The FET-200 Series

Pilot & small scale production wet spinning systems

Where melt spinning solutions cannot succeed, FET provides a viable alternative with pilot and small scale production FET-200 Wet Spinning Systems. These may be used for a variety of solvent and polymer combinations:

Wet spinning for processing new functional textile materials
Allows maximisation of polymer and hence fibre properties
Optimisation of process conditions for transfer to large scale
Small scale production for bespoke high value products
Available for multifilament, monofilament and staple fibre formats

The FET-200 Series is available for multifilament, monofilament and fibre in both laboratory and pilot scale. With many high performance applications, such as biomedical and composites, these systems are proven and successfully operating worldwide.

Sustainability
FET’s commitment to enabling the development of sustainable yarns is not restricted to melt spinning technology. Where this technique is unsuitable, we have also helped clients wet spinning systems in the textiles section, such as the development of recombinant silk proteins. Read more.

All FET-200 Wet spinning systems are tailor made and take into account required throughput polymer/solvent combination and downstream process conditions.
