innovation has become a pressing industry priority. Legacy designs suffer from performance shortcomings that depress throughput and impose heavy maintenance burdens on manufacturers. TRUSTECH newly developed 8th generation hollow fiber membrane spinneret decisively addresses these challenges, establishing a new technical benchmark and delivering powerful gains in quality and efficiency.
Despite China's standing as a major global producer of environmental membranes, progress in spinning spinneret technology has lagged, constraining productivity. 4th generation units, for example, rely on position pins to maintain assembly concentricity. Operators must manually fine tune alignment under a microscope —consuming significant time, labor, and materials— yet precision remains low. Stability is also weak: after a period of use, needle tubes can re-decenter due to stress relaxation or heating.
These issues create a perpetual maintenance burden. Beyond subpar performance, the use of position pins makes disassembly difficult, inflating the time and manpower needed for cleaning and upkeep. Mishandling during tear down can easily damage needles, driving up scrap rates and maintenance costs for membrane producers.
TRUSTECH began reversing this trend with its 5th generation hollow fiber spinneret, followed by the 6th generation, both of which advanced industry capabilities. R&D has accelerated markedly over the past two years: after the 6th generation, the company quickly rolled out the 7th and now the 8th generation, with the latter heralding a step change for the field.
The 8th generation hollow fiber spinneret features a flow control module design with simple structure and intuitive operation. Each orifice can be independently controlled, ensuring consistent dope flow and enabling straightforward multi head expansion. The result is modular, customizable, and flexible manufacturing—producing different specifications on the same equipment simultaneously—while supplying core technology for system upgrades. Its combinational architecture reduces assembly complexity; if an independent spinneret sub-module clogs or fails, operators can make on line micro-adjustments without stopping the line. If a braided tube spinneret encounters a fault during production, it can be swapped in minutes—or even in 50 to 30 seconds—without downtime, rapidly restoring output and cutting operating costs.
As the developer behind the 8th generation hollow fiber membrane spinneret, TRUSTECH FCT Technology continues to lead the industry's innovation curve. The launch of its pinless, screwless 7th generation spinneret earlier this year—followed by the 8th generation—further consolidates TRUSTECH technological edge, making it a trusted, high quality choice for users across the sector.
