THE MOST POPULAR ELECTROSPINNING SYSTEM TO WORK FULLY UNMANNED
If you are looking for a full optional machine with high productivity, RT Advanced certainly is the right system for you.
🟢What advantages do you get from using this machine?
The unique feature of this cutting-edge electrospinning system is the chance to work with up to 8 different materials at the same time taking advantage of fully indipendent programmable syringe pumps.
The standard solution includes a Primary HV Generator with a single pump, however it has the possibility to implement up to 4 pumps in the Primary HV (as an option).
In addition, you can add a Secondary HV Generator with the possibility to add another 4 pumps. In its complete solution RT Advanced is equipped with 2 HV Generators and 8 pumps.
The peculiarity of this system is that the collector stays fixed, while the syringes move on the vertical axis. This technology, combined with the vertical collector and the machine weight of 300kg, allows reaching a speed up to 5000 rpm without causing oscillation and remaining a quiet device.
To ensure a real time quality control as an option is available laser measuring systemwe can now monitor in real-time the thickness of the fibers. Being the fibers extremely soft and thin, calipers or micrometers are not suitable to measure the number of nanomaterials produced. Through the optical system of Omron technology, we can now monitor in real-time the thickness of the fibers, to an accuracy of 10 nanometers.
🟢why should you choose our RT Advanced?
With the RT Advanced it is possible to electrospin any type of synthetic, organic polymer or ceramic material, starting from solutions at room temperature.
🟢What materials can you electrospin?
Compared to other systems, RT Advance is the only system able to move the syringes without using tubes. By working with tubes, a huge quantity of material remains inside them. That causes a waste of the material and a need to regularly replace tubes. With this advanced machine instead, this won't be a problem.
🟢What quality and quantity of nanofibers do you get?
You can create deposits of nanofibers with chaotic or perfectly oriented structure by simply changing the operative settings. The nanofibers are characterized by high reproducibility over time, with the possibility of depositing up to four different materials at the same time.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OF THE DEVICE
- Unique: what makes the RT Advanced unique is its original structure composed of one or more vertical axis rotating chucks along which the syringes and their needles move.
- Replacement of the collectors: simple and fast replacement of the collectors, even if they are large, thanks to the single lower self-centering chuck.
- No waste: the loading of the syringes is done without wasting solution due to the absence of flexible tubes which connect them to the needles.
- Silence: the vertical movement of the needles along the collector reduces the size of the machine and eliminates vibrations during operation, even at high speed.
- Second high voltage generator: the collector is insulated from the ground so that it can be connected to a second high voltage generator up to a potential of +/- 60 kV.
- High quality components: all the materials used have been carefully selected to avoid interference on the electric field between collector and needles for maximum control of the nanofiber deposition, avoiding waste and improving the morphology of the substrate.
- Reliability: the use of Omron Electronics industrial components for the control electronics guarantees the maximum reliability of the system also under heavy use conditions.
Safety
- Opening of the spinning chamber is blocked when high voltage is present.
- Control system for the automatic interruption of production in case of blackout or malfunction.
