Electrospinning machines designed and built in Italy since 2003
Linari Nanotech designs and manufactures electrospinning machines in Pisa, Italy, with more than 400 installations worldwide in universities, research centers and manufacturing companies. Every system is engineered in-house — electronics, mechanics and software — and can be configured for biomedical, pharmaceutical, filtration, energy and advanced materials applications. Our portfolio also extends beyond classic electrospinning to blow spinning, melt electrospinning, yarn electrospinning and electrospray.

Still deciding? Talk to an R&D expert and we will configure the system around your material and target output — or have our laboratory in Pisa validate your nanofiber first, before you invest.
The research behind each capability
Our Knowledge Base collects 220 peer-reviewed publications on electrospinning, each summarised with authors, affiliations and a link to the original paper — including 124 that name Linari equipment in their Methods section. Below, the studies that best explain what each machine capability is used for in practice.
Aligned fibers and tubular structures — the capability of the Starter Kit for aligned nanofibers, the Compact Unit and any system with a rotary collector:
Coaxial and core-shell fibers — available on every system with two or more pumps, using our coaxial needles:
Process control: humidity, temperature and parameters — why the RT Advanced controls atmosphere and why an external air treatment unit is offered on the All In One:
Industrial scale-up — the ground covered by the Pure Spinner and the RT Advanced:
These are independent peer-reviewed studies collected in our Knowledge Base to document the state of the art of each technique; they are not necessarily performed on Linari equipment. Browse the full publication library.
Which electrospinning machine is right for you?
Getting started — benchtop starter kits. The Electrospinning Starter Kit for random nanofibers and the Starter Kit for aligned nanofibers (with Easy Drum rotary collector) are compact 40–60 kV systems ideal for laboratories approaching nanofiber fabrication for the first time.
Research & development systems. The Compact Electrospinning Unit produces both random and aligned nanofibers with an X-Y moving spinneret; the All In One Electrospinning System is a modular 40 kV multi-collector platform that grows with your research; and the Gantry 3D Spin adds G-code XY control for near-field precision patterning.
Industrial and pilot production. The RT Advanced runs two fully independent spinning groups — 2 × 60 kV, 8 pumps, up to 8 materials at once — with closed-loop thickness control for unattended operation in regulated environments, while the Pure Spinner produces substrate-free nanofiber material in bulk on a horizontal drum of up to Ø250×600 mm. Read more about industrial scale-up.
What does an electrospinning machine include?
Every electrospinning setup is built around three main components: a high-voltage generator that creates the electric field driving the process; syringe pumps and capillary needles that extrude the polymer solution — including coaxial needles for core-shell fibers; and a collector, flat plate or rotating drum, where nanofibers deposit. Learn how the process works in our guide to electrospinning technology.
Safety and fiber quality by design
The design of our machines avoids electrostatic phenomena and interferences that may alter fiber trajectory, and special attention is dedicated to raw materials. Every chamber includes an interlock that automatically shuts down high voltage if the door is opened during operation — so you always work in a safe environment.
Modular and customized solutions
As scaffold complexity grows, your equipment can grow with it: start with a plate collector and add a rotary system for aligned nanofibers later. Our machines are designed not to limit your work, with modular upgrades, AI-assisted process tools and fully custom-engineered systems developed together with your team.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between a starter kit and an R&D system?
Choose a starter kit if you need to produce your first nanofiber membranes with standard polymers on a limited budget. Choose an R&D system (Compact, All In One, Gantry 3D Spin) if you need multiple collector types, precise process control, aligned fibers or multi-material spinning.
How much does an electrospinning machine cost?
Prices depend on configuration: voltage range, number of pumps, collector types and options such as climate control. Benchtop starter kits are the most accessible entry point, while industrial systems are quoted per project. Request a quote and we will configure the right system for your application and budget.
Can I upgrade my machine after purchase?
Yes. The modular design is a core principle of Linari systems: collectors, pumps, coaxial needle sets and AI process tools can be added later without replacing the base machine.
Do Linari machines support coaxial and core-shell electrospinning?
Yes — all systems with two or more syringe pumps work with our sealed and modular coaxial needles for core-shell and triaxial nanofibers.
Do you deliver, install and support internationally?
Yes. With 400+ installations across more than 70 countries, we ship from Italy and provide installation, training and after-sales support for laboratories and production sites worldwide.
