Lab scale melt spinning of textile fibres
At RISE, our lab-scale melt spinning line allows the development of mono- and bi-component fibres from as little as 100 g of material. Despite the small scale, the system includes all essential components of the melt spinning process, enabling controlled evaluation of spinnability, fibre geometry, and processing parameters.
Advantages of lab-scale melt spinning
The service is ideal for R&D projects where material availability is limited, enabling you to establish proof of concept and test new fibre formulations early in the development process. You can explore mono- and bi-component combinations, new polymers and additives and gain valuable insights that inform pilot- and industrial-scale production.
Our lab-scale melt spinning capabilities
Our bi-component lab-scale spinning line is designed for flexible research and prototyping. Polymers are extruded through a spin pack with integrated filters, drawn in a two-step draw zone, and finally collected on a bobbin, allowing precise control over fibre formation and early-stage material evaluation.
Lab-scale trials can include
- Mono- and bi-component fibre spinning (0.1–2 kg/h, speeds up to 2000 m/min)
- Spinning of monofilaments or 19-filament multifilament yarns
- Suitable characterisation and testing to evaluate fibre properties
Other R&D services in melt spinning
We also offer spinnability evaluation and material selection support to help you optimise polymer blends and fibre properties, as well as pilot-scale melt spinning services.
