Areka builds equipment for both processing routes. The route is set by the polymer: whether it is taken into solution, or melted. Choose the row by the structure you need, the column by the polymer you have. Where the two routes meet. UHM WPE gel is prepared on a twin-screw extruder, then spun, extracted and drawn into high-performance fibre. See page 08. Every configuration is adapted to the polymer and the process. Where a machine is offered at more than one scale, the units are the same in kind and differ in throughput, footprint and degree of automation.

A spinning-dope dosing unit, using either a piston or a gear pump, feeding a coagulation bath, washing and drawing units, a drying system and a winder. Materials range from hydrogels and cellulose-based polymers to acrylic and UHMWPE. Each system is configured to the polymer.

5-inch touch screen • temperatures, screw, traverse, collector 5-inch touch screen • temperatures, screw, conveyor Solvent-free throughout. No solvent recovery, no drying train, no effluent. The installation is materially simpler than the solution route for any polymer that will melt.

The Industrial Spinning Series. One system, three nanofibre production techniques: solution blowing, electrospinning and electroblowing. Compressed air rather than electrostatic force drives fibre formation, which lowers energy consumption, raises productivity and removes the shock hazard of a high-voltage-only system. Available Available Solution blowing • electrospinning • electroblowing AK-PLA • AK-PVA • AK-HA Filtration media • biomaterial webs • protective textiles • acoustic and thermal insulation C1.0 carries no high-voltage supply and is a solution-blowing configuration only. L1.0 and...

Compounder & FilmCasting A 2-in-1 line combining polymer compounding and film production in a single compact installation, for polymer blends, composites and functional films. Precise parameter control gives consistent film thickness and repeatable output.

GelSpinner & accessories Gel spinning couples the two routes: UHMWPE gel is prepared on a twin-screw extruder, spun and coagulated, the solvent extracted, and the filament drawn to high orientation. Twin-screw extruder Spin pack & coagulation Drawing units Filament formation High-performance fibre Solvent removal AK-UHMWPE, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene ▸ High-performance filament research · protective textiles, cut- and abrasion-resistant · rope and cordage · thermoplastic-composite reinforcement Configuration-dependent. Specifications are set per project. ▸ No technical data sheet...
